Healthy Household
@ 2008-06-23 – 19:42:59
About two weeks ago, my other half said he wanted to eat more heathily and since we have been taken this quite seriously. He says he would do his own 'pack up' for lunchtimes at work but he has been slacking there lately!
He made a wonderful dinner over the weekened which were Chicken Tikka wraps with salad and natural yoghurt although I admit I couldn't eat much wraps as it made me bloated! (I don't eat or like much bread anyway!)And I have been doing at least thirty minutes exercises a day once my child is asleep during his nap in the afternoon. My mood has definately improved and I have not been ill lately which people who know me well I am quite prone too!
I can't quite eat most raw fruit and veg for snacks although I try. I try to make fruit or veg salads as it is easier that way. And I have noticed my son has taken a liking to eating some salad too!
(I also reduced giving him any cordial juice a while ago and now he drinks a lot of water!)Right now I am manually writing down any healthy recipes I am finding online as we don't have a working printer. I wonder how long this will last!? But I want to try and do this for a while as I was luckily brought up on cooked healthy food everyday and eating chips and deep fried junk was very rare in my parents household!

One of the reasons why I hesitate to weigh myself when I am revising my food intake and exercise regimen is that I become obsessed with the numbers staring back at me.
I never believe the final tally, it is never to my satisfaction and I fret about how I can lower the number faster and quicker and blah, blah, blah.
Logically, I understand that your body weight can change at various points throughout the day. Psychologically, it is a crushing blow to my psyche if the scales don't move fast enough to my liking or gawd forbid you gain an ounce or two.
Bit of a quandary that is.
Methinks I should just exercise and not look at the scales.

Today, I resisted stuffing my face with some homemade Busy Day cake with a gazillion dollops of homemade caramel sauce.
I ate more salad and grilled cinnamony pineapple drizzled with honey.
I passed on the Malibu Rum and strawberry daiquiris at lunch.
It didn't kill me not to scarf it down and I suffered no eater's remorse after the lunch.
Taking it one day at a time.

In one week I have lost 5 pounds and just over 1.5 BMI (Body Mass Index).
I am feeling stronger, positive and determined to become and maintain a healthy body and lifestyle.
Ta da!
How did I do it?
Eat less and move more.
That's it in a nutshell.

Hunger pains or not so much

During times of stress, I often reach for food of any sort, shape or color, to stuff down my gob. Typically, I am not hungry but eat to soothe my troubled self.
I am aware I do this and need to unlearn this behavior without imploding.
I find that if I can distract myself from my innate desire to eat, once that moment has passed, I am fine and can move on without consuming a ca-trillion calories.
On a positive note, I have lost 1.4 pounds in 4 days by exercising more and cutting back on the portions.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

a stark reality

The mirror doesn't lie.
Neither do the scales.
I can avoid looking directly at my naked body when glancing in the mirror and I never weigh myself.
This makes it easy to ignore my body size.
I thought I was a few pounds overweight.
Seems like I was wrong.
I am obese.
Up until yesterday when I managed to weigh .4 of a pound less than the day before.
Now I am overweight.
I am ashamed to weigh what I do.
This stark realization that I am overweight, fat, just a whisper shy of being obese has motivated me into changing my eating patterns (less quantities), reducing the amount of empty nutritional foods (breath mints, gum, hard candy, alcohol *gasp*) and I have increased the amount of exercise I do.
My MIL said it best, 'Less food + more exercise = weight loss'.

Snacks
@ 2008-06-09 – 14:38:52
I have had a thing about wheat snacks ever since I shouldn't be eating wheat, not that I didn't like them before! So I got through 2 huge bags of Twiglets at the weekend
Think I may need to substitute with gf toast n marmite.
Today I have eaten little, but not exactly healthily.
Need to stop being so lazy and make decent lunches for myself again.
It's not like I don't like healthy food, I seem to have rediscoved my love of peppers, it's more of a can't eb arsed to walk for 15 mins to the shop to buy some. Sigh.
Motivation, I has some again! Sziget is approaching and I wanna lose a bit of weight before then! -
Starting Again
@ 2008-06-09 – 13:49:45
For the past two weeks at lunchtimes, I have been eating ready meals and also snacking on top of that! It's so easy to fall into these habits when you're on your own and just cooking for one! Of course I do try and cook a meal for dinner for the two of us so it's not so bad then. I also have not been doing my Wii Fit. I really want to be a bit muscular and put some weight on! Apparently muscle is heavier than fat and that's what I am trying to achieve!
Today I broke that luckily and have eaten a small portion of sushi and a homemade banana milkshake. (I love veggies but not so keen on fruit so it's easier for me to make milkshakes/smoothies!) And I did have MacDonals for breakfast!
Think I need to learn to make my own homemade sushi again like we use to! 
Think I might do some exercise now while I still have some energy!
