If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain

I'm not bingeing. I just sometimes only eat once a day. I honestly think it has to do with not knowing how to take care of myself.
I'm going to sit down with my work schedule today and figure out what I will be doing for exercise and when I will make time to plan ahead for meals so that I can have more structure, and also start being consistent with myself.
 
If you're not eating and you're not binging... you must be losing weight.

No?

If you want to run your exercise plan by me feel free.

Also, preparing foods or meal plans in advance goes a looonnnngggg way. Make a list of foods you enjoy and are healthy. Buy them. Cook them. Eat them.

Haha.

I think I've told you before. Twice per week I prep most of my food eaten during the week.
 
I did lose about 6 lbs in a week but I started eating again and gained it back. Lately I have been eating, but not frequently and unfortunately I put it off until late at night since I get off work at 7. So I think right now my focus is to get some exercise every morning before I do anything else, and also to eat dinner before I do anything else after I get home from work. Also, I'm going to sit down and plan my meals and snacks.
I am going to start out with walking for exercise, but I also want to do weights and will probably refer back to your earlier post. I dont want to overwhelm myself though so I may not do that right away.
 
Ok so today I will be in a training class all day at work. There will be a substantial amount of candy, chips and soda in front of me, but I will try to ignore it all.

I hope it goes by quickly- it's a leadership class. They are training me for management. It's been a little stressful on me lately because they have given me a title something like 'department head' or something and there are now people below me who I am responsible for. Eek.
I am also going to start training for a promotion and start doing annuities and stuff. I can see my manager thinks a lot of me because he says the only thing I need to work on is my self confidence because I worry too much about other people. Idk.

It's hard cuz one of the guys under me is resisting me a lot and has sent me a few emails just going off at me over little things, and talking down to me. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I am a woman. I dont know.
But I think the self confidence thing definitely applies to my whole life.

So that's work. Kinda stressing me out. But I've gotten over worse, right?

Sooo anyways thats pretty much what is going on with me. I have been trying to see friends but I have been a bit anti social. One of my best friends wont talk to me right now :( she thinks I lied to her about something, when what I really did was repeat information I heard from someone and it turned out to be untrue. I am not a liar, I am not a mean person, so it sucks that she wont talk to me, but I've done all I can do by admitting I was wrong for repeating the information and telling her I'll be here when she's ready. I was pretty upset about it last night but I think I've lost too many friends over silly things like this and if that's what happens now, she wasnt as great of a friend as I'd thought.

I'm going to see my mom on the 29th. That's pretty much the only thing I am looking forward to.

Anyways I have to stop babbling now, time to get ready for workity work.


oh- I have no idea what to eat today :( I was going to figure out some kind of plan last night but all of that stuff happened and I was pretty much useless. I dont know if I will have time to exercise either because right after work my friend is coming over. I'll do what I can.
 
You'll eventually have to make time for exercise and planning out your nutrition.

If you don't... it won't happen.

Especially not consistently.

I'm not trying to give you shit. You do this when you're ready. Just make sure holding off isn't something that is going to come back to bite you in the ass, emotionally, later on.
 
So I have started walking more :) I feel great about it. I walked to the park yesterday and i think it's about a mile and a half round trip. then I walked on the trails on the bluffs...and I forgot how long that walk is. Like 3 I think. Anyways, I am about to go out for a walk right now, and then I will come home to figure out what I am doing to do in terms of diet. There's such an intense heat wave and I am on the second floor so it gets unbearably hot in my apt, so I am trying to start early.

Things didn't work out with my friend... but I think I am better off without her.

I also decided that I dont want the distractions anymore. There are so many ways to let life happen around us, and I just found myself doing just that. i think I am going to ask work if I can do the early shift and leave earlier- around 5- so that I can go hiking or walking in the evenings.
 
Hey hey.

so I have been hiking everyday. Today I am actually going to the trails I used to hike on like everyday. I think it's the one place I have always felt centered. It's not going to be easy, but I think I can push myself to do it. I rly want to get back to where I can do it 3-4 times a week.

I have been eating pretty well too. I made a roast chicken, so I have been adding it to different meals. I have also been eating rice, and salad, and fruit. Just yummy stuff. Not counting calories yet, but I know I need to up my calorie intake so I will start doing that at some point.

so right now, I am still just focusing on drinking lots of water, getting outside everyday, and eating several healthy meals/snacks.

I am starting to feel something inside me. I hope it's the fire I need to help me burn through this.
 
Hey Guys :)

So I went hiking today and it was a bit difficult because i have been sick for the past few days and I was kinda weak. But of course it was worth it! There were like 235676432 people on the trails today, so it wasn't as solitary as I would have liked.

I logged on to spark people today to track my calories for the day. I am going to try to keep doing this to help keep me on track.

I am going to spend the rest of the day finding a way to add structure to my life because it seems like that is what I need to do to make sure I get everything taken care of, make it to appointments on time, and have time for things I like doing without feeling overwhelmed.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Britt

Good Morning :)

I am sitting in my room at my mom's in Colorado. I've been here for a week, and I'm actually flying home today. I weighed myself on the scale here this morning and I am 11 lbs down from the last time i weighed myself at home. I am sooo happy :) My clothes are fitting better, and I really feel so much better. I have not been eating as many calories as I need because my mom and I are on really different eating schedules and I tend to just eat with people, and not on my own. But I have been eating a lot of protein and veggies and fruit and definately getting two good meals a day at least with snacks and stuff. Also, she has given me some great tips for preparing food ahead of time, and I actually bought a scale to take home with me so I can weigh my foods and stuff. Anyways, I just wanted to stop in and share the good news :)

Good job girlie...

Just keep going one foot in front of the other... you'll get back into exercising regularly when it's right for you... your sporadic hikes are good for your soul too..so keep those going.. .
