Hi All
Thanks for the great encouragement
I have been super busy so I won't be getting to journals again today
Just a quick update:
I've had a couple of great runs lately. I think today will be speed training. I am still struggling with the late night snacking. Not only does it slow my weightloss but it makes me soooooo groggy in the morning. I just can't get out of bed these days. Poor kids. I hit snooze over and over and then its like we're practicing a fire drill to get out of the house. Too much rushing. Springs almost here... that will help, too.
So, the newest plan (as of this morning) is to enforce a pre-eating journalling exercise. If I'm going to eat late at night, or anytime that I'm not really hungry, I have to first write in my journal how I'm feeling, what it is I
really want and then ask myself if the food is going to be a good substitue. I expect I'll still eat, but maybe this will help turn me around in time.. who knows. My biggest problem with the late night stuff is that the carbs help put me to sleep. I've always had trouble falling alseep. I hate laying awake wishing I was asleep
I have decided I am making "life-long" progress because I no longer "start and stop" my diet. This has been one continuous journey since Sept 2004. Its full of peaks and valleys and hum-drum flatlands,but its all one journey. I'm hoping to figure out how to stay on the peaks a little longer and out of the valleys alittle more often!
