Let me tell ya--my body is SOOOOORREEEE and tired today. Now that I really think about it...mostly tired. The 8 hours of sleep I got last night didn't feel like 8 hours when my alarm went off. Maybe I still need to catch up on sleep. I'm still gonna work out this morning though--gotta stay dedicated right?
Today the book talked about finding and breaking the link to emotional eating. It talks about reaching for a piece of candy at one minute, then later in the day eating some cookies because you're frustrated about the fact that you ate those damn candies...and before you know it you've drowned yourself in food. "Struggles with emotional eating rarely happen in isolation. If your finances are already stretched, the broken washing machine adds another simply adds another layer to your anxiety." 178 The author encourages you to start figuring out what led to the first instance of emotional eating. Was it because you were upset with your boss? Was it because you got too hungry? She encourages you to find the source, so you can set up solutions and ways to avoid and handle the desire to eat out of emotions the next time.
On a completely different topic--I need to start tracking my calories and making sure there's diversity in my diet more--mainly the tracking my calories. I think that I'm either snacking too much, or I'm not eating enough calories for the amount of time I'm working out. Whatever it is, I know I'll pinpoint it with the tracking of the calories. I'm eating waaaaaaay healthier these days, and I'm really happy about that. :)
Okie dokie, time to work out...
