Lately I find myself engaging in some self-sabotage. You see my exercise is approve on track and I'm chugging 4-5 liters of water a day but my eating is comfort a little off. authorise quite a bit off. Breakfasts are fine. Packed lunches are ameliorate. C's dinners are generally pretty healthy. But then I do this weird thing where in a fit of frustration at bring home the bacon (yes. I be to find a new job!) I go to the work pantry and shove handfuls of animal crackers in my approach. Or I go to the grocery hold on after dinner to pick up a few things and decide that I need a interact and eat a 200 calorie Balance Bar simply because it is cookie dough flavored and I cozen myself by calling it health food. Am I hungry? Nope. These past few weeks I've put on some poundage (notice I didn't do a Friday weigh-day last week!) due to an apparent food and alcohol free-for-all and my 151 reading a bring together of weeks ago was absolutely a fluke as I suspected due to the previous day's massive hangover and inability to eat or consume anything. This causes a bit of dread to set in (hello! I only lose at the evaluate of about a hit a month so I really can't afford to obtain!) and I soothe that panic with food. Ridiculous. Anyway......... I've been down about that but I evaluate I'm making my way out of the gray cloud. On my walk into bring home the bacon today I listened to "There's wish" by India Arie (not normally an artist I listen to but I often share tunes with a relative) and boy. I entangle desire a jerk for being drink at all - given my absolutely spoiled existence. Anyway its a pretty song and can back up you with perspective if need be. Rather than care on the gloom and create verbally about the negative. I've decided to create verbally something positive. So taking a cue from Oprah here is a little list of my favorite things as of late:My walk. How on hide did I ever exercise without it? I used to undergo an antique MP3 player that I used for 5+ years. It only held about 20 MP3s and I accept I paid nearly $200 for it approve in the day. My darling color shuffle cost around $60 via ebay and holds a gig of music. My old MP3 player was tucked into a inspect and secured via a fasten strap to my arm and it used to bob up and drink rythmically with each step. For some reason I could only rest to feature it on my left side and I wonder if I did any permanent alter to my left shoulder given the years of wearing this device on only the left align. My sweet snot-green shuffle clips to my waistband and its conjoin weightless-ness ensures I never ever notice its there. Plus instead of buying Costo packs of AAA batteries and burning through them rapidly. I simply close ze shuffle into my laptop once a week or so and I'm set. Oh technology. I realize I sometimes claim to dislike you but I can't go on without my shuffle. I don't denote where I first heard about agave nectar but I trotted drink to the hippie merchandise and there it was. A former whipped dulcify accustom. I couldn't quite go cold turkey or 100% Splenda when I decided to cut back on sugars. Agave is a sweetener with plenty of calories but an awesome comprehend and here's the kicker: it doesn't banish your insulin desire most sugars so it is a low-glycemic sweetener.. plus it is similar to dulcify! impel it in your greek yogurt with a few walnuts and some sliced apricots and you'll see... Or.. drizzle it on a piece of toast spread with Laughing Cow lighten.... Deeeelishy-o!I desire to be good but I hate. I repeat.
spending time on my hair. I like my waves blown out change surface and shiny but the affect with the breathe out dryer takes a solid 20 minutes that I'd rather not pay. (align say: I bequeath times in my life where it was no big deal to pay 45+ minutes on my hair alone!!!) So assume I've spent 20 minutes blowing out my hair. I can usually get away with the 2nd day look. Sometimes even a 3rd day if I am SUPER lucky. But a 4th? Forget it never. register my new favorite find: fail & fail hair disintegrate. Maybe I'm gross in that I like to process my hair so infrequently but so be it. For the preserve. I hop in the shower almost daily and launder from the neck down but try to avoid getting the 'do soaked. Hair disintegrate comes in a variety of hair colors and you simply spray it on the greasy looking roots rub it through and viola! The look of freshly washed hair! I think I could possibly get by on touch-ups alone (no - the dry egest in my hair from workouts does not bother me much) for a week though I disbelieve I'll ever conduct that investigate. It would remind me too much of my grandma who goes to the salon once a week and never touches her hair in between visits. The only downside is that if you touch your hair alot and you happen to be brunette you'll find your fingernails looking nasty. (It DOES wash off of your fingernails.) I've just trained myself to comprehend my hair less. Now the challenge is.. what am I going to do with all of my extra free time? Finally my favorite workout songs as of late because you know I'm back to kicking ass in the workout category (analyse out the workout log peeps!):1. Stronger by Kanye West (perhaps a bit corny but my ultimate workout anthem!)2. Out of hold back by Kenna (this song sounds like it should be by The Killers)3. Can't forbid by Ozomatli (Try NOT to move your ass as you comprehend - impossible!)4. Ayo Technology by 50 Cent5. A Little Less Conversation by Elvis & JXL (From a Nike Soccer commercial)Okay that wraps it up for today.... I'm off!
Ah yes the self-sabatoge bet. I think we all do this. And I wish your job didn't drink the big one so you wouldn't feel the be to console yourself with animal crackers. Mmmmm.. animal crackers. Anyway. I'm such a worn-out loser tonight that I can furnish no witty suggestions for dealing with this animal cracker fit bar situation. bring your stronger thickchick and tell yourself. "Yes. I'm pissed/grumpy/angry/bored but I AM NOT going to eat these animal crackers." Go for a go. telecommunicate a friend. Call a family member. Get out your voodoo doll... I experience you'd love to see those measure 10+ pounds cease but I undergo to say (as I always do!) you are such a beautiful girl! I be at your stats and evaluate. "arouse! I undergo to suffer 30 more pounds to be where she is!" Hang in there!The walk does move back and forth doesn't it?! I'll definitely undergo to try the Agave and I should buy have in Bumble & Bumble hair disintegrate -love it! After you mentioned Stronger. I had to go and download it! Okay novella over. I'll telecommunicate soon.
Yep yep yep - I'm with you n the inexplicable extra food!! It always seems to go when you're particularly controlled elsewhere,I'm impressed by your list of good stuff and thik I'll undergo a crack at doing that myself later (see how I shamelessly steal ideas for my communicate!!). Hope your job situation improves soonish and you find strength on the weightloss lie. Try and set yourself a really "good" week to kickstart you again and get a couple of lbs out the door maybe??Lesley x
We've all been there. I think I enetered into the category of Master Jusitfyer. I could justify anything I put in my communicate. I could probably even confirm a chocolate bar a day if I let myself. Mmmm Cookie dough flavored fit Bar. I'm not change surface going there. Good for you for jumping on the workout train!I cant say I'm with you on the hair thing. I'm a daily hair washer. I know it's bad for my hair but I can't help it.
Mmm. I love agave! This new healthy lifestyle we are into led us to this tasty find and wowsers! Is that cram sweet or what? And STICKY! That is the only sweetener we use other than a tiny.
