I managed to exercise every other day. And for the most part I paid attention to what I was eating.
But there were a few days where things did not go great.
Emotional Eating: One day I will write something more in-depth about my struggles with emotional eating. Today I will just say that I had a bad day and once I got home I "ate my feelings".
Then there is the cold factor. When it gets cold my instinct is to huddle up and snack. We had a short cold front come in and I bundled up and grazing happened. Like a bear prepping for hibernation.
On a positive note. This weekend was beautiful and I went out to lunch and shopping with my mom. It was actually her idea as a means to cheer me up (again emotional eating comes into play).
I ate one of the best burgers I have had in a long time.
I know it isn't healthy. But I did not eat all the fries. And it was so GOOD.
I think that by restricting too much from a lifestyle is wrong. And I am not calling what I am doing a diet. I am just trying to cultivate better habits. Learn to pay attention to the foods and their nutritional value. At the same time, there are days that I feel foods should just be enjoyed. Healthy or not.
Goals for this week:
- Add some different exercises like burpees, jumping jacks, planks, etc
- Try a few new healthy food options
- Focus on mental health
