Shut that *kitten* Down (STSD)
Massive action, not passive action
The weekend *kitten* show. It will happen again. Gonna plan for it.
Going out to dinner with Jim
1. Start with a salad and a Diet Coke
2. Eat slowly, your mind is gonna tell you hurry the pizza is coming. don't believe it.
3. Eat one bread stick. your mind is gonna say, oh they taste so good, you've been good all week. this is your splurge
Stop and really taste the bread stick, eat half now and save the other half for after pizza.
Now the hard work:
4. PIZZA! cyndie loves herself some pizza, it tastes so good, my mind says I don't care if I am going to hate myself later, eat up, you will work it off later,
After a few bites of pizza, (I know it tastes good) really feel how your stomach feels. how full are you? are you at a plus two yet? today, we can eat to a plus 3, I have planned for that. it is still way less than I would normally eat. Is the first piece gone? Notice where your mind is. are you still in control?
5. drink your soda.
You can eat one more piece, you have planned for 2 pieces. but if you eat one more piece and your half bread stick will you be over a plus 3? At this point my mind will really be trying to convince me it is ok to eat past 3. but you have made a commitment to yourself. you can and will have pizza again.
6. If eating one more piece and your half a bread stick will put you over a plus three, make a choice, breadstick? or pizza?
7. You are now done. your mind is gonna say but it is so good. you can have one more piece. you have done way better than normal, one more piece won't hurt. STSD!! Remember, you are creating new healthy habits. This is the new you. you will feel so proud of yourself and next time it will be so much easier to eat on plan.7 -

thanks everyone for all the supportive headache comments. I am feeling much much better thanks! Looking forward to an amazing weekend.
My daughter sent me a text yesterday telling me she ordered me a new plant based book called "Eat feel fresh" it's based on an Ayurvedic approach. I was really excited since I had been looking at the reviews on this book last week. She ordered us each one. I was so intrigued that I started googling and taking quizzes. According to this system I have an imbalance of Kapha Dosha. I would wager that I am not alone on having digestion/elimination issues. There is a chart that describes what normal is and what it isn't. It is the first time anywhere that I have seen or heard of my symptoms outlined in detail. I was so excited and full of hope. So even though I am doing so many things "right" apparently I am doing many things that aggravate this state of being. I have been so confused trying to figure out where to go from here. I feel like I now have some new answers. Robin will have the new book for me tonight so I will be able to take it with me. My plan is to start implementing as many changes now over the weekend then go full force on Tuesday the 19th. I have a whole new long list of no no's and a new list of "yes yes". I am so full of optimism and hope. More later.7 -

Switching to my new Friday weigh in's:
Week 2
PW (2/11/19 previous wi) 151.6
CW: 148.8
2.8 lb loss since Monday - mostly due to dairy issues. I've been good all week
You don't need to count it since I already weighed in for week 2, I'm just getting myself on track!
Yesterday was a pretty good day, although at work we had cupcakes and brownies and cookies for Valentine's Day. I did have a brownie and boy it was delicious and worth every single bite!!5 -
I had a client so I had to stop writing...but to carry on. I slept 4 1/2 hours last night. I was up until 1am researching. I made jasmine rice, beans, roasted carrots, and roasted brussel sprouts to pack for today's lunch with Kitari spice. I also made a fresh batch of ginger tea to take to work. Had burdock tea with raw honey for breakfast. Gala apple as well. Snack lightly toasted pumpkin seeds and unsweetened dried organic cherries. The site that I found most info on was Banyan Botanicals. They are the ones that had the elimination chart. It's really interesting cuz I know Molly is definitely not what I am. I will do more research on what works for her this weekend. Often it is the same meals but maybe a few different ingredients. Fascinating stuff and I am always willing to explore new health options. I feel like I can stop weighing daily and start focusing on this new eating plan. It's so good to feel hope.5
