I forgot to weigh yesterday - I think because we haven't turned the heat on yet and I was very cold so focused on getting out of jammies and into workout clothes and forgot the scale in between. Today I weighed and had a nice loss. Eating less = weight loss! Amazing! I am getting used to the new lower calorie diet. I am less hungry than I was at the beginning of it.
Thanks for the tips about the inner mean girl. I am lucky enough to not really have an issue with that, at least with weight loss. Sometimes I struggle with it when my autoimmune condition means I can't achieve the basics at work and home and things start falling apart because of that. I do pride myself on getting stuff done and mostly I can, except when I can't. Working on that.4 -

Felt a little better this morning, so we decided to see how much hiking I could tolerate. We did a total of about 5 miles on various trails in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I did a half-way job of keeping track of what I ate.... but got worse about it as the day went on. Idk what "bug" this is that I have, but I hope it doesn't stick around long. (2 covid tests have been negative thus far). But by this evening, I'm dragging again. We're back home how, and I'm going to bed early.
Brandywine Falls (60')
The Ledges trail......
This is absolutely gorgeous!!!1 -

We all have them. Those thoughts that tell us it’s okay to have some ice cream since we had such a lousy day. Then after we’ve lost control and eaten far too much, that same voice tells us we’ll never lose weight, we just don’t have what it takes, gosh, what a loser. Well, now that we’ve blown the calorie budget for the day, may as well go for the chips too.
Sound familiar? If we are going to succeed in this journey, we need to mange those thoughts. Shari Broder, health coach has some tips on how to do so. Check out her blog post on this topic for some helpful advice on how to handle our inner “mean girl/boy”:

I think I don't go off the rails with emotional eating so much as sometimes I am just hungry and want something more. Then I sometimes forget to stop. I find that forcing myself to LOG as that happens slows the process down to where I can recognize that the original reason for eating more has long since left the building.
Great topic today.
So awesome u are at this point. Must be lovely0 -

Updating my Oct 18th status. About one in the morning, when I was still waiting for the post-op call from my father's surgeon, I headed for the spare halloween candy. Turns out the surgeon called my mother instead of me (I was the post-op instruction) and my mother thought it was too late to call me. Meanwhile, I "knew" that I needed stay awake to take the call to inform my mother who was otherwise not going to get informed. argh! So Oct 18 has technically been a pass if I were counting them (did not join until the 16th of the Oct challenge).10

Dealing with some personal drama last week and got off track with posting. Pretty sure every day was a pass day, even when I did get a workout done.6 -
Exercise: Done.
Tracked: Yes.
Within calorie budget: Yes.
I used to beat myself up about eating sweets or fast food which only made it worse because I'd start spiraling and therefore start emotional eating, etc. I know the blog post is questioning if those cookies are really deserved but ever since I do tell myself I deserve it (because, honestly, I do deserve to eat something delicious that I very much enjoy) I don't feel guilty about it anymore which in turn stops the spiraling so I ultimately eat less of it. And I also kinda stopped buying most unhealthy foods ever since because by not restricting myself, those foods aren't even on my mind anymore.4 -

I'm so glad you're back! I've missed your! Sorry about the personal drama - been there, done that! Ugh. I know how difficult that can be. The key is to just keep coming back!
