| I love winter walks! |
I am happy to report that this week's goals were met. I walked Tuesday & Thursday. I will walk on Saturday one way or the other, meaning outside or inside with a DVD. I did my stretching and weights on Monday, Wednesday and today. I tracked all my food intake. I made better choices, although not perfect. (A bite of chocolate here and there!)
I noticed that when I felt anxious this week, I would have a strong urge to eat, but I was not really hungry, so I decided to eat fruit or popcorn instead. That seemed to do the trick. (I thank God for popcorn!!) I will work towards distracting myself with something nonfood this coming week. (Or maybe pray that the anxiety will vanish!)
I was able to do better with increasing my vegetables and fruits. I will continue to work on this habit, as it is not my default, yet. It helps that Grace is now making us salads for lunch, and she will bring me a sliced apple or orange when requested. I discovered that I LOVE organic romaine lettuce. It is a brilliant green compared to the other pale stuff I was buying. One day I hope to eat only organic produce.

Good for you on meeting your goals!
ReplyDeleteI also sometimes want to eat when I'm anxious or bored. Try drinking water, maybe even with a bit of lemon juice added. That often works for me.
Or...do a crazy bit of exercise with the kids. Mine are so astonished, and we laugh so hard that all thought of food is forgotten...and the anxiety goes away, too.
I love romaine too!
Have a blessed and active weekend!
