So I think this week has been a bit of a bust on the whole "change my lifestyle" road. One of the good points for the week--I didn't eat out at all. This helps my budget and my calorie intake. So score one for me. On the downside while I've discovered a website with really great lite recipes, I still need to work on portion control. After working from 5am-8pm I find myself coming home eating three servings of what should be a healthy one serving. Still better than eating out. I also didn't make it to the gym this week. Even on the days when I got done early, I was so tired I just came straight home. Home is like quicksand. Once I get here, I rarely get out. It doesn't matter if it's going to the gym or the grocery store. I don't want to leave. Overall, not the week I was hoping for, but I've got room for improvement. Goals for next week: don't eat out and make it to the gym three times. Good goal.
I'm working hard to change the way I think. Before, if I was dieting and ate something I wasn't supposed to I'd say "the whole day is a loss" and then go crazy. I expected to immediately be perfect. Perfect at the diet and perfect at the exercise plan. Some of my OCD tendencies from work? The problem with this being that when I fail at something, I obsess, beat myself up about it, and emotionally eat. Uh, can we say vicious cycle? You'd think since I have insight it would be easy to stop...not so much.
Let's hope insight keeps me on a good path next week.
