The normal stresses of the new school year have been taking their toll on my whole regimine. I too am having a tough time not wanting to stuff my face. I try to at least stuff it with the least destructive things possible such as hot air popcorn. But I truly do best when i don't eat anything after supper except for maybe a half a grapefruit. Last night I made pizzas for the fam and ended up eating a piece as well as my whole dinner. Of course i didn't put it on a plate and sit down with it...I cut a little sliver and ate it by the stove and then another little sliver....it was a whole piece in the end. Then there was the delectable coffe cake that was sitting on the counter undefended. It was a sliver here and a sliver there. The scale was up a whole lb and a half this morning and there are no excuses to make...definitly logical that it would be.
I know that excercise cuts my appetite and I thought about trying to get in more excercie to combat this latest round of difficulty but it seems soooo hard to get going and do the one session as it is. We haven't even been taking walks much in the evening what with getting kids settled in and it getting dark earlier. But somehow i have got to try. I can't think of anything else to do to stop this downward (upward on the scale!) trend. The stress isn't going to let up anytime soon that's for sure, and I get so scared when I think about regaining the weight i've lost and not continuing to lose.
OK....maybe I can think of other things....
I HAVE been forgetting to do some of the things that I know work and keep me losing. For one thing, I haven't been keeping up with my food journal the past few days. I previously had been making it an integrated part of every day....i carry it with me and I write everything down compulsively, including when and how long I excercised.
The other thing that is a biggie that I have been neglecting is drinking a lot of water. I usually keep a glass going all the time at home and keep refilling it, and take water bottles with me everywhere. I have derinitely been slacking on this the past few days. I also usually have a Spiruteen shake made with water and 3 egg whites (145 cal)once a day and I haven't done that in days! I am still taking my vitamins, and i am still having a salad for dinner with lean protein. The killer has been snacking. ugh!
I have been on the computer so little recently and not even up on the third floor much to puruse my wiccan books. But with the weather breaking (finaly) and it beeing tollerable heat-wize to be up here, that can change too.
About stones:
Amethyst is associated with positive transformation and relief of stress, and atrtemis crystal (a long, thin, clear quartz crystal with a sharp undamaged point) aides in bringing our visulaizarions and thoughtforms to their goals, Cat's eye is good for promoting steadfastness, will-power and self-control,Gypsum promotes resolve, purpose, steady effort, strength of will and inspires us to make our dreams come true, and Phenacite helps people with addictive tendencies to overcome negative habits.
I was thinking that if I had a stone in a ring on my right hand, I would see it everytime I reached for a snack!!
hugs,
Dreemy
