Ten Days Out
Mar 28, 2014
I am 10 days out, and I have not felt this strong, healthy and pain-free in a.long.time. My energy level is pretty decent, although since I am definitely taking advantage of not being at work to indulge in a daily nap. I have been hitting the gym to walk on the treadmill the days that are too rainy to walk much outdoors.
Track track track EVERYTHING from exercise to water to food intake--it's so important. I will return to work in 5 days, so on Sunday I am going to use my tracker to pre-plan my menu for the week. Tuesday I get to have soft foods added, one thing new each day. I had a dream about a scramlbed egg the other night. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ready :)
I ran some errands today and forgot to pack protein, by the time I got dog food at Petco and miscellaneous at Target (including yogurt!) I was famished and feeling a littl weak. I ate a greek yogurt while still in the parking lot. Waited about 5 minutes and felt ready to tackle afternoon traffic across Salem.
Anyhow, I want to discuss something important....I have removed the words (in reference to food and eating behavior) "bad" or "good" ....gone---banished! I also do not say things like I was "bad" today in reference to food. I do not put values on food any more, that is something I started working on about two years ago and it's become a habit, a very important one in my divorce from food.
Since December, I have been consuming for fuel, and it's paying off! Food is not "bad" ---- It's about making choices. I choose the things my body needs.....such as yogurt in a parking lot so I don't crash into someone else! :)
Hey all, happy Friday
Mary
