Janelleas's Journal, 31 Jan 09

Diet: I am feeling better about my changes in my eating plan. I feel more at peace with food the last few days. I am listening to my body and if it tells me it is hungry I feed it. I eat my three meals a day and most days include a snack. Now that I am not focused on eating at the "right time" and getting all my snacks in I feel a certain kind of mental freedom. I don't have to think about food til my body tells me to. I have healthy food in the house. I am prepared for healthy meals and snacks whnever called upon, so no problem. We will wait and see what the scale does this week.

Exercise: I have already missed a day of exercise and I might miss one again today. Just been busy and away from the house most of the day. Just here for a short while to journal and then off again to meet up with friends for movie and supper out. Maybe i can get some floor exercises in later tonight.

Tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday and we are going with some new friends (I really like them a lot) to our local casino that is 45 minute drive from here. We are going to place our bets on the game and then partake of the Sunday Champagne Brunch. Then we will head home and meet up with them again at 3pm for the Super Bowl party at their house. It would be another day wasted on finding time to exercise but I already told them about the Super Bowl Challenge I am in and that I will be doing push-ups and jumping jacks each time the Steeler's score. They thought that sounded funny...since they MIGHT be betting on the Steeler's. Kathy said she might even do the same in my Cardinals score. So it looks like exercise will be included in our game day.


All in all I am feeling more at peace with food these last few days. I feel in control and more positive. I lost 3.6 lbs in the last 4 weeks and that is good for me, very good. I hope I can keep that up each week. Leaving for Mexico in April and my birthday is in May and I am really trying to make my goal by birthday. I am staying focused so far.
