Weekly Goal: Reduce sugar intake - get rid of sugar addiction. Read more sugar addiction and understand what to expect with withdrawl symptoms. Eat plently of wholesome, nutritious foods. Eat slowly, put a little less on my plate and think about and enjoy what I'm eating.
Today's Goal: Eat healthy snacks, eat a reasonable portion for lunch, eat slower and enjoy my food. Walk 5 times around the school (up and down all stairs).
Emotional rating: 3.5 Tired but feeling reasonably OK
Morning: I woke up at 6:30am to go to the bathroom and thought the day looked lovely, then promptly jumped back into bed and slept again until 7:45am. I didn't have much time for getting ready so stopped by my favourite convenience store for 2 samga gimbaps (1 for lunch and 1 for a morning snack).
Afternoon: I've been on the computer almost all day so am starting to feel a little weary. I want to keep my promise to walk around the school buildings 5 times before I leave home. From my previous experience I can get a little sweaty, so I'm going to do it at 4:00pm and then just leave for home and take a shower.
Today's Sucesses/Challenges:
Sucess: I weighed myself this morning and it seems I have lost another 1kg, so am down 2kg in less than a week. It's coming off pretty fast but I still don't think I'm starving myself or being too drastic with exercise. I'm also not 100% convinced about my scales, let's see where I'm upto on Friday for my official weigh in.
Challenge: I found it a challenge to put less on my plate at lunch or to leave food behind. At the same time, I was conscious that this is usally the healthiest meal of my day, so I'd rather eat my fill at lunch and feel satisfied to curb any afternoon snacking. Also, I have a tendency to eat while engaged in an activity on the computer. I think tomorrow, I want to make a more conscious effort to move away from my computer, slow down and think about each bite, rather than just muching it down as fast as I can to finish it.
