Realizations.

Today while talking to my aunt, who I am very close with, I came to some realizations. It's not about the quantity of what I eat it is about the quality. Before I decided to make a change I would eat for quantity. I can specifically remember a time when we went out to IHOP as a family and I based my order off what plate would give me the most food. Looking back I realize that this is part of the reason why I got to where I am now. I now realize that eating 6-8 oreos in a sitting is not considered healthy at all. Some days I would end up eating my lunch AND part of someone else's lunch..... Was I crazy?


Our conversation today was about how when we eat healthier, we end up eating less and we feel more full. That's exactly how I feel. What I eat now isn't about quantity, it's about quality. When I get a *treat* now I savor it, I don't sit there and inhale it in under one minute. Throughout the past two months or so I have learned that it is all about what you are putting in your body, not how much.


My challenge for you this week is to slow down & enjoy your food without reading, rushing, watching television, etc. Make your meal time something that you can savor as your time to think and clear your mind while you enjoy your food!

Re-organization :]

So over the past few years I have accumulated so much stuff that I do not need or want. About a month or so ago I decided to go through EVERY SINGLE THING that I have and get rid of what I did not need, etc. My room is officially finished and organized and if I might say so myself it is beautiful! I already want to go in and get rid of some more crap though. It is now time to go and clean out under my sink. I am afraid of what scary monsters are going to be under there though! When I am done with all this I am going to be one happy girl & I won't have to miss fun things like get togethers because I am still putting stuff away! I want to be able to go out and pull the shenanigans I always do.
Like this for example ^^^^

This weekend is a weekend of rest so there could be some funny things happening (:

Weigh In 11/3/09

So I am definitely bummed out about this weeks weigh in. I didn't work out a lot this week which was due to the fact that I was swamped with stuff to do & a couple days I went over my calories but over the past 3 days I've tracked faithfully & checked my calories on my BodyBugg so I thought I was going to be under for sure. But then, TOM came into town :/ So that basically explains the gain :/

Start Weight: 217.4 pounds
Previous Weeks Weight:200.6
Current Weight: 200.8 [+0.2 pounds]
Goal Weight: 135.0 pounds

Starting Body Fat Percentage:45.9 %
Previous Weeks Body Fat Percentage: 44%
Current Body Fat Percentage:44.1% [+0.1%]
Goal Body Fat Percentage: 30%

Starting BMI: 37.3
Previous Weeks BMI: 34.4
Current BMI: 34.5 [+0.1]
Goal BMI: 23.2

Overall I am not super happy with the fact that I gained BUT next week I know that I will be posting a bigger loss (:
