I am now working with the psychologist and naturopath on my weight issues. The naturopath is of the view that I need to move my booty at least 50 mins 5 days a week and that I need to basically eat my carb in the morning only and this means no white stuff after brekkie. This shocked me as although I am not into copious amounts of white stuff (says me who has not been keepingh er food diary for months), I am concerned that while the weight might come off, will it also come back with renewed vigour once I do have some white stuff. I am still not 100% sure about this logic and am reading up more and more on this. Then there is the doubt of will I really really be able to eat no carb but the usual morning oats for months on end? I keep hearing this inner voice saying that this is unrealistic. So here is what I am going to do. I will eat some white stuff but never for dinner. If I do eat rice or any carb it will only be on days I move my booty for at least 50 mins. Breaking it down this way has made it just that little bit achievable.
Since I met the naturopath it has been bloody hot and I have tripped twice and hurt my ankle and basically have not ended up going for 50 min exercise, nor have I given up carbs. As far as my sugar addiction is doing, I did really well until yesterday. I think saying no to chocolate all the time during this Christmas period has done my head in. Having said that, until yesterday, I had felt no sense of deprivation when I said no to sweets. I was beginning to feel more and more proud of myself for empowering myself. I think I began to respect sugar for the power it could have and myself for controlling that and empowering myself to say no. However, yesterday I was challenged and I failed. There was some yummy Xmas cake a friend brought along and I had been eying it but did not touch it and then yesterday I took a piece and then another and also 2 pieces of Indian sweets which a friend packed for us. Today I had another piece of cake and also one last piece of the Indian sweet.
Although I was hormonally challenged during this time, I will take all responsibility and pat myself on the back for taking charge quickly. Although I have fallen, I know that I will rise again, brush the cake crumbs off my face and basically not touch this cake again. On Friday when hubby has the afternoon tea at his office I will basically ask him to take it in to work. I might as well distribute the calories instead of accumulating them all. I will also go for my walk tomorrow. So as it is going to be a 40 degree day, I think it will be best to go for the walk at 5.30am when the little one wakes up instead of waiting for the sun to heat my body up. So note to self tonight: Get the walking app working and ready to fire on my iphone to measure the calories, distance and time and all. Weigh in and don't berate self if I have put on. It was hormones and new year and all and considering the circumstances I did better than the MOI of old. I will be well prepared notes and all for my meeting with the psychologist and naturopath - both of whom I meet on Jan 10th. Meanwhile weight has come down to 121.2 - a small increase but ready for a weigh in on the 8th of Jan.
Goals for the week:
- Drink more water
- Move the booty 5 times a week for 50 mins
- No carb for dinner
- No sugar
