Since Wednesday the intuitive eating thing has sorta gone downhill quickly. Wednesday is my busiest day. I have 7 15-30 minute classes during the day and barely have time to stop for my scheduled lunch time. The whole premise behind the intuitive eating is to not eat at "scheduled" times, but to only eat when one is hungry and to actually take enough time to sit and enjoy the food while it is being eaten. This is a problem that I must solve in order to prevent a disastrous end of the week like this one. It's hard to plan to not plan and eat when hungry when that might not happen because you can't eat in the middle of a Kindergarten library class... (Mr. Wiggle wouldn't like you reading and eating at the same time -- I can't be a hypocrite in front of the Kindergarteners! LOL)
This next week, I hope to solve my Wednesday problems. I just felt so discouraged after Wednesday being a total failure and being STARVED that I ate just about everything in sight. And yes, I shouldn't have felt discouraged and just stopped completely. I tried picking back up, but I realized I needed to motivation of rereading the book, but yet again finding the time just wasn't there... yet. Today/tonight seems like a great opportunity to reread and refocus. I do feel like I was at least successfully maintaining the weight loss without starving while practicing the intuitive eating, but I need to be more focused on LOSING not just maintaining the loss at this point...
On another note, haven't walked since Tuesday of last week. Been feeling crappy still with sinus infection, taking antibiotics, etc... Just run down. 5K is in about 3 weeks, and I'm feeling negative about it. Not sure if I am really ready to do this right now. Doubts that I really shouldn't be feeling.
I type this as I am thinking about making no-bake Nutella cookies... found this great and AWESOMELY delicious blog post about these beauties. They have to be less calories than the regular boil/drop cookies with peanut butter in them, but I do need to figure the calories.
