A Huge NSV for Me
Oct 02, 2011
So yesterday was a hard day. We had to give up a dog we rescued - he is well loved and integrated himself into our family but he has behavioural and emotional issues (don't we all) that can't be addressed by our busy schedule. I wish it was a schedule we could adjust but we can't. It is work. Work pays the bills and it especially pays the mortgage. But i digress - I am an emotional eater. Last night I wanted to rip into the chips and Halloween candy. And the cheese. I wanted cheese like I never wanted cheese before. I opened the fridge. I opened the fridge and I looked at it - all orange and then I pictured it taunting me. Make a grilled cheese. Oh why don't you just cut off a slice. EAT ME SEYMOUR. I mean this cheese was pretty relentless. I closed the door. Then I opened again grabbed a couple of strawberries and I went to my laptop and looked at success stories. I did not cave. I did not have the chips or the candy. Go Me!I am not saying that I am not going to treat myself - I will. But it will be planned and hopefully not a response to a situation. I want to lose this weight. I want to be healthy. I actually want to hike on the east coast trail. And between us all I have a secret desire to run the Telly 10. Right now I am only walking in 15 minute intervals. But I will before I am 40 start and finish the Telly 10. For now - I like to walk...slowly but I am walking! I try to do it twice a day so I can have my 30 minute of exercise each day.
That's it . Its Monday, its raining, it was an emotional weekend but I am happy. Because I worked through (did not eat through) my emotions and I walked! Happy Monday everyone.
