10:51 AM You know the past couple of days seemed out of control. Perhaps I should say they were out of "my" control. I have mentioned before how much I like to have and follow a plan. It's hard for me to operate for an extended amount of time without a plan. But due to my husbands spontaneous (and somehow productive) nature I am operating without a plan...out of my control. In the past I would have used this as an excuse to let my eating be out of control too. Over the past 2 months I have proven to myself that this is simply not true! I can still be in control of my eating decisions. Taking that responsibility actually helps the overall feeling of being out of control. It's the one thing I can be in control of at all times.
This week looks pretty awesome! Nice neat organized days. I have a lot to work on each night at home as I need to clean (remember - no housekeeper) and get stuff ready for the garage sale each and every night! My two summer classes also start today! I purposely put my "class time" for later in the afternoon AFTER I take care of some pending/piling up work items. I will be eager to get to class time :-).
This morning I was out of bed by 6:20. Since this is my week to work 4 - 10 hour days I really really need to get up even earlier. I barely got ready in time, was a few minutes later to work than I wanted to be and I ate my 2 slices of turkey lunchmeat in the car with my coconut oil coffee. I can do better than this!
I brought my lunch of 2 small leftover burgers that I cooked yesterday along with grilled onions and mushrooms with mayo. I plan to eat and walk or walk and eat.
I am looking forward to this day and this week! I feel able today!
11:42 PM Well its a late post because my 2 summer online classes started today. I have just finished working on them. Almost 3 hours tonight. Normally when I do class work I am constantly snacking. Tonight I have not had the tiniest of a desire to snack. My habits kicked in when I sat down - my set up didn't feel complete as I didn't have a bag of chips or even something healthy like carrot sticks. I made sure I had a glass of water and moved forward.
Today has been a very productive day! Love it!
At lunch time I went on a 20 minute walk about and ate my lunch.
For dinner I cooked up some of the little diced steak pieces, made a large container of pico and cut up a half of an avocado. I put a nice amount of pico on my plate, topped that with my steak/onion mixture and topped that with pieces of avocado. YUM!
For and PCOS gals out there - today I am beginning my third cycle while on Whole30 and I had no distinguishable symptoms that it was time. I anticipate I will have minimal pain and a much reduced,,,how can you say this without being gross...output. My last one, which happened right around the day 30 mark was amazingly a non event! Like no ibuprofen, no ridiculously frequent changes, no day spent in bed...I felt better than a normal cycle gal does!
Life is good folks! I am not going back! I am embarrassed to post this but I want everyone to know how successful this is! I started Whole30 cramming myself into size 20 pants and comfortably putting myself in some 22's. About 3 weeks in I bought some size 18 shorts and 2 size 18 skorts. They are all loose on me now. Tonight I put on a pair of size 16 jeans - can I just tell you they are not the least bit "tight". I am not hungry. I feel great. I am not bored with what I am eating. It is like win win win win all over the place!
Off to bed friends! Sleep well!
