UGGGGHHHHHH!

About last night....


Potato chips and candy are the devil!

I was at Walmart at the check out. I was aggravated with the line and some personal issues and in a vulnerable moment I grabbed a bag of Cheddar and Sour Cream chips along with a Dark Chocolate Kit Kat (Dark chocolate is better for you right?) Now...25 minutes later after I have consumed the chips and candy I feel like cacadoodoo! My heart rate is at 100bpm and I feel nauseous and out of breath. Basically...I'm dumping. You may be wondering why I blogged this. As I sit here suffering, I can clearly see how dumb this was. I was not hungry, I know better and to be completely honest I did not want this. This was my emotional response to stress and I did not do better in this moment. I wanted to write down EVERY emotion I am feeling right this second because the next time I feel a craving for chips and think that it's just a little snack I will vividly be reminded of this moment and how I feel right now. The twirly, sickening sensations in my stomach, my racing heartbeat which makes me fear heart attack (closet hypochondriac, I'm fine)  and disgust at the unnecessary calories that I am going to have to burn off later if I want to sleep peacefully. SEE...Ruffles and Kit Kats are not entitled to this much off my time and efforts to a healthy lifestyle. That workout could have went to burning off my healthy lunch. Crap on a cracker!

If I want to be successful at weight loss...

....Then I have to not only understand but actively seek to strengthen my body and my mind. I have the horrible habits of procrastination and self denial. I will put off what I need to do and then make up excuses as to why the my weight will not go down. I had to sit down with myself and really map out what I am doing wrong and where I have gone off track. So I am posting this to keep myself accountable for my behaviors. My first issue is - I have gotten so far of track with my exercise and fitness. I knew as I lost weight that I was going to have to up my intensity and frequency of exercise. I have not done that. Looking back, I realize that I became complacent about working out and I forgot the real reason that I was doing this. I do not want to be thin...I want to be fit, healthy and active. I signed up for Planet Fitness because it was inexpensive and I had planned on using their training classes. Unfortunately the one near me lost their fitness instructor so I stopped going. I h...

Getting Back on Track

It is the last ten days of February and not only have I gone off plan...I lost the trail completely. I have had a lot on my plate and a lot of change in my professional and personal life. I knew that I did not like change but I had not realized how much change makes me feel insecure in my abilities. In the past, when I have felt insecure, I have wallowed in my food addiction. In the midst of my binge, I am in control. That is what triggers me...that perceived loss of control. I am in challenging but rewarding classes but I am not as secure in my studies as I want to be. My job has changed a bit and I have been been challenged to branch out in my position and make new connection. This introvert does not enjoy meeting new people so I feel uncomfortable and insecure. This has caused me to realized that I am more of a control freak than I realized. If I do not feel in control of the direction my life is going, be it professional, personal or educational, than I feel insecure in my abilitie...
