help!

i am in food crisis mode. i had stayed away from junk food and it's been slipping back in more and more and more. i threw up yesterday and today in the morning from eating way too much right before bed. the more i have the more i want. like joe girardi did with the yankees, no more junk food in the dugout, which equals my apartment. it makes me feel bad physically and mentally. "don't feed me junk food"

follow-up, finally

i finally went back to the naturopath / nutritionist. i am at the same ickky weight i was 2 months ago, but i feel better and i feel like my body shape is changing for the better even if no pounds are coming off. she said i looked healthy and that for my cravings / binges she recommended talking to karapist and psych for some guidance or she suggested maybe changing meds, which i don't want to do bc i am happy on mine, but i'll talk to them. my thyroid numbers were a bit high, but not so high she wanted me on medication or anything, she gave me the thyroid co-factor supplement again. and she said my blood was "perfect" - all cell counts good, enough iron and protein and whatever else, so i'm eating well, i got another overall supplement this time, i'm stoked to see how it works. and she professionally wrapped my pinky and wrist with real medical stuff bc of falling down. yeah.

off track trying to get back on

i had been avoiding 2 major things. but they are creeping back in. ice cream - which i've gotten a few times now and pizza - which i've now ordered twice. my excuses are that i fell and can't really walk or carry things back from the store. it hurts but it's not that bad. and the other excuse is that it's cold and windy. boo! let's get back on track and get good food and exercise. i should totally exerbike today. i think my hurt knees can handle it. and if not. i'll walk somewhere. boo-yeah.

ch-ch-changes

i feel like i've made some really positive changes in terms of nutrition and exercising. i've really cut down on junk food and snacking in general and i also exercise pretty much everyday.

i would like to work on not night snacking which inevitably ends up being junk food. or even worse, having a healthier snack like cottage cheese or cereal and still going out and getting the junk food bc the other stuff doesn't satisfy. this said to me, 'you're not hungry, you just want the comfort of good ol' junk food that hardly ever let's you down.'

i would also like to exercise more. i've been walking a lot and exerbiking, too. but the most like an hour or *maybe* an hour and a half a day. and i do work hard, but i want to sweat more bc sometimes i just get into a comfortable rhythm and forget to pump it!

pump, pump it up, pump up the jam!

night

so it seems the habit i'm having the worst time breaking is eating at night. and of course i don't want any of the healthy stuff i have at my house so i get combos and ice cream. grr. the one benefit is that i have to walk to get it. but not enough to balance out the badness. i was thinking on the way there that it's "easier" to give into the cravings. i just read an article about habits (link on this blog) and the first one is to not take too many changes on at the same time. i find i often do that and totally overwhelm myself. i need to think of my priorities, which eating healthy is definitely one of.

already bored

i just went shopping and i am already bored of the food i have. i guess bc i can't get a lot of things, just staples and mix things up. i do want to go to the other store to get other things. maybe that'll spice things up a bit in the food department. good thing is, all the food i have is healthy and i can't rationalize going out when i have food here. awesome.

deliziosa

i wish i hadn't discovered these delicious made right in front of you italian sodas for $1.75. mmmmmmmmmm. c-los, am prof and ecter and i went to this place before the movies. i wasn't going to get anything. then c-los ordered an almond italian soda. first the fountain tonic, then the flavor syrup, then a bit of 1/2&1/2 and all topped off with whip cream. mmmmmm. am prof got a macadamia one. then i got a caramel one. ecter got one, too. i felt like a kid, all 4 of us sitting at the table sipping delicious, worldly beverages. mmmmmm. no regrets, sometimes you have to make exceptions. this was a good one to make.

night cravings

man, i fought hard last night. but i went out and got a late night snack. pretzels with onion dip and raisinets. i wanted chips. and chocolate. good choices! *pats self on back* and, i didn't go right away. and i have a lot of pretzels and dip left and i had the rest of the raisinets today. and, i know i breaking loooooong habits so it's not gonna happen lickety split. that made me think of a banana split. i could have a banana, but no ice cream for me. today is grocery shopping and trying not to get too much bc i have to walk and carry it home from Trader Joe's day. YaY

back together

phew. i finally feel back to normal after being sick. yesterday and today i walked *a lot* and i might exerbike tonight or i might relax, which is important, too and do an hour in the morning.

i've been eating a good balance of foods, but i don't think nearly enough even though i don't feel hungry and i feel full if i have a small portion. i just want to make sure i am eating enough to have energy and do right for exercising.

i should call the naturopath / nutrionist tomorrow and make that follow-up appointment.

pretty well

i've been doing a'ight on the eating and exercise scene. i was really sick last week so i didn't do much of either. i am back in action today and so far have had coffee and oatmeal with soy. YaY!
