I've been working out like... mad. I did 50 minutes of cardio today and then 30 minutes of The Firm Yoga. Darn, that was hard. But I know that sort of thing shows results!
That's 80 minutes - woohoo - although I did a lot of adapting the last half of the cardio since Olivia was on a quest to chase my shoelaces again. She sleeps less and less these days, that girl. I did take her on a walk outside for a while to see if a change of environment would tire her out.
Umm, my eating. It starts out well every day. Then along comes about 3pm and the binge urge begins. I've got a horrible issue with binging. I do it nearly every day. I see the time on the clock where I usually binge and I'll try to busy myself until the feeling passes. As soon as I slow down again, there it is. Waiting for me. I must get to the root of this. Problem is, the more exercise I do, the stronger the urge gets!! Well actually, the more I am hungry.
The urge gets stronger when I'm overwhelmed or bored or have too much to do and don't know where to start. I'll figure it out. Until then, I'm just trying to stay accountable of my binges.
I hope the scale budges at the end of this week. It's crazy to think it could possible still be the same, or so close.
Ohh, but an even better way to measure success. I opened up a bag of old clothes that I didnt wear. And I got into a Lane Bryant size 18 pair of jeans! Woohoo! They fit well, too! Granted, they are stretchy-kinda. But I was FORCING myself into super tight, breath restricting size 22s only earlier this year! Very cool.
