Confessions of a 40Something

Today’s Success Check list (27th September 2012)

I ate when I was hungry - Sort of

I ate what I really wanted - Yes got this bit nailed! Lol! ;)

I ate consciously -  only wore a blindfold at breakfast, sort of ate consciously for lunch & dinner

I stopped when full - I think so…

I drank water - now this bit of the system I’ve got sussed too!!

I moved my body - Yes over 10,000 steps today!

I listened to the CD - “The secrets of naturally Thin People” CD again tonight…

One positive thing I noticed today - even on days that I feel “unactive” I’m taking more than 10,000 steps :)

What I’m looking forward to tomorrow - it’s Friday!! (Also day 15 is check in day not day 14 so I get to weigh myself tomorrow & see…)

Day 14

Every 7 days I will take time out to reflect on how far I’ve come, re-focus on where it is I’m heading.

I’m 2 weeks into this brand new way of eating … so how does it feel? Exciting & liberating! Not having to calorie count or buy special (over-priced) food is really wonderful.

The best things that happened this week were: Child1 got 2 bronze medals in a local swimming gala & improved her PB times in all but her backstroke! :)

My biggest challenges this week were: still eating when I was hungry while at work & eating consciously

I did these things for the 1st time: continually took more than 10,000 steps a day!!

What I learned was: I am stronger than I think I am!

My top 3 priorities for the week ahead are:

1. Eat consciously!!!

2. Start my next assignment (Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools - Level 2)

3. Eat consciously!!
