I am very happy with the start of this 2weekchallenge, because I really need to get myself out there. I am struggling with stress and that is always not fun. I am not only eating not that healthy, but because what I what I eat I have pimples on my face.
How to change this? I cannot remove stress from my life. I know that. I wish I could, but instead of things getting better I feel they are getting worst. So I need to change how I am reacting to stress. My goal is to eat carrots when I am under stress. No chips or bread. Just carrots I am also carrying my bottle of water and refilling it often not only for hydration but to avoid eating. I drink coffee, but it is usually some of those high calorie drinks, so I am staying away from those too. Wish my luck. It sounds easier than it is, but I have to try my best. To all in the East Coast, I hope you are safe.

I want to congratulate the Mamavation Moms for their journey and their success with the weight loss. It does take a lot to make the changes and all of them really inspire the rest of us.
My week was very stressful at work. And stress makes it harder for me to keep in track. So I did started my planner and was doing good and by the end of the week when things got bad at work, I dropped the planner. I could not seriously concentrate. I practiced a lot of Taekwondo with my son to help me prepare for his Blue belt. That was awesome and I am going to workout with him to help him with flexibility. We also need to dance for his coordination so that should be fun. We started a bad cold yesterday. As I am writing this, my son is snuggling on the bed with me with a very stuffy nose and I had a bad sinus headache. The medicine and fluids are out and I see a day of light cleaning and resting today. The weather is changing to colder and that makes it harder for me to get out and walk. I am using the elliptical for cardio. Maybe that and the dancing will help me keep active. Until next week ladies... “This post is sponsored by Lilly’s Sweets and hosted by Mamavation – a community dedicated to obesity prevention & weight loss for women and I’m writing this to be entered into a giveaway” at the bottom of your post.” 
It was a very hard week for me. I have been really stressed out and that causes me to eat more than normal. I am hoping for having a better week.
I want to carry with me all the snacks that you have recommended, that way I stay away of the foods I should not be eating. I have also been so tired that I have not been as active as I should be. So, here it is my plan. I am going to make healthy foods and carry healthy snacks. I am also going to have water with me at all times, so I do not go to the store and get soda. I am going to make a big effort to walk every night. Also when possible I am going to add Zumba to my daily cardio. I have been away from twitter and facebook, but I need to get the time to find you girls and find your support as well. I think I am missing that support and communication with you girls. You inspire me to be healthier and to continue doing good. So I am making an effort to reach out to you more often. I am putting all my energy on myself because I need it! 
Emotional eating, that is one of my problems.
As much as I try sometimes to eat healthy, it is on those days, when I am really stressed out that I eat what I should not be eating and in amounts that are not even good for me. It is hard to admit it, sometimes I just do not even know how I was able to finish that bag of chips in such a short period of time, but I do. And I am not proud, I am really ashamed and I feel so bad about myself, than then again I feel depressed and I eat something else. And that is how the circle goes. I have tried yoga, meditation, you name it. And guess what? I am still an emotional eater. Lately life has been complicated. There have been too many things going on at once. Lots of work, pressure at work, money issues, and I can keep going, and going and I am sure I can justify my bad eating habits. I have to try to control myself. Writing this is not easy. I am being vulnerable, and I do not like it, but you know what, I need it. I need your comments, not only support ladies (or gentleman), I need the stop it, you know it is bad, do not do it again. I am so frustrated with myself right now. And the circle or emotional eating is not helping. I need to make big changes; I just do not know how to start. Any advice? I really some.... This post is sponsored by Beanitos and hosted by Mamavation – a community dedicated to obesity prevention &weight loss for women and I’m writing this to be entered into a giveaway It was a very busy week at work. Almost every day 9 to 10 hours at the office. I feel really tired and the housework has been piling up. I did however squeeze time for a nightly walk. And even thought I also worked during the weekend and I am today stuck here with lots of laundry and things to do, I am still going out for a walk
I also had fun and went out for concerts. Latin music concert means lots of dancing and jumping so that helped my exercise this week. I managed to drink a lot of water and I am very happy about that. Goals for the week are continue walking and exercise with some zumba at home and also continue with the water intake. Want to wish all the mamavation applicants good luck. |
