Hey guys!

How was your week? I haven’t been much active but I’m taking it one step at a time, no hurry :) Tonight I’m feeling great, I think it might be because of vegan food I just ate. I haven’t been touching on any greens lately. It’s plain laziness of me. Veggies and fruits are wonderful stuffs!

Tonight I’m playing Star Ocean and Mass Effect. I’m a game nerd! I love drawing and creative arts.

Happy Weekend! :)

 

Hi everyone,

I hope you guys had a great weekend! I’m glad I went to Halloween party because I had fun! I couldn’t believe I even considered not to go to the party. A first reason was I wanted to hide, and the second was I didn’t have any cloth that fitted me. I’m tired most of the time. I don’t live an active lifestyle so I’m trying to change that and do more stuff. We all know what to do to lose the extra weight but it’s the emotional part that always sabotages our success. I’m still figuring things out… I’m going to start out really really small this time.

I and M. went out for dinner this evening. I look tired, don’t I?

These past months have been so relaxing, to not always thinking about weight loss. My weight is still about the same. I realized that putting too much effort on healthy eating is making me binge, so I’m going more with the flow now. I’ll exercise to reduce stress, tone, and stay strong, and not thinking about burning fat. It’s tricky because I do want to lose the excess weight, but on the other hand I’ve to stop thinking about it.

Making a plan and stick to it isn’t really me, because I like to be spontaneous. It’s just not about losing fat, but learning how to follow my heart. Do you remember the last time you actually follow your heart? I never did and I’m feeling like I’m dying inside a bit. When I’m in the struggle moment I shall remember that this journey is about following my heart and everything will fall in place in the end. I can either continue to load my body with lots of food or be happy with making the right choice and known that I truly follow my heart.

Last week went very well, not in term of pounds lost but in term of unhealthy habits such as binging and late night eating. I’m feeling very confidence right now that I’ll do well this week too. As far as the exercise goes I’m going to have to wait. If there’s nothing wrong don’t fix it, right? :)

 

I went to bed late and hungry yesterday so I woke up this morning with a headache. Maybe it was a withdrawal symptom from all the carbs I used to eat late at night. So my mood lifting food today were noodle soup, ice cream and a small McD’s French fries. I didn’t eat much and it did help me to feel better. I do really medicate myself with food! In this case it would probably be better if I took a pill for the headache.

Now that I see the pictures, it’s one too many mid meals.

 

Yesterday went great, no binging. This morning when I woke up I didn’t feel bloated, hurray! I’m feeling major discomfort right now, unsure if I’m hungry right now or what. But probably not hungry otherwise I wouldn’t ask myself that :) So earlier this evening I ate some ice cream to combat the feelings. It didn’t help and I guess it’s going to bed that would actually help.

My lunch was omelet, vegetables and jasmine rice. Dinner: Baltic herrings, egg, caviar with mashed potatoes.

Hey guys!
This week I’m back on track again. I’ve been dealing with cravings and binge eating and I think it’s because I don’t get enough protein or fat. I’m going to give up trying to be vegetarian for a while and go back to normal eating again. I’m going to take one thing at a time. First I need to deal with my weight loss and binge eating issue.

Today at lunch I had fish stew with potatoes and the dinner was pasta with prosciutto and fruit salad. I also had half a scoop of cappuccino ice cream. I think it’s important to feed the mind as well. For now I just want to monitor my progress without restricting and doing too much. Therefore I haven’t planned any exercise in my schedule either.

This week lesson: taste more, eat less. There are no taste buds in the stomach, so why do I hurry to swallow the food? I’m going to enjoy every bite I take without being afraid of getting fat.

YIKES! I was super busy last week and I let the whole thing slip. I ignored workouts and ate a lot and late in the evenings. But I’ll get back in the game this week.

I’ve been completely neglecting other areas of my life as well. I’m in need of a beauty makeover and fresh healthy food! My skin, my hair…one word, DULL!

The financial part is a mess. I let it slip too. But I’m taking control over this and would like to learn more about stocks.

Got to grab a cup of green tea to still my cravings, see ya! =)

Lots of Love,
Hsg

 

I’m not going to talk about loving your body, but love yourself when you’re doing “wrong” things such as indulging food too much or skipping the exercise when you know it’s important for your total wellness.

I would say I love myself when reaching for food I love, and I’m allowing myself to enjoy it too, but also love myself enough not to eat too much of it. If I ate too much I remind myself I made that choice and forgave myself. And the day I miss exercise I don’t beat myself up for it.

Loving yourself helps you to stay positive so that weight loss process is more “enjoyable”. Now I’ve more energy than ever to follow through my goal. Last year I was struggling with exercises and eating healthy. It was a very frustration year, and I beat myself up for nothing. But thanks to all my angels (readers) who helped me to get through the year.

Another thing is to believe in yourself. I caught myself for not doing that. I know I’ve ability to do it, but my behavior doesn’t reflect it. When I step on the scale, and I know I ate too much the night before, automatically I would be thinking “I’m gaining weight”. Now I tell a different story to myself “I’m losing weight.” If I gain, whatever, I don’t have to dig up reasons for why the number is up. From the book, The Physicist’s Guide To Weight Loss, author Mark Buesing wrote

Everyday you lose weight is the day you didn’t gain weight.

What can be truer?

Laugh is healthy too. Watch comedian, Louis CK talk about being fat, chaos and habits. Warning! Explicit language and a lot of cursing!

Hey ladies and gents! How was your week? It’s been a while since I checked my mail…procrastination, I know, got to be better at that. I want to say thank you for all the supportive mails I got, appreciate that very much! So sorry I haven’t written back to you guys. I’ve to organize my mailbox better.

My week was awesome; so much positive is happening! My monthly period symptom is alleviated, less pains and cramps. My weight is usually up more than a pound during my T.O.M week but not this time. Now I don’t have to spend several weeks trying to “undo last week”. I’m moving forward and let’s see if I can do much better than last month.
