Tip of the Day!

Learning when to eat and why you eat is an important part of losing weight. Paul McKenna makes so much since to me! And boy do I fit the emotional eater! I know I won't post this blog and get it right the first time, but knowing the difference is maybe a beginning for me to stop and think before I put my hand up to my mouth next time.

A tip from Paul McKenna:

Here are a couple of pointers to help you make a clear distinction every time you feel hungry:

1. Emotional hunger is sudden and urgent; physical hunger is gradual and patient

2. Emotional hunger cannot be satisfied with food; physical hunger can

If you are eating and eating and never feeling satisfied, it’s because you don’t need food –you need to change your feelings.

Walked 6 out of 7 Days!

This past week I walked 6 out of 7 days. I walked anywhere from 25-30 minutes. I knocked a total of 130 minutes off of my journey. The 25-30 don't sound like much but it had me sweating! This week I'm going to shoot for 30-40 minutes. I haven't weighed yet, I may do that next Monday just to see. But I'm not going to let a number on a scale define me anymore, I'm going by how I feel. I'm aiming for "I can walk and no longer gasp for air". I'll aim further once I reach my first goal.

Well I have a destination to walk to!

I started walking on the old dusty treadmill yesterday. One thing different this time... I have a somewhere to walk to! I looked up how long it would take to "walk" from my house to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and broke it down into minutes. I have a lot of walking to do to reach my goal! But I do have 25 minutes of my walk knocked out! I do believe this will require a new pair of shoes.

Day 1 - Not off to a good start - but still hopeful

Hey! I had trouble sleeping again last night so once again I wake up in the 11th hour and rush. That's when I make horrible choices for my breakfast & lunch. I've got to start getting more rest. How's your day going so far?

Searching for my knees!

Hey!
I've set up the blog! Now don't share this with anyone but us. And we'll be able to provide support and ideas with each other.
