This week I lost 1/2 inch off my waist. I gained .2 lbs. Not bad, I'll take the shrinkage over the loss any day. I have been trying to track what I consume. I discovered that when you are photographing a wedding, drinking whatever you can just to stay hydrated, grabbing whatever you can to keep your blood sugar level, it is hard to make a note of things or remember what you ate. I instead tried to choose wisely. I only ate half a piece of cake. Quite an accomplishment.
I noticed that I have a tendency to eat too little early in the day, blow off lunch and then consume all of my calories for the day between 6 and 11 pm. I will try to change that this week. Not going so well thus far. I also find that when I am stressed I want junk food, nothing else, so I will eat nothing rather than making a healthy choice. What is up with that?
The good news is that the feeling of junk food withdrawal is passing. My blood sugar levels seem to be keeping more stable, which means I don't have the urge to destroy Tokyo if I miss a meal. I still feel the need for a new coping mechanism. I hate exercise, don't smoke, don't drink. What do you (besides eating) to cope with stress?
sew, paint, play games with friends, talk with hubby... ;0)
