My naturopath has asked me to keep a detailed food journal. I have to say, keeping a journal for her seriously makes me clean up my diet. I am not going to send her a food journal that is full of crap food that no one should be eating, let alone someone with food allergies! Summer has been a little hard on my diet. I'm a stress eater, and it's been stressful. As already blogged about! But time to get serious. Seriously.
Anyway, Lia suggested I use http://www.fitday.com/ to log my food. I checked it out and it's awesome! I am not only going to log my food, but also my activity. It's a great tool to use if you are looking for lose a few. And of course, as I have for my entire adult life, I am trying to lose a few. Or maybe more than a few. Whatever.
Part of my personal happiness project is taking a look at what's keeping me from being happy. If I spend 1/2 of my waking hours obsessing about my weight, how much weight I want to lose, how my clothes are fitting, whether outfits are making me look fat....anyone who knows me, knows the drill...how could I possibly be as happy as possible? Right, I can't be as happy as possible with all of that going on in my head, all of the time. I want to be happy. And right now, the biggest impediment to my happiness is how I feel about myself, my weight, and my body image. So time to get serious about changing it, not just for physical health, but for my mental/emotional health.
I'm happy to say, that no matter what's been going on, I have maintained my running schedule. While away over the weekend for lacrosse provinicials, Rick and I did our long run on the treadmills at the hotel. And it felt great! This morning's run, well, I did it, but it didn't feel all that great. Actually I felt like crap, but I did it anyway. It did feel good after I finished. I didn't felt very good while I was stretching afterwards either. No run tomorrow, so I'm going to take the dog for a long walk, followed up by a long yoga practice. I need to get in more yoga, as well as the running.
Hoping all of my Canadian friends are enjoying the last day of the Civic holiday weekend. It's a hot one, make sure to stay hydrated. Words to live by.
Namaste.
