If I plan on having a little bit of sweets every day, I think about sweets and crave it all day long. So I'm going to just cut them out - for awhile. Until I can get a handle on things. I may have them on Sunday, but I will make sure there are none left in our house for the week or I know it will be tempting for me.
I also make most of my mistakes in the afternoon so I'm going to rearrange my eating schedule. It will be as follows.
Morning - lemon water with cayenne pepper
8:00 Breakfast
11:30 Lunch (started off with veggies or salad)
1:30 Snack
3:30 Snack
5:30 Dinner
Only eat when it is time and eat sitting down. Food will be quality with lots of protein.
I will plan out my food every morning or evening.
So in review
Sweets on Sunady - Extras will be given away or packed away for kids.
Only eat when it is time. (Sleep in the afternoon if I have to.)
Sit down and eat slowly.
Plan out my food everyday and have a plan before the day begins. Go to the store if needed.
Write down when I do something great.

Sad MBA Weekend
My husaband has been applying to business school. It has been a long 4 months of study, essays and waiting. This Friday we found out from the last school that he did not get it. This is what he really wants to do. This is a great path to our future, but right now it is not an option. We are at a loss as to where to go next. I believe that a door will open, but right now we are seeing walls and doors locked tight. The future is hard to plan and to see. It is dark. I know that sometimes you have to step into the darkness before you see the light. That is what we are doing. We are researching, looking, asking questions to people. We are moving forward and praying.
So, once we found out the news, well, I gave myself a weekend long of "I can eat any thing I want" attitude. The truth is that I can always eat whatever I want. I can eat junk and I can eat lots of food without limits and self imposed "rules". I can choose that. The problem is that I CAN'T choose the outcome of such living. And the outcome showed on the scale today. I can rationalize all the reasons that it is okay to not eat the way I have planned, but the end result cannot be avoided. It is the law of nature. I need to remember that I can feel intitled to food. I can cope with food. But the end result will be disappointment. Next time I am sad, I hope that I can keep things in perspective and know that if I eat too much I will, in the end, become more sad than I was to begin with.
Once again, here are my goals.
Eat Slowly. Enjoy every bite. Sit down.
Read my response cards and reasons for why - every morning and night.
Eat a salad or vegetable before lunch and dinner.
Eat five times a day - no seconds.

Make Good Use of the Time You Have
"Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness."
- Jean de la Bruyere, 17th century French essayist
It is not a matter of having time; it is a matter of making time. It is about prioritizing. It is about spending time on things that matter most. My body matters to me. It is the home of my spirit. I'm taking the time to take care of it because as I improve my body, my spirit will have room to expand.

Sit Down
Today I'm going to add to my habit of writing everything I eat down at the first of the day.
New Habit:
ALWAYS sit down when I eat.
I know this will decrease the amount I eat. I often grab something, anything as I walk through our kitchen. This will make me work hard.
Yesterday we took treats to my son's kickball game. We had extra and I really wanted to eat it, not because I liked that particular treat, but because sometimes it feels really good to eat fat and sugar. I almost ate it and said it would be okay, but I corrected my self-talk and decided I can stick to my plan - no matter what. I'm so proud of that. I told myself that I could write it into my eating menu for today, but this morning I don't want it. I would rather spend those calories on something I really like.
