EE and self improvement
So things have not been all rosy with the eats these days, but I feel so much better. Despite the lack of sun and the constant rain and dreariness I feel great today. Perhaps it is because I made it to the grocery store and back before it really started to rain again… I chose to walk to the store in the neighborhood rather then going to the big chain store. Made a nice salad for my lunch and I feel great!
So the recycling is consistent. I tried to consume less foods in plastics and cans (good in this area) but there were still plenty of plastics (hard plastics and bags). This is our life I guess. We can not all live on farms. It is good to be thinking fresh instead of cans anyways, but we do the best we can.
I know it is not easy to change a behavior but I am thinking that I want to start trying, really trying. Like I want to talk my fears and issues out instead of mindlessly avoiding through poor food choices. I found a different kind of a journal outline online and I want to work on the emotions. I do not know how some are just so awesome at achieving this, but I am going to give it my best and aim for improvement.
I am weighing in Monday JUST TO SEE where things are at. It has been awhile. Might as well face the music.
There you are Jennifer!! I’ve missed you bunches. Sorry about the dreary weather there. We’ve had some storms lately too “sigh” It seems the sun always shines when I’m talking to you
I’ll be thinking of you Monday at the weigh in….I’ve been avoiding the scales too. Maybe we’ll do a secret weigh in together…hehehehe!! Glad youfound a new way of journeling, you take care my sweet sweet Jennifer…Love ya!!!
it’s good that you chose to walk to the store
way to go
It’s darn hard to do whole foods these days with such busy lifestyles that life in general demands these days, so any efforts towards whole foods is good… in my opinion.
It’s weird that you mention emotions today Jennifer. I struggle with EE more now since I quit smoking, and I sure don’t want to replace one bad habit for another. Thus my emotions are flying all over the place lately, but I’m learning. Someone just asked me the other day if I avoid conflict or step up to it and speak my peace. I told them “I used to avoid conflict, then I quit smoking. Now people just avoid me.” LOL Seriously though, I think if we don’t work on the things that we stuff down, then we will never grow out of bad habits and addictions. It’s truly hard work. Exhausting sometimes, but necessary I think.
Special hugs to you for stepping up to the plate. Your thirst for more knowledge and growing in wisdom and understanding just astounds me. I admire that in you.
Huggggggggggggggggggs,

It is so hard to eat natural, I struggle with this too. I don’t think we can completely get away from it. But whatever we do to lessen it is great! Good job on the walk, too.
I think talking the issues out is the way to go, really, I know it always helps me.
Have a great one!
Hi Jen! Thanks for the blog. Found some new white teas on the net. Peach and blueberry. Sooo good in the afternoon. I am spinning to the local farmers market every Sat. morning and shopping with my cloth bag. All kinds of fresh greens, herbs, peppers etc. I am spoiled. Since reaching goal I am having a blue spell. Don’t even want to listen to Leonard. Need to fake that smile till I make that smile come back. Take care. Love, Marge
glad to hear the weather cleared a little as did the mood. a trip outside to the store sounds so lovely. your intentions around creating less waste, too! you are certainly walking on a path of self care, self attention, and responsibility to the planet. it is nice to see that lived out. you take care while the blues are around. they will leave. they do that - come and go.i keep getting reminded of that
big hugs for you !!
Thanks everyone
I had a great day with the activity, but did eat and stopped at 8PM….. Made such a nice supper for myself and then BAM….. mini binge. Blah!
Tomorrow is going to be another beautiful day. We are made anew every day.
Don’t get be afraid of the scale Jennifer. You work out every day and eat so healthy. Do you feel healthy? That’s the only thing that matters at the end of the day.
