Back from a walk #'s up not down. G-r-r.
Rant in j & c thread I will spare you that.
Did another walk this evening.
Weighed in this morning (after a great day yesterday - lots of movement, too much sugar but well within the calories allotted me for the day) and was pleasantly surprised at a slight loss.
The next three days will be a challenge. I wasn't expecting to have to empty the house so quickly. With the only rental truck available Monday, I have 2 days to get the remainder of the house contents packed up. Or at least the large items that require a truck (although it would be best to do as much in one load instead of the 40 mile round trip over and over again.)
I'm noticing stress eating slipping in (plus I have dd's party this afternoon.) There is no food at the house and no places to get healthy food in the village or even the next village over so I have to plan my meals and snacks carefully.
I notice is that I want to eat all the time I'm out there, perhaps trying to fill my emotional self to off-set the empty and echoing house. On a conscious level, I'm not sad about leaving the house and its memories, probably because the apartment feels like home and the kids are living in town so I see them lots. On a subconscious level, who knows what is going on. I'll be glad when this is all over (October 9.)
I've been eating out of control this week from stress (getting the house and food party ready) and then yesterday, having good food left in the house. Dh took probably 2/3 of a cake that was left with us to work yesterday, but there is still good cheese, macaroni & cheese, kugel, brisket and mandel bread here. I was establishing the habit of weighing myself and recording my weight (new scales that register to .2/lb) but failed to write it down on Thursday and failed to weigh at all first thing yesterday.
Now that the holiday entertaining is over, I won't be as distracted.
Yom Kippur is a fast, altho there's lots of food when it's over!
In the book I'm reading (Drop Dead Healthy) he and his wife tried a 3 day juice fast and ordered all the specialty pre-mixed juices. She lasted 9 hours (including cheating at least once) but quit because she was so angry with the kids because of hunger. Yet she can do the Yom Kippur fast no problem!
Made my healthy lunch and packed extra seltzer for myself to drink at dd's. Will pick up a case of soda water for this week so I don't have to carry the soda stream bottles when out at the house. Also some single serving packages of salty snacks. Then, if I break down, at least it is with healthy stuff. Need to hit a store tonight before bedtime as the easy, healthy snack food here is almost all gone.
