eat less. move more.

I am sitting outside in the sanctuary of a back yard my mom has created and I am enjoying a bit of pear cobbler that she just pulled out of the oven.

Yesterday was a day filled with sugar highs and crashes. My manager brought in candy because we all had to work on the fourth of July. Since I worked a double, I was eating candy all day. At the end of the night, I was crabby and achy from the abundance of sugar and the lack of water in my body.

Instead of taking a nap in between shifts, I did some homework, cleaned my clothes, hydrated like crazy, and did some yoga followed by some sit-ups. Hell Yeah!

A guy asked me for my number at work yesterday. I recognized the grocer from high school but could not tell you what his name is. I could be interested. Bottom line, it made me feel good. It made me feel like an attractive lady, and that does not happen very often.

Morning Munchies

I woke up around 7:45 this morning and got up with the intention of going right back to sleep. I went into the kitchen to see what time it was and ate two oreos.

Why? I wasn't hungry. This kind of still asleep eating is something that I have been doing a lot of since I have moved home. usually it happens in the middle of the night.

Do I need to be locked up in my room? Part of the reason I want to solve my food addiction is so I can sleep better. I'm sure it's hard on my body to rest when it is constantly digesting something and creating energy that won't be used, but stored.

Today marks July 1st. I am going to follow art/life project completely this month and in order to do that I should follow the food restriction: nothing with more then 10 ingredients listed on the package. I am going to add to that a water challenge for myself. I am going to drink 2000 ounces of water in July. If I drink 1984 that is 64 ounces for every day. I decided to up the atty and give myself extra hydration on days when I work out.

I am kind of excited about this no more then ten ingredients thing because that limits me to not very many things at the pepper. I may even have to bring my own stuff to snack on, which is not a bad idea.

I all of the sudden feel really motivated to get up and clean and do homework till my date with papa. Whooooo!
