I’m bored with food. 😒 Well, not really. Actually, I still love food…. I’ve been loving it too much again though. Haha!
It’s crazy how just a few weeks of enjoying your fave foods can make you lose your mind at the table and start packing them back on. I also haven’t weighed myself in 3 weeks – THAT is a problem. For me the scales is my accountability partner. I don’t think much has changed though, Clothes still fit and all. It’s just that the mind will tell you LIES, LIES, and MORE LIES all the while the pounds creep back on. The scales don’t lie.
Last month I went on a business trip for a week and ate out daily. I was able to minimize the food damage by skipping breakfast and doing exercises in my hotel room every evening. … but I felt so sluggish after sitting daily and eating such a wide variety of foods.
When I returned home my routine was busted! I’ve never really got back in the groove but I need to. I’ve tried, but going out with friends here and there is sabotaging my efforts. Sigh.
Looking back over the past few weeks I have figured out that a lot of my issue now is boredom with the food I’m eating. I’m not wanting the go-to salads and vegetables that I’ve been eating so much of for more than 2 years now. Nothing looks appealing except pizza, chicken wings, etc. 😂😂 I actually made a salad last week for dinner, took a few bites and tossed it all out. Just wasn’t appealing to me.
So, I am currently trying to think of new foods, and new ways to prepare them. If this is going to be a lifestyle change I need to really work hard to keep it fresh and satisfying, otherwise I will set myself up for failure.
Today was one of those days where I swear I had a tapeworm. I just felt hungry all day. Then it dawned on me that 1) I had not taken my vitamins in a couple of days, and 2) I’ve eaten much less protein this week. I could never be vegan etc. I don’t eat much meat at all but a little keeps hunter at bay for me.
I couldn’t decide what to eat … I didn’t want to thaw food and cook it. So I made a PB&J (natural peanut butter, strawberry All Fruit spread on toasted sprouted breads) with a glass of Almond milk. I didn’t measure, weigh, or count anything just made it and ate it. Then made another half….😣 😂 …not hungry anymore though.
When I started my journey to get healthy and lose weight I realized it really was going to be a journey with ups and downs, and ins and outs, and good days and not so good days. It’s all good. It’s life! Enjoy and learn from it all.
I’m thinking about expanding this blog a bit to include more about life and what we humans face while in these vessels. We’ll see. Until the next time…
Peace and Love to you! 😘💕
