"The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today." - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Today was and is weigh in day. I decided a month ago to weigh in every Friday morning, instead of all the time or another day. I am happy that the small changes that I have been making are still showing some results. I am down 7.9lbs since July 1.
Our temp has dropped. It made it nice for sleep but even though I love fall I am not ready to see the end of summer.

5% Challenge Update
I posted my weekly weigh in results today. I love that I am losing weight again. My plan is simple right now. I am only eating when I'm hungry, instead of by the clock. I stopped counting calories. I am eating slower and taking time to see how I feel and trying to learn to stop when I am satisfied and no longer need more food. I am also planning all my foods, even the ones that I have always tried to stop eating when I'm trying to lose weight. I am working at consistently getting at least 64OZ of water into myself. This weeks challenge was to stop the random eating. This has been a hard. I am getting better at only eating on plan but I still struggle with the small bites here and there.

What can I do to feel my emotions instead of eating them today?
I have never before now taken the time to think about making a plan to tackle my emotional eating. I know that I eat to deal with emotions all the time, I've always told myself that I need to stop it but I have never actually taken the time when no emotional to make a plan on what I will do instead. firstly, emotions are real and they come and go. I don't think that having one plan will fit all things that come up. So I am going to look at what I was feeling last night when I ate 3/4of the chocolate bar that I didn't need (does one ever need a chocolate bar??). I was watching TV with my hubby, he was eating a bar himself. My brain fixated on the fact that there was only 1 left after he ate his from our camping trip. I told myself that if I didn't eat it, I would miss out. Okay truth time. Yes someone else may have eaten that bar but let's be real, I could just go buy more, not like the store will stop selling them. I am not a kid anymore where we only got treats at special times of the year. I am a grown up woman who has the ability to buy them whenever I want. I need to remind myself that I will always be able to have snack/junk when I want it. there is a corner store open 24 hours less then 5 minutes of a walk from my home. I need to let go of this though process that I will miss out. By not eating the chocolate bar I will miss out the extra on my hips.....
