Kate's sort-of-log 11/22/2011

Had some crappy stuff happen today. Medical as well as my phone overheating, which I use to update this blog. I'm hoping to get back to picture blogging within a week or so.

For now..

I had 3 small cups of coffee
1 cup regular cheerios
1 banana
1 diet rockstar
1 piece of bread with a small amount of light egg salad on top
About 2/3 cup of a home-made potato concoction.

All my water.
Wish it would have been less fat and more balanced. Today it would have been so easy to eat for emotional reasons, but I kept it to a minimum. So, I'm going easy on myself.

Going to cook stuff for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Wish me luck keeping my hands to myself.

Crappy day for eating.
2 and a half cups of coffee that I forgot to take a picture of.




Not stoked about drinking the sugar free rockstar, but I was doing thanksgiving shopping and I went down the isle...oh well!


I had to use this picture because my son has his hands down his shorts in the back. MEN! Anyway, I had one faux hotdog and a few pretzels. My son ate the other half.

I'm on my 5th 16.9 oz water and hope to drink a couple more before bed
Going to eat better tomorrow.

I had a piece of toast this morning and 2 scrambled eggs with Baco's and a gas station coffee (not pictured)

Was busy and didn't eat lunch but had dressing and mashed potatoes for dinner. Yum!

1 cup multigrain cheerios. 1/4th cup milk. No banana today! I'm out!


I knew I had to eat something before I walked because I would get light headed. A smart dog (faux meat) and garbonzos made the cup. 1/4th cup of the garbonzos.




3 cups of coffee in the middle of the day.



About a cup of pasta.

+ 6-7 16.9 oz water bottles.

I'm not really into food today.

Not much to see here. Sunday's are weird.

Karen's weekly update

  This week I had a revelation!
  I have a therapist who's helping me through some big changes in my life. She gave me a mantra that really rang true for me;  I create my own reality and the point of power is now.  I've been saying it to myself everyday.  It just dawned on me one day that I'm creating my own reality with every bite I eat or don't eat, with every good choice or bad choice. The point of power IS NOW!!!

  Pulling into Taco Bell? That's the point of power to create my own reality.  Drive by?  I'm creating my reality. I'm full after only half the sandwich? How can I create the reality I want? Feed the other half to my dog!

  I know first hand how motivation comes and goes but this is big for me. I control my reality. It's not that I'm broke or stressed or people piss me off. Those things test my self discipline but I always have the final choice.

  If I can live in the moment, I can stay in control of my body, what it does, what goes into it!  If I decide to eat a cupcake I can love that cupcake, enjoy it, taste it. When I pick up the second one I can decide if eating another one will create the reality I want or am I subconsciously creating my big fat reality!
