Take Two!

Denise


Panda Log 08.18.2016

Hi, my name is Denise and I am an emotional eater. My biggest food offenders are sugar and pastries. My biggest emotional offenders are being tired or exhausted mentally and/or physically, both of these have been in my life for the last four weeks. I was feeling so strong in my journey since April 25th, it was a slow process but within a couple of weeks I was eating a clean diet and rocking a consistent workout daily. My last two weeks has slowly included cake balls, Panera bread, pastries, sub sandwiches, and everything carbs. Today I got back on my glutton free diet, I would have started yesterday but I had a half of a Firehouse Subs tuna sub left in my refrigerator and I was no way going to let that go to waste. I started my day with a good workout and it felt great!! I ate a clean diet and didn't turn to sugar once so that's a win!!! I had a set back that lasted a couple of weeks and it was a bad one for way to long but, I'm back on track. One thing that is very clear to me at this point that sugar is my enemy in so many ways and needs to be treated as a addiction. Nothing throws me off my game like sugar, I'm addicted and have to treat sugar like such. Is there meetings around the York area for this?

I weighed myself yesterday and am up 3 lbs., back to my trusty 203 weight that my body seems content with. I want to be out of the two hundreds in a bad way and that is my goal for the next two weeks, to at least get to 199.

We have been doing a lot of renovations in the last four weeks in preparation for a wedding at our home in October for our son and his fiance. I have faith that everything will get done and look absolutely amazing but my inner stress and anxiety alerts are going off in spite of it. Our daily day to day is non existent and forget about “quality time” together. Kev and I were lucky to squeeze in a walk last night with our pups and it was spectacular. Working full time jobs and then putting hours into projects is all consuming so I have to remind myself that it won't take forever to finish everything, that we will have years ahead to enjoy the fruits of our labor and that a beautiful wedding will take place with lasting memories for a lifetime.

As I stress and have gained weight, my husband has managed to completely transform his body! He's down 35 lbs and two pant sizes! I'm amazed by his dedication and am glad that I can report his success being that mine is not going so well. Lol.


So I'll ask this question and will be asking myself again on a daily basis…”have you moved today”~Driven.


Peace,

Panda
