Fitness journey #3

Obsession.

an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.

Since the goal is to not mindlessly eat anymore, I have to figure things out. Opting for healthier snack options helped in the beginning but now we are getting into the more difficult inroads of obesity. Why feel you need to fill your mouth when you get stressed? I'm still working on the answer to that question but in the meantime, I have developed some minor obsessions.

This is my new Fitbit. The other one didn't fit my wrist too well.

So this tells time and counts steps and watches my hear rate.

I confess to checking my steps a little too often and putting it in FIRST thing in the morning.

I even found I was carrying things in my right hand to leave my left one free to swing (and count steps).  

The last few days I've been a little less obsessed with how many steps it is from the bathroom and back.  I'll just stick to trying to move a little more than I was two months ago.

This little bugger.

Obviously it's a scale and I realized I was letting it control my emotions.

If it was noticing my water weight, I was sad.

If I had kept to my eating plan, it showed me a 'nice' number.

I now only visit this little friend every ten days to two weeks. 

We get along much better that way.

Along with logging my food which I've done for over 60 days in a row, 

I'm reading labels.

Some just simple stymy me.

1serving is one slice and 60 calories per serving.

2 slices is 130 calories?

Now, I'm not a math genius but something doesn't feel right!

Here's hoping today is the day that everything adds up for you!
