It is the beginning of another 12 week journey at my gym. Last year's event saw me lose 5 kgs I wasn't expecting, so this year it's going to have to be a mental challenge. The goal is to keep away from emotional eating. Sure, I don't do it in its extreme form but it's still not a healthy habit.
The hardest part of the challenge is counting all the kilojules. Writing down what you eat is easy, doing it with scales and a calculator is monotonous at best. However, as the challenge progresses I can get away with guesses as I tend to eat similar things in similar amounts regularly.
I'm using My Fitness Pal app on my tablet as a kilojule counting measure, and so far it's good.
My daughter is not going to make it easy as she constantly pulls me away from the computer when I want to enter foods into the app! Currently she's going through a phase that involves changing her nap time daily. But at least she has a nap or two still! Lord knows what I'll do when she won't have one anymore. I might reevaluate the whole child care centre option then- find out what flexible options they offer. I'm not sure if they do half days and cool things like that.
I don't want to stuff up the toilet training though, so perhaps child care visits will have to wait till after the toilet is mastered.
It's a perfect morning...SBS Chill are playing Enigma and I have a coffee and a few moments of peace...or not. Maybe time to go for a bike ride?
