Thursday Coffee Talk

Good Thursday morning everyone.  Time to rise and shine.  A new day is here.  It's going to be a great one too.  Do you have a full plate today?  I know I do.  Many things to try to tie up today playing catch up from the last 2 weeks of wedding and honeymoon.  It is OK though.  Well worth it!

Our challenge today is to overcome head hunger.  Are you really hungry when you eat or are you eating out of habit or just because the food is there.  Our tool gives us the feeling of fullness and satisfaction, but our heads try to tell us otherwise.  Today, lets beat our heads/minds at their own games.  Let us NOT eat when we feel like it, but eat ONLY when it is time or when we are REALLY hungry.  Head hunger is a mind game.  I like mind games in that I love to beat them.  Let's beat this one today.  I know we can. STOP GRAZING and eat ONLY when we are TRULY hungry and need food!  Kicking it up a notch to stay on track!

So, who's up?  What cha sipping on this morning?  Me?  I am LOVING this Angel Mist coffee sent to me by my awesome and sweet friends Carmen and Mr. John.  This coffee has the sweetest and most smooth taste.  You'd love it, I'm sure.  Only thing missing is you. 

Lucy made it home safe and is trying to tie up a few things there.  I can't wait till her flight home Tuesday!  I miss this woman so badly!  Say a prayer for her.  She really needs it right now. 

Let's beat head hunger today!  Love to all!

Good Morning! I am enjoying Maxwell House this morning until my banana foster comes today!! lol My sweet friend Michele luv is coming over to help me today we need to dust this house out and she volunteered! I told her not too I'd let her..lol but I've got coffee and good friends Lord has blessed me so!! Awesome challenge today so funny..I got me a journal yesterday. During one of our OH roundtable meetings they said that a journal can help if you journal by writing it down you also see the stressers in life that cause you to eat even when your not hungry..and let me tell ya I've got stress right now..so I'm journaling and I'm going to get these last few pounds off and the pages will be kasting memories too of my time with my Grandmother so that will be a blessing bonus!! You have a great day my friend! I am praying for Lucy!

I hope you get all caught up soon...I was just off for ONE day and had a ton of stuff, I can't imagine what two week's worth of catching up would be like.  But with God on your side, he will see you thru!

You must have been thinking about me when you came up with today's challenge.  I have gotten into a really bad habit of grazing on baked cheese snacks.  I was telling myself it was almost all protein so it wasn't bad for me.  Sure I was getting in tons of protein, but was also getting in too many extra calories.  No wonder my scales have been at a stand still for going on three weeks now.  I am almost 8 months out and don't need to go sliding back into my old habits.  Thanks for the reminder that we need to make sure we are really hungry before eating and not just grazing for the sake of it, even if it's a healthy snack....to eat it in moderation.  I am now determined to get back on track and cut that bad snacking habit out. 

I only had a single shot of espresso this morning,  Been really busy and haven't been good with my water intake today so I need to tighten up there too and get to sippin'!
