Transition Time, Sunday 2:30 edition

I'm transitioning from a productive-ish morning to feeling like I want to lay in my lawn chair and read a library book.  the sun came out but I  had planned on getting some indoor chores done ...

PLAN:  keep in mind priorities!  not having more coffee is  more important than doing anything more so when the Coffee Seeking part of my brain starts making promises about all the things I will do if I have more coffee I am NOT listening. I can wait until tomorrow to enjoy more coffee.

hypnosis CD - do the confidence one again, plan on having it done before 5 PM when the dogs get fed.  do I need to buy a new portable CD player so I can listen outside?

Food:  haven't really had lunch yet because I fear once I do, I will lose all ambition. this happens anytime I have a "heavy" lunch and when I'm not at work it's hard to stop with just a light lunch.  just had a 2nd protein drink and plan to eat cheese and an apple next as I am hungry.
supper can be as early as necessary.

that's all I got, what are you doing for any danger time you have?

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Today I am being more MINDFUL of when I'm eating and WHY.  I tend to eat more on the weekends because I'm feet away from a kitchen.  

MOVEMENT:  Today I will watch the Celtics game.  INSTEAD of channel surfing during the commercials and Halftime I will pick up the items that have found their way on the floor of my bedroom.  I will also get together what I'm wearing to work tomorrow.  I will start ANOTHER decluter mission...the dining room table is calling my name.  I will continue to move during the course of the game.  All this movement should get my close to my 8,000 step goal BEFORE I take Billy Dee for his evening walk.

FOOD/WATER: While moving around the house I will fill up my water bottle and fini****  My goal set today was 64oz but I am going to raise it to 80oz which is 2 more water bottles.  I am going to put the remainder of my chicken, cheese, cauliflower casserole in my "portion" controled containers for during the week.  I've decided to NOT go over my friends house for Easter dinner as I know it'll just throw me off with portions.  It's OK that I do that because right now I have my GOAL to consider I am NOT depriving myself but CHOOSING to not go.

Ok it's Halftime now.  THANK you for posting this as it gave me a PLAN!!

good for you!

I've got an old fashioned case of the munchies, I am not hungry, I'm not craving carbs or salty or anything in particular, I'm not moody & wanted to cover it up, I am not even wanting to binge: I just feel like eating!

well, I'll eat again when I get HUNGRY and if that is tomorrow, I can do that.

oh, I can pack my lunch for tomorrow, that's a good idea.

 I went back to some prior posts and see that you've been doing these types of posts.  I really like it.  Is it something you are doing daily?  I really think I need to have more of a plan to deal with these life-long habits that got me fat in the first place.  I still find that when I walk into the kitchen, I will automatically get a small handful of something.  

Thanks for posting and I will join you on your next post.

I just started and it's kind of evolving as I go. I have always had more trouble in the evenings, or right after work, or (like today) midafternoon. so it's a way of figuring out WHY these times are a problem and making a plan ahead of time.

tomorrow I won't be home from work til maybe 6  or so, the post would come later, but feel free to start it yourself if you want.

anyone can start it and I'll just join in.  I was using Transition Time rather than Danger Zone but it doesn't matter.

I think the worst thing is my day has always been divided up into productive time and time sitting in front of the TV, eating.

that has to stop!
