For those of you following my blog, sorry for the lack of posts! I've been trying to keep as busy as possible to avoid the temptations of snacking and I have to say I think it's working! The busier I keep myself, the less I'm thinking about food or snacking or even the fact that I'm getting hungry. I used to count down the clock until lunchtime at work, and now it sneaks up on me! It's great to not have my life centered around food.
I haven't weighed myself this week, but I know I'm doing well. How? I went shopping with my sister for a bit on Saturday (I have to start preparing for my vacation!) and though I wasn't a size smaller (yet) my current size fit better than ever. It wasn't a guessing game of "is this a true to size or am I going to get depressed?" I even bought a pair of shorts! This may not sound all that surprising since I live in Florida, but believe me, it is. I have thicker legs; probably from a mixture of the excess weight mixed with the muscles from dancing up until I graduated high school. I'm not going to lie, they aren't as strong as they used to be, but they're still there; and kind of one thing I don't love about physique. Because of this self doubt, I've avoided wearing shorts alltogether. I've stuck to longer skirts, and capris since wearing jeans all summer is not really an option where I live. My sister convinced me to try them on and I was shocked that they fit! It definitely gave me a confidence boost for the rest of the day.
Back to keeping busy...
I've been doing a lot of work around the house lately; trying to clean it up. It's been taking awhile since my dog likes to get in the way and mess things up all over again. Between my tax return and saving money on not going out to eat (thanks Jenny Craig!) as much I've saved enough money to redo my kitchen! I've been wanting to do this since I moved in, and now I'll keep myself busy by emptying out and sorting through all of my kitchen "stuff". I have to call it stuff because I have no idea what's been pushed to the back of all of the cabinets. I've only been in this house for a year but it's already a mess. A few years ago, I worked at Williams Sonoma as a seasonal employee to save some money, but most importantly to "pimp out" my kitchen. I've always loved to cook so gadgets make me all sorts of excited. In those few months I worked there, I accumulated quite a bit and now have nowhere to put it all. I guess it's time for a cabinet clean out!
That's pretty much what's been keeping me busy; that and studying for finals this week. Hopefully between midterms and now I've curbed my appetite enough to avoid the temptations of snacking during my most vulnerable moments. Wish me luck!
