Eating:
I'm still doing well with the eating. I have noticed over the last few weeks that I'm no longer using food to deal with stressful situations. In fact, it is the opposite! Instead of overeating, I'm doing other things and not even thinking about food. There may still be instances with occasional overeating but I feel it is normal now and not the problem it used to be.

Weight Loss:
Lost another lb and 2" last week so the slow and steady pace continues....

I have finally learned to let go of all the silly stuff regarding work. I had been doing well for the past few months but still had not reached the point where I could let go and just let things be. The odd little thing would get me worked up or I would allow someone to pull me into their drama.

I just completed today's workout: Cathe's Low Max. It's 70 minutes of step aerobics - 7 step combos with 7 intensity blasts. It is tough! When I first started, I could do the step combos with breaks but couldn't complete...

Eating
My eating during the week is pretty good but I still have to watch the overeating on weekends. I'm guessing it is the lack of structure and sometimes boredom on weekends that has me munching more than usual. This past weekend was better so I just have to be more aware of it. I also still have to work on planning my meals but I have a bunch of new vegan/vegetarian cookbooks and am excited to try a bunch of new recipes. So I will be doing some planning this weekend. And I have...
