DAY 3 of The 100 by Jorge Cruise:
Before ending DAY 2 I logged in what I would be having for breakfast when I woke up hungry. However, I wasn't hungry when I woke up so instead of eating breakfast I decided to move it to the lunch category.And the remainder of the morning I spent researching information for my notes from the previous day. Not finding anything outside of what I was already thinking:that the foods containing carbs which Jorge puts in his "freebie" lists are so small in the amount of carbs they contain that when eaten they don't spike our insulin level to the point of harm. But just *thinking* that *could* be the reason wasnt good enough for me. IF this is what I plan on doing for life I need to *understand* the reasons involved in order to create my own meals & not just keep repeating the menu in his book. SOOO,I went to his web site & posted my questions there.
Lunch time came & before I could fix it,so did extra things on my to-do list,needless to say,again this meal was pushed back, this time to dinner.
My whole afternoon was taken up & I wouldn't be free again until 4:30 or 5. In between things I grabbed nachos to eat as I remembered the right amount of cheese,salsa & sour cream were considered freebies so only the chips would count toward my sugar calories...Carbs=12 X 2bags= 24,24 X 4= 96...wow :( good thing my dinner is considered 0...I grabbed water & lemon & that was lunch.
My afternoon didn't end near the time it was suppose to & when I arrived home my hubby gave me a smile,kissed me & informed me I had "20 minutes, Babe"....I voiced I hadn't fed FIL & hubby said "I gave him half a Subway sandwich"...my turn to smile & kiss him :D
I dashed to change clothes & head back out the door for what would be another 3 hrs.
After our meeting my hubby said he was hungry,I was too. We told each other about our day as we headed to Logans Roadhouse.At this point,I didn't care...I was hungry!
Sitting into an out of the way booth(awww,my hubby got another smile from me)& looking at the menu I began to relax. With that relaxation came my sanity & I cared once again about the food that was going to pass my lips. I ordered a new item:Brewsky Onion Chicken, that apparently isn't on their on-line menu yet because I couldnt find it when I went to add it to my food diary.So in the food entry it says I had Mesquite Grilled Chicken when I actually had a grilled Chicken & onions caramelized in Amber Bock with a side salad & steamed broccoli....& slap my hand I had 3 rolls! Add lemon water & that was my day. Today(Wednesday) will be better.
Oh yeah,scale was up this morning.Haven't heard anything from Jorge or his people yet,so I sent out some feelers among friends to get their ideas.
Gotta run again....

I think it is so good that you are honing in on your true feelings am I hungry or not? I think this may be one of the strategies of this woe ...eat only when you are hungry. Ultimately you will end up eating to feed real hunger and not the emotional one. :)
I hope you get a reply from jorge soon.

All of this awareness is what leads to success. It's not that you ate nachos.. it's that you're aware of the points be them carbs, sugar or whatever, and how it all calculates into a healthy balance at the end of the day ... or even week. I find when I eat late at night (as I do every night) I'm not hungry until 2 or 3pm the next day ... coffee, tea and water is enough to sustain me without feeling hungry or weak. Bread at restaurants... deadly for me... I think they stir crack into them or something so I avoid them all together or have a bite at the end of my meal just to say 'I did' LOL. Hope you get your answers because this too is part of your awareness... not just following a standard one size fits all ((as I did, unsuccessfully my life up until now)) but really understanding the how and why and customizing it not only on your plate but in your head as well. Have a wonderful day, my friend.

Thanks,JENN...I do believe I have found my *true* hunger again & I agree with you,feeding the real hunger vs. the emotional one was a struggle at first but a stuggle I fought & won & *may* continue to fight, but I believe I will also continue to win the battle as long as I listen to & as you say, "hone in on my true feelings." It took awhile to get to this point but when the body is *truly* hungry it makes that known...I actually like it! Instead of being tied to a clock & it's hands dictating when I should eat I feel so much freer. It may sound weird,silly,strange or whatever to others who haven't experienced it but when my body makes known it's hungry it's similar to a beloved house pet that comes to greet me,wanting my attention.:D And I actually do *touch* my stomach,in a circular motion,much like stroking it & as a beloved pet when it doesn't get the attention it wants right away,makes known it wants *more* than being petted,so does my stomach when it is true hunger...it's just one of the ways my body is *teaching* me *how* to love myawethinTICself better! :D

RIGHT ON BELLA...*awareness*! Without it *no* amount of success will be lasting. I so believe it *has* to start with our head & not just *knowing*, but having a *conscious awareness* of *accurate* knowledge.Because it *is* our *thinking* that ultimately *leads* us to what we do or don't do.THAT is how action follows thought. That is also *why* it can't be a one-size fits all solution,because not all people *think* alike :D Before there can be *real* application toward a solution, there *must* be real awareness & *understanding* of that awareness. Only then,as you allude to,can we have a balanced,happy & lasting way of life! :D It really is just this *simple*,as most truths are,however,WE make it harder than it has to be...but that's another topic :D
