I'm so very proud of myself this week. While my diet wasn't the healthiest, I managed to adhere to one of my challenges for the first time since I joined this site! I did 10 sit ups every day this week. The hardest part is jumping the mental barrier, and making myself do the sit ups. Because physically, I can do about 20 before I need to stop. Next week for the challenge I have to do 20 sit ups every day....and I'm ready for it. ^_^

My newest obsession? Matcha!!! And with this summer weather, I'm drinking lots of iced Lemon-Lime Kampai (Teavana) tea! ^_^
Also, still being carless for almost 2 months now has made me walk more. And this nice weather, I take my dogs for walks, I sit outside, I ride my bike (and subsequently flip over the handle bars!), and in general I'm in a wonderful buoyant mood. A happy Kara= a Kara who focuses more on her own health and fitness :3

Being sick for the past few days, dealing with a possible near future break up of a long term relationship, and walking at least 30 minutes per day has helped me shed a few pounds. Also, drinking lots of water and green tea as a dietary staple. Trying not to stress eat, because stress eating won't solve anything.

I've realized over the years that I have a habit of stress eating. Any type of stress triggers it, no matter how small the stressor. A bad day at work? Eat a cookie. Having difficult children in the classroom? Buy a pint of ice cream (cookie dough flavor, of course). I've also realized that I can limit my stress eating by not only noticing what triggers it, but also ignore the impulse to eat. If I'm going to eat emotionally, at the very least it should be fruits and veggies to satisfy the emotional craving, not just sweets.
I've realized that just as I stress eat when things go wrong, I stress eat when things go right. When something good happens, the opposite effect happens: I have a tendency to eat healthier for the day. For example, I made another sale on Etsy today. This is a huge achievement, since I've been in a creative rut for over 2 months now. By making another sale, I feel as though my creativity is appreciated by someone other than myself, and in turn, I feel better about myself mentally. Feeling good about myself mentally allows me the chance to make healthy choices about what I eat. After making the sale tonight, I sat down with a hot cup of spiced oolong tea and decided to pick up my pliers and rings and create another piece of jewelry to sell. I also won't be late night snacking later, either.
