No Weigh November?!? I'm not sure how wide-spread it is, but my sons for the last few years have not shaved for the month of Nov, calling it No Shave November. I'm thinking of not weighing myself for the month and know there was a challenge here on FS not long ago to not get on the scale for a month. I'm curious, for any who have done that, if there was a benefit?
Not weighing myself for that long is a really scary thought. I'd been trying to only weigh once/week, but recently have been doing so much more often. And, I'm finding that my mood swings based on that number. Plus, I think, if the number is down, I allow myself to eat more, and when the number goes back up, I can over-restrict. So, should this ever-experimenting lab rat, give No Weigh November a try?!?
While staying curious yesterday didn't stop me from over-eating all day, I did realize that during the day, I really wanted to eat if I didn't keep busy and as what I was doing got boring or tedious. I worked much of the afternoon on my closet & made a huge dent in it, but needed regular breaks and it was a struggle to resist wanting to go eat instead. So, for tedious jobs, I may need to try doing them in smaller chunks breaking up the time with more pleasurable non-eating activities. Then last night after a nice dinner out with DH & DS, I wanted something sweet. It is a long-standing habit of mine to eat sweets after Sunday dinner... and I'm talking 30+ years worth. One of the ways I've managed my weight and sugar addiction on & off over the years was to restrict/abstain all week and enjoy sweet(s) on Sunday evening. So, that's still my work in progress... stay tuned.
Today my work in progress has been a HIIT workout class this morning and health coach appt this afternoon, plus housework in between, and possibly a pre-travel manicure -- I leave for Cincy on Thurs. But before I get farther into my day, I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And through this one day and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion, I'll pray, breathe, log, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of terrific you, my family & IRL friends, Mondays and the return to routine, knowing this is a journey and to enjoy the ride along the way rather than just focus on the destination, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love! xoxox
