EXERCISE: None to speak of today. I thought about doing my 15 minutes on the bike before leaving to my meeting, but I usually sweat for an hour after I bike, and I really wasn’t feeling like sweating through my meeting. However, I was highly active today, up and down the stairs multiple times doing laundry, plus making herbal syrups for snow cones for dessert tomorrow.
DIET: Breakfast was one diet today. Then I made brown rice pasta topped with on diet marinara, then topped that with non-dairy mozzarella. So far so good. Then, when it came out of the microwave, I drizzled olive oil over the whole plate and topped it off with nutritional yeast. Oils are off diet. I also made a green smoothie again. I have the second half of it up here in the bedroom with me. I’m going to try and drink it up instead of snacking on fruit and nut butter.
ACCOUNTABILITY: I had a good conversation with my sponsor about my difficulties staying on diet. Suggested is to pray every day, inviting my Higher Power in to my efforts to lose weight. And to make an on-diet frozen dessert for myself. I plan to make the chocolate mousse with tofu and then freeze it. I couldn’t find an Overeaters Anonymous prayer that I liked so I purchased Food for Thought, a daily reader for overeaters by Hazleton, which I can read when I do my meditation and prayer in the evenings.
