3pm: My body feels so exhausted today. I managed to get up early this morning but did a gentle yoga session instead of the intense ones I've done in the last 3 days. When I got up, my ass just ached from the strengthening moves so it was time to take it easy. After some hip stretches, my butt and hips felt loser and less sore. It's a good sign that the exercises are working me out...looking forward to slimmer hips and thighs!
Successes:
1) I made vegan carrot cake for the office. I did have a little more than intended but I feel ok with it. It's great cake and I'm comfortable having a bit every now and then as long as I do it consiously and enjoy every morsel.
2) Used a trick from a website
mindfuleating.org
. Time my eating so I take at least 25 minutes to eat my meal. I used this method during lunch and it helped me appreciate my meal (yummy spinach pesto on rigatoni) and avoid going for seconds.
I'm grateful for:
1) having all the kitchen essentials to make great food.
2) my husband making sure I have plenty of power in our solar system so I can get up before sunrise and do my yoga.
3) having co-workers who have joined me in eating more vegan foods.

4:17pm: Had a little too much sweets today. I typically can stick with a small piece of chocolate but then a co-worker brought biscotti and chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies and I wanted to try them. Well, I did but kept to one of each. By the time I finished the shortbread cookie, I got the sugar buzz again! It's more self-sabotage! Anyhow, as much as I enjoyed eating the cookies, it's best that I stay away. I've learned that I've become more picky on my sweets since I've gotten more sensitive to sweets. However, I still want to put more distance between my sweets eating episodes. I may have to go back to the naturally slender eating strategy so I can continue to remind myself of the aftermath of such sabotage.
Success:
1) Recognized that I've been eating out of boredom and anxiety this morning and need a new strategy to deal with that.
2) Managed to get out of bed a little earlier to do a full 40 min yoga session.
I'm grateful for:
1) Renee's help and guidance on IOWL.
2) all of you who comment on my journals.
3) feeling that I have choices in my life and know that I can create my reality.

8:16am: Got up a little earlier and did a pretty intense yoga routine for 40 min. I feel great. I feel a little more flexibility in my forward bend so that's progress. My current goal is to maintain doing the 40 min of yoga every morning at the same time. I sleep in on the weekends which I plan to stop since I think it's making my work week routine more difficult.

4:26pm - I drank one glass of wine too many last night. I think I'm going to hold off drinking for awhile especially since I need to be more frugal these days. I actually didn't weigh myself this morning since I'm giving the scale a break and concentrating on measurements. I think I need to increase my morning exercise by 15 minutes to start seeing results again. I will have to ease into this by 5 minutes/week since getting up earlier than 5:30 is challenging.
Success:
1) Made it into work even though very tired from the weekend.
2) Avoided the scale.
3) Great cholesterol reduction results - from 245 to 199!
I'm grateful for...
1) Having a relaxing job that gives me free time to really think about the tasks at hand.
2) Lots of sunshine that makes it easier to get out and get moving!
