March right to it! (and BR catchup)

I went with Beth, Elizabeth and Bethany (feel like I should have a B E T H somewhere in my name now...how about JoBeth? or Bethanna? Bet-hanna?) to Bishop Nelson's father's funeral today.  It was so inspiring! I never met him, but learned so much about him from the thoughts that were shared.  Of course, Bishop's talk was my favorite.  (How can I be so blessed?  I have learned so much from Bishop Nelson, am so blessed to know and serve with him, and to love him and be loved by him.  The gospel is the most beautiful thing...it teaches us how to love our brothers and sisters).  But all of the talks and tributes were great, and Glen Nelson's bishop shared a thought that I loved and needed to hear:

"When he had a task to do, he marched right to it and got it done."

I haven't been that way with many things, including my thesis.  But I've been feeling the need to improve and be better, to make changes instead of excuses.  So right now, when I've got a little time before I go to the temple, I'm going to do some things that need doing...blog and journal catch-up!  So I'll include today's stats, and then write up the days that I didn't blog about, but wrote about while I was in Idaho at the Boone Reunion.

Today:

S: 9 hours (went to bed early and still needed more sleep, apparently)

W: 137/136.4

E: essentrics a/a

9:15 am Ate a cob of Susie's delicious corn, and an orange.  Wasn't super hungry, but was getting there.  Loved having that satisfied, but not to full feeling even afterwards.

1:20  banana, spring mix and spinach with a Susie tomato, chili, and a palta.  SO delicious.  A tiny bit on the full side after finishing, but just about right.  

CATCH UP:

7/30/12

W: 142.2 

S: 5.5

E: essentrics a/a

11:30 cantaloupe, pineapple, tomatoes, chips, salsa, guacamole

4:00 banana, walnuts

8:00 spring mix, beans, banana

Crazy day, but I ate well--not really getting hungry, but I ate @ Missy's, ate in the pm, and ate to combat a headache.

7/31/12

S: 8 hours

E: essentrics l/b

8:30 tortilla, potatoes, salsa...not really hungry.

2:15 2 bananas, walnuts, orange...sort of growly.

5:00 watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes...not really hungry.

So I've decided that I don't ever get really hungry on ETL-either that or I never wait long enough to really know!  Uncle Brent said "That's a low fat burrito!" to my breakfast this morning.  Uncle George said "Vegetarian today?" and I said "Yes." Some people have noticed, but no one has been negative.  

8/1/12

S: 9.5 hours

E: 2 hour hike, essentrics a/a

9:00 pancake, melon, potatoes, and ketchup

12:00 orange, banana, 3 granola bars

4:00 roll, pb, 2 bananas

5:00 green beans, salad, watermelon

6:00 trail mix

8:30 roll with pb, honey

Today was a binge day.  I ate when I wasn't hungry (not even remotely so) and when it wasn't mealtime.  If I give in to one thing (granola bars) I keep giving in.

On the plus side, tomorrow is a new day, and I exercised a lot!

8/2/12

A little better.

E: essentrics l/b

9 canned pears

12:30 banana, orange

5:00 greens, peppers, carrots, black beans, corn, Italian tomatoes, apple with pb, 2 rolls with pb and honey.

Once I say yes to something non-ETL, it's hard to say no, or hard to stop saying yes.  So I ate pb, but I didn't eat nearly as much overall as I did yesterday.  I wastn' going to do essentrics today, but when I did this evening, it felt SO good.  It just feels good to do.

8/3/12

E: meal prep/baby bouncing!

9:30 or 10 fruit soup....not really hungry, but not too full.

6 ish corn chips, lettuce, salsa, mixture of canned beans, tomatoes, etc.

Didn't ever get hungry, and I didn't exercise today, but I didn't eat nearly as much either!  Ind I sure didn't eat donuts and milk!  Bendiciones!
