I feel very... Free. Not tracking feels good in a way I didn't expect. I'm still keeping a mental note of portions and when I've eaten, but trying to listen to my hunger cues mainly!
I went out to brunch with Chris yesterday and ate till full, leaving half my food on the plate. I usually feel like I should eat everything on my plate (a mix of how I grew up, feeling like I'll never get more- strange depression era attitude!, and not wanting to waste money).
I got to the store early, stocked up on veggies like whoa! Also made a lovely mango salsa for the week:
Mix: 2 mangos, 2 avocados, 1/2 red onion, 1-2 tomatoes! Spices: black pepper, sea salt, Hungarian paprika, cumin and garlic powder. Mmmmm.
Lots of dog walks this weekend too- the weather is warming and I can FEEL spring coming!!
Also lots of coffee drinking and hanging out:
Going to a friend's house today to play board games and eat chili. I'm bringing a huge yummy salad :)
Did a strength workout yesterday- taking an extra walk today (a mile walk to our friend's- and a mile back :) ).
Feeling great!! Freedom and sunshine and confidence and feeling loved. Good things!!
Namaste <3
Awesome!!! You know, eating to a paleo template it is hard to overeat and you are doing really well. There's nothing wrong with tracking or course, but when it takes over your life it is very freeing to learn to trust the foods you at too.
ReplyDeleteSounds great!! I stopped tracking almost completely and my hunger cues are much more accurate due to the Paleoish food template.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Is there a big Moose on that blanket that Koda is laying on? If so, we have that banket too, and it's my go to, chillin' on the couch blanket...so soft and warm ;) So glad you are having a good weekend and feeling free! Enjoy that sunshine!
