Awareness

Do you overcompensate when you get stressed. That seems like a normal reaction for many. I have been trying to make an effort to step away from the problem-clear my head a little. With the yoga, I have been taken, am even trying the deep breathing idea. We need to keep the joy in our life, and lessen the anxiety. Do not take on more work, or obsess about a project; a persons health and mental environment is more important. REFOCUS to let family and friends back into the picture.
With all the turmoil going around our renovation in my work enviroment, I am having a hard time keeping up with my goals. It is stressful and also keeps reminding me that I do not have my certain confident and partner anymore.
Time heals but memories are still here and loved ones are missed.

habits that might hurt weight loss

As we all know, humans have many bad habits of all kinds. I found this articles that talks weight loss and habits.
Eating on the run-take out nightmares. "One on every corner". Take your choice for the un healthy choice of your dreams
New choice..keep healthy snacks in your car. HAVE a busy week scheduled--prep some meals ahead and plan the night before.

Skipping workouts: YES all we do need to exercise somehow somewhere.
New choice, work on making some kind of exercise a priority.
set small goals and reward yourself

Mindless munching: One of my favorites. "Usually when I am upset". This starts even from childhood..and is very hard to stop, because in our minds it works to hep the PROBLEM.
Keep track of what you eat, when and why. Try to keep the food triggers out of your house.
Keep a goal in mind of not eating these foods and then reqard yourself at the end. Do something else with your hands, when you are watching TV or whenever the tiggeer hits.

Skimping on sleep: Watch a new mother and father of a newborn. This is what doing without sleep does to a person. Set up a routine
Turn TV or comp off
Trying reading, deep breathing, maybe journal.

This will not be an easy task to break any of these but it will be well worth the effort to make your life more enjoyable, and healthier.
