I think that grumpiness is just standard operating procedure while changing your diet. At least, I hope so cause I am a total mess! Totally irritable and annoying. I know it goes away, but man oh man. blech!
When I get grumpy I am letting myself eat something rather than nothing at all. I'll grab an apple or some cucumber or something else better than those stinkin' hershey kisses sitting in my cuboard (that's a whole 'nother post, for another day)
The good news!!
Weight loss: 8 pounds!!
Activity: Walking whenever I can. I also stood and went on my "toes" for 20 minutes during a basketball game. I looked like a dork going up and down, but at least I did something.
What a great idea! For three weeks I spent 3 hours in a chair at basketball. I don't know why I didn't think of standing and doing toe lifts. Next week I will join you in dorkiness. Maybe we will do "the wave" just so we have an excuse to do some squats.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'd probably really look dorky if I did it while timing though!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the 8 pounds, and saying no to kisses :)
Way to go on the weight loss my friend!!! You're well on your way! wahoo! And yes grumpiness can go hand in hand with changes in habit and diet. Hang in there. It gets better. Let me know how I can help!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the 8 pounds! Make sure you don't start to associate grumpiness with healthy snacks. Otherwise, you may not want to eat them when you're happy. :)
ReplyDeleteGood job! It is so easy to just sit way to get up and move.
ReplyDelete8 pounds! That is so amazing. I agree, I am grumpy when dieting too, but seeing that number move on the scale, always pushes me forward. Going to be at 8 helps me not be grumpy AND not eat stuff I shouldn't.
