So I count calories. I think it is what is helping me lose weight. If I start thinking about how many calories I used to eat everyday, I am amazed I hadn't gained more than I already had. Thinking that I would eat in one meal the same amount of calories I eat in an entire day (sometimes more). Crazy. I can't imagine doing that now. It makes me crazy to think I used to think that eating fast food all the time is okay and just eating because I am bored, or sad, or happy isn't okay. That there are other things that I can do other than just eat when I'm not hungry.
A second note, it is so hot. Like today it is literally 100 degrees outside. I can hardly believe it. I can't remember the last time it was this hot. I mean, its been hot before but this is crazy. I want to start getting out and walking to get some extra exercise. Luckily, next week its supposed to be in the 80s. That is a very welcome relief. I am losing at a pretty good rate - and I'm starting to see a difference so I think if I add in some extra exercise then I should see a bigger loss. But also, I would rather just do it to get some time outside and hopefully boost my energy a bit.
Malaise. The definition is "a vague or unfocused feeling of mental uneasiness, lethargy, or discomfort". That is what I have been feeling - I can't put my finger on it other than I feel like I lack direction in a bunch of different directions. It is making me anxious and I just worry about what I am going to do next all the time. Professionally, I am at a crossroads but I think I will figure it out. This week my goal is to start really looking for something meaningful. I have a general idea of what direction I want to go in, but I'm still trying to figure it out. I feel like things can change.
Clearly, I'm in a funk. But it hasn't effected my eating habits so I am just going to figure it out. So yea.
Stay cool.
