I am glad to report that this week, I have been able to restore some equilibrium by prioritizing my sleep. In my previous post, I was getting up in the middle of the night to take my son to the bathroom. The lack of quality sleep may have affected my weight loss efforts.

Last week I was feeling tired, irritated, bloated, fat and a little sick. So, I make it my intention and goal to make SLEEP a priority for this week.
Sunday evening, I went over to my mom's house for Chinese New Year celebration. Like most times when I go to her house, I overate. Actually, I wasn't as bad as I used to eat, but I did get a stomachache. Thank goodness for the motivation.
All the way home in the car I felt a my stomach weak. It carried on into the next day, Monday. So, I just fasted until lunch time. Even then, I had only some veggie sticks, no hummus or other starches or fats.
A co-worker was very kind to make buttertarts for our group, so I decided to take a look at them. I wasn't going to eat them, but as I was looking, the more curious I was at how they would taste.
I took one for my last break of the day. It was so sweet (I rarely have such super sweet desserts)! But I had a remedy; I dipped my veggie sticks into it to balance out the sweetness!
I took another after work to enjoy with my raw veggie sticks. I so enjoyed sitting there and paying attention to the yumminess of the experience.
By suppertime, though, I felt better and had some bone broth.
Tuesday, I had a headache from the back of my neck and ociputal area. Ironically, I decided to buy a pastry from the European bakery. I ate it with my raw veggies. Then I did cortices (a BodyTalk technique) on myself. From there I started to feel better. In fact, by the time I got home, my headache was completely gone. After washing my hair, I felt much better.
Interestingly, all Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I kept going to the toilet releasing lots of liquid from my body. Actually, I felt that I was getting less bloated. The releasing of water and toxins continued throughout the week. Friday started with getting my period. What joy!
I ended the week by buying one more buttertart and eating it with my veggies... if that weren't enough, I took a sampling of pizza from the supermarket. It was not very tasty at all, but appreciative of the free sample.
Overall, I feel better this week. I feel that I am lighter and less bloated.
Next week I will talk about portion sizes - what is appropriate? How do you measure?
Thank you for joining me. Again if you have any comments, I would really love to hear from you!
Here's to the best version of yourself,
Kim
