    Paul McKenna The Friendly Mirror

     

    Paul McKenna The Friendly Mirror

    I somehow missed that there was two parts of "Your perfect body" so I completed the The Friendly Mirror just now.  It was strange but it felt good.

    I am not sure how I missed bloging this one but I completed this exercise some time ago.

    Update - Exercise and eating

     
     
    I got up a little later today but energy seemed good.
     
    Breakfast: One eggs omelette. precut chicken breast slice, 1/4 ounce cheese on toast 3/4 serving.
    Snack: 1/4 serving one eggs omelette. precut chicken breast slice, 1/4 ounce cheese on toast with tomato slice.
    Lunch: 1 slice pizza.
    Snack: 1 precut chicken slice, 1/4 ounce cheese, 3 grapes.
    Dinner: 4 ounce pork roast, rice, broccoli 
    (Cheat:None)
     
     
    For my intentional exercise I did the Yoga tape,  30 minutes on the stationary bike, walk to video store, 35 minutes Pilates. (Note: We had a Pilates tape and going to give it a try.  I am not sold on it because it seems just slow for me.  If Pilates does work out will try to a split resistance traing schedule.)
     
     Item for tomorrow: None at this point.
     
     
     

    Update - Exercise and Eating

     
     
    The morning was better today, I switched my medication to p.m. so I could eat first thing in the am.  I seem to fill up on very little food.  I hope I am doing this right.
     
    Breakfast: I had 1/4 portion of oatmeal, 1/2 slice of precut cooked chicken, 1/4 oz of cheese.
    Snack: 1/4 Slice of Pizza, 1/2 slice of precut cooked chicken, 1/4 oz of cheese.
    Lunch: 1/2 Tomato Sandwich
    Snack: 1/2 Tomato Sandwich
    Dinner: 1 1/4 Slice of pizza.
    (Cheat: handful of chips. Tongue out, little cheese)
     
     
    For my intentional exercise I did the Yoga tape again and 20 minutes on the stationary bike and resistance training. Item for tomorrow: I am still have a procrastination problem when it come to exercising I must go over the video on this item again from Paul's site.
     
    My energy came and went today.  Hopefully things will stabilize.
     
    I am still up but it is very late and I am hungry.  I took my medication so I think I will just go to be and eat in the am.

    Update - Exercise and Eating

    I found in the mornings I need food to get going (more then I thought).  I have to take a med that required empty stomach so I have to wait an hour before I eat.  It seems to be a problems so I switched the med to before I go to bed (2 hours without eating before med). 
     
    I ate 4 times today breakfast (2 eggs, toast) I ate about 2/3, what was left of breakfast (brunch), late lunch/early dinner (very small plate of pasta), 1/2 slice or less of pizza.  It doesn't seem like enough food to me.  I am eating at times to make sure I get food and not always because I am hungry.  I think I know when I am hungry but I am still unsure.

    I did have a lot of energy in the a.m. but I got more as the day worn on.  I know it has to do with my sleeping patterns and I need to be able to eating something when I get up.

    Paul McKenna Your Perfect Body

     

    Paul McKenna Your Perfect Body

    For the first exercise I picked my mother. Angel

    For the second I choose a few chapters from when I was in my 20's. Smile

    Update - Exercise and Eating

    Eating went well today except for snack time late afternoon/early evening before dinner.  Only minor infraction.  Must work on this time of day.
    I had some problem today late afternoon/early evening before dinner.  I had some popcorn on the run (it wasn't very much).  It turned out to fill me up some I wasn't hungry at dinner time.  This led to a late dinner.
     
    I had a hard time deciding when I was hungry today.  I had a late breakfast and I didn't really feel any hungry all day.  I did eat some popcorn around 4pm but it wasn't much (maybe two hand-fulls).  I ate dinner but it was more of a time factor (it was getting late), I didn't really fell hungry but I wanted to "get it over with".  I had a  plate of pasta, it was about 1/3 of what I would normally eat.  I could not really tell if I was full.  I think I ate past the full signal because I didn't want to throw out food (there was a 4 or 5 fork full left.)  Something else I have to work on. Tongue out
     
    For my intentional exercise I tried a Yoga tape (15 minutes) it was kind of strange.  I am having slight neck pain so I wanted to do stretching.  I also did the resistance training workout and 20 minutes on the stationary bike.  I do want to monitor the amount of exercise I do, so I don't burn myself out.  I am still have a procrastination problem when it come to exercising.
     
    I do have a lot of energy buy I have to channel it better.

    Paul McKenna The Craving Buster

     

    I did the Paul McKenna The Craving Buster video from the site.  My favorite food was hotdogs and the objection food was some oily badly cooked fish from a trip south.

    I think I will do the video a couple more times but Paul technique did make me feel bad. (sick).

    I my intentional exercise was 40 minutes stationary bicycling.   I did everything I could to procrastinate on this item.  Consciously I wanted to do exercise and I enjoyed it when I did it. The reason for the procrastination seems to be deeper.
     
    I already seem to have more energy and feel better about myself.

    Paul McKenna Overcome emotional eating

     

    Paul McKenna Overcome emotional eating

    I tapped out some bad emotions but there is more work to do here.

    Paul McKenna 4 Golden Rules

     

    Paul McKenna 4 Golden Rules

    Very simple - must revisit until it become 2nd nature.

    So Far

     

    I have watched Paul's first 2 shows and did followed what he said.

    The first day I ate a lot less and I did not feel hungry.

    I did not get to use the exercise bicycle yet.  I had to rearrange the basement and recharge batteries for the unit.

    I did go to the Toronto Zoo with my daughter for exercise. 

    I will enter areas I have completed on Paul's site.

    The Plan

     

    To follow Paul McKenna's ideas.

    In addition I want to do intentional exercise every day for at least 40 minutes.

    I want to do 40 minutes cardio  per day (Starting with exercise bicycle in the basement.)

    I also have a restance training machine.  I would like to start a light resistance training workout 3 times a week.

    Starting Weight at 241.5 and 27% body fat

     

    My first blog - bear with me. Angel

    Started to watch "I can make you thin".

    Some of the ideas that have been helpful so far are "thoughtful eating" and emotional eating techniques "pressure point tapping"

    I am looking to get to 18% body fat and 160-170lb to start.
