I disagree with the idea that feminism can't exist inside of a marriage. True feminism is about standing up for human rights. How does the union of two lives contradict this philosophy?

Decided to go vegan for the rest of Vegetarian awareness month. Today's kickoff breakfast of fresh Ontario strawberries, rye with crunchy pb and a glass of almond milk. How lucky are we to still have delicious berries in October?!!!

The Plan - Revisited & Revamped

As I mentioned yesterday, I fell off the wagon for awhile, but I am looking to the future and back to making positive changes now! I've reworked the plan a bit. Seeing as I've already made drinking H2O a habit, I've swapped that out. I also shuffled a few things around as my objectives were based around my summer schedule; I've put goals in order of priority this time. I'd love some feedback from my fellow tmblrs. I am back to logging on my fitness pal, so please join me there or let me know how your shift is going! Days 1-10: Eliminate emotional eating Days 11-20: Limit caloric intake Days 21-30: 45-60 min cardio 6 days/week Days 31-40: Incorporate strength training 3 days per week Days 41-50: Get to bed by 10pm 6 nights/wk Days 51-60: Eat clean (no junk or fastfood) Days 61-70: Eat 70g protein per day Days 71-80: Don't eat after 7pm Days 81-90: Stretch 10 min/day Days 91-100: Learn how to incorporate occasional treats

Pregnancy, vacation and a death in the family proved to be too much for me to handle along with trying to conquer emotional eating habits that I've had for years. Anyway, I am happy to say I am back on track as of today! I completed one day in its entirety without falter!!! Will be posting again starting tomorrow and resuming my 100 Day Shift!!! When at first you don't suceed , try again!!! I am happy to report that the 10 days I spent building the habit of drinking 2L + of water & taking my multi-vitamins, have turned into a long-term habit!!!!! It's all about progress, not perfection!

Day 12: Identifying Triggers

Yesterday didn’t go very well for me.  I am 13 weeks pregnant and finding I am hungry ALL the time!  Also, I binged on junk.  What set me off was being hungry and then being in a social situation where friends were eating junk.

Some of the many reasons that we eat when we’re not hungry :

- boredom

- guilt

- anger

- anxiety

- celebration

- socially

- entertainment

- to please others

Day 11: Mini challenge #2 - Stop Emotional Eating

I think this might be the most difficult and most rewarding part of the whole 100 day shift for me, which is why I put it near the beginning of the plan.

I’ve struggled with an eating disorder my entire adult life and one of the main reasons I’ve taken on this endeavour is to finally get myself in recovery mode once and for all.

So, all my effort is going into this very special mini-challenge.

To maximize success, I commit to do the following:

- identify my emotional eating habits - create a list of activities to replace eating when the mood strikes - seek therapeutic help - reward myself daily for having a binge-free day - log my food to keep me accountable (add me on myfitnesspal as daravisconti if you want to take the challenge with me.)

Drinking warm water with 1/2 lemon for breakfast as part of my daily water intake. When I was researching the benefits of water I stumbled upon this tip. Upon further investigation, turns out livestrong and Jillian Michaels recommend it as well. Jillian's advice is reliably scientifically backed, so I figured it must be good for me! Tge benefits include: - kickstarting your GI tract for the day - loosening any har bits stuck in there - thus helping to detox the bod - alkalizing the body - vitamin C - boosting immune function - hydration (duh!)
