New Clothes

Funny to admit how much I was avoiding certain pairs of pants that were a bit snug. They fit again. Woo! Now I don’t need to go shopping because I have new clothes to wear 🙂 I’m sporting a pair of pants I haven’t worn in a year today. Since I don’t weigh myself, perhaps I do need to try on a pair of these dress pants once a week. My jeans stretch too much! What have a done to lose weight? Nothing!!! Just mindful eating and cutting back on desserts, handfuls of snacks from my pantry and alcohol.

I’ve got to be at work early today so I’m working out this afternoon. Good thing too because we have a house showing at 4:30 so I’ll be kicked out anyway!

Oats today were rockin’!! Coconutty!!!

The Mix

  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 2 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill Apple Cinnamon Hot Cereal 
  • 1/2 tbsp chia
  • Whole medium banana
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • Cinnamon, vanilla, pinch salt
  • Coconut
  • 1/2 tbsp flax
  • Coconut butter
  • Naturally Nutty Vanilla PB

The coconut butter melted away into frosting. Love that stuff!!

Say hello to my little friennnnds

Also love my grandmother’s antique spoons! I believe they need to be polished though 😳

IMG_8673 (640x427)

Cafe – still finishing off the Christmas Blend. Hurry up, spring is here!!!

IMG_8667 (640x427)

Da-da. Da-da. Is there a shark around!?

Morning News

Check out the World’s Biggest Bowl Of Oatmeal – 327.5 kg! Those Canadians have to keep warm somehow!

I’m all outta the chia + flax bundles, but Tina still has some left!

Also, last 24 hours to get the 15% off Kodiak cakes 🙂

    And I think trying on a well-fitting pair of pants once a week is a great way to judge if you’re in line! I don’t weigh myself either, and the other day I tried on a pair of pants that were VERY snug… could quite possibly be all the tastes (and bowfuls! lol) I have had during culinary school so far… but it reminds me I need to reel it in!!

    You are an inspiration Kath! I have been trying so hard lately to not weigh myself and go by how I feel and how my pants fit. This is how my grandmother has stayed the same size her entire life ..from high school and now she is well into her 70’s. It truly works! Delicious looking bowl of oats, as per usual 🙂 I really need to try some coconut butter.. I have been intrigued by the stuff for a few months now so I think it’s time to give it a whirl. Hope you have a fantastic day! xoxo

    Pants (that don’t stretch) are an excellent gauge of “weight”. I have a few pants I don’t wear because they are horribly out of fashion but I keep them for weight “check in’s”. Eating intuitively is just as important (or even more) than eating healthy when it comes to weight. It is all too easy too eat too much real food/healthy food but practicing intuitive eating is key.

    It seems that you are running more miles as well which could contribute to the weight loss. Watch that you don’t lose muscle.

    I’ve never seen coconut butter before? Gotta check that out and compare the nutrition to PB.
    Good oats. I’d like to see that big bowl of Canadian oats. Cool!

    Way to go!! Mindful eating is key! And, when I snack, I prefer healthy snacks. I feel better when I eat them, and they fill me up more! But, I find that when I am late or starving, I just grab a handful of whatever I can get my hands on in my pantry – so why even keep that stuff in the house, if i’d prefer healthy snacks to begin with?!?!?! I’d much rather keep a drawer full of fruit in the fridge! When I find that I am hungry for a snack, I always go to the fridge first to see if we have something healthy in there.

    That’s so great that those pants fit again!! I need to do the same thing. Moving in with a boy has lead to a tiny weight gain….. I need to cut out those extra random handfuls and I’ve also realized that my portion sizes at meals have gotten a lil bigger than they used to be….. need to cut back on that too! I don’t believe in weighing myself either, it’s all in how you feel.

    mindful eating is definitely the best lifestyle practice
    in terms of weight loss,
    though it takes practice for sure!
    there are some days where it feels impossible.
    it’s so great to be able to commit the mornings to
    a slow space of me-time where i can
    enjoy preparing and eating my breakfast
    exactly the way i like it,
    without any irritating distractions.
    just me and my daily sudoku,
    homemade latte and bliss-in-a-bowl!
    thanks for reminding us of the importance
    of mindfulness.

    RE. Running + weight loss: I have been taking a lot more [hard earned] rest days as well as eating snacks when I’m hungrier the days after long runs, so I wouldn’t attribute it all to more running. Perhaps a little running, but mostly changes in habits.

    I’m sure your greatly increased running (but not increased eating) has contributed to your weight loss. I’ve been wondering if you would increase your food intake to match your increased runs, since they burn so many calories.

      See my comment above re. running. I’m not going to go out for ice cream on long run days just to eat more calories. I’m sure it balances out in the few days after considering I take rest/yoga days after and often the day before too.

Seems you and I are around the same weight and height…how tall are you? I am always trying to lose the same 5 lbs. I would love to get to around 115. That is when I feel my best and most fit. I too LOVE oatmeal….but not to your level of changing it up. I think I will start now! Thanks for the awesome site!!

    Mindful eating is such a perfect place to be in life in my eyes. 🙂 I have been in a tough place for months now (am getting married in 4 months so I keep focusing too much on how I should feel or look in my dress) which is ultimately distracting me from eating well everyday (mindfully well that is) which is leading to over indulging simply because I want to do better tomorrow. Can anyone relate? I’m sure I’m not the only one. 🙂

    But whenever I can center myself on the choices I am making, how my body feels I make nothing but mindful choices. When restriction, deprivation or too much structure enters my life = FREAK OUTS! 🙂

    I love clothes as a guide. It lets me know when I need to watch it and when I’m doing it just right.

    Kath, your blog is really an inspiration! You have such a well-balanced life and healthy approach to eating. You remind me (three times a day) to really respect my body and listen to my hunger cues.

    It’s certainly not easy and I still have a ways to go but it’s nice to have your blog to come back to and remind me of what needs to be done 🙂

    I follow the same concept Kath. I tend to obsess over number too much. I pay attention to little things and it does work.

    It’s amazing how small changes (like not snacking- my downfall) can add up to big results! I just have to keep reminding myself of this as I head to the fridge 🙂

    Mmm, coconut-y oats. And mindful eating is one habit that everyone should try to learn!

    Wow, those oats look delicious like always. I had the same thing with losing a pant size and not knowing. A lot of mine as well was mineful eating and cutting back on alcohol. I also have added some more miles to my weekely activitiy.

    Kath,
    You were the person who introduced me to the concept of using your pants (instead of the scale) as a guide and moving a little more when they get tight instead of freaking and going on some sort of restricted diet. I really, REALLY have benefited from this. I haven’t weighed myself since last June and I feel like I have been SO much happier and healthier! When my pants get tighter, I add in a few more walks and seem to be fine (and sometimes it seem like my period was to blame, like you wrote about in your article recently.)

    Thanks for all the work you do on your blog! It really makes a difference!
    Sarah

    Kath, it is so exciting to read about your success with mindful eating! I definitely love the feeling of getting back into those snug pants. I hope you have fun shopping. You have a great body shape and have a variety of styles of clothes to choose from. I think V necks, blue shades, tight waistlines and subtle prints look best on you. Hope to see the fruits of your shopping in your blog.

    Those oats look yummy! I love the bowl/spoon combo.

    Is there a certain reason why you do not weigh yourself anymore? Is once a week not ok?

      Sure, it’s fine if you want to. Everyday is fine. But it was driving me crazy. And the numbers really don’t matter. All that does is how you feel.
