This work stress is driving me BONKERS!!
Here's how the last few days were:
Wednesday 4/7:
B- Kashi GoLean with skim; orange juice; Coffee
L- Subway: 12" RoastBeef on Honey oat with LOTS of veggies
D- Chinese
I did well with the portion control, so I didn't go too overboard.
Water: I did manage to get it in!
Exersice: Sadly, none.
Thursday 4/8:
B- Kashi GoLean with skim; coffee
L- Burger King
Tender Crisp sandwich, Onion Rings (Bad for me, yes. But DANG was it good. I promise not to repeat that one for a long, long while.)
D- Leftover Chinese food. Again, pretty good with the portion control.
Water: Nope, not even close to enough.
Exersice: Nope, didn't happen today either.
Friday 4/9 (so far):
B- coffee; Leftover Chinese food
(I know, I know, I know)
L- tiny cup of Steak and Ale soup; Spinich salad with less than a tbsp of dressing. (Woohoo, redemption)
Water- Working on it, I promise
Exersice: 3.5 miles walk/run planned for 2:00
UPDATE (3:00pm)
Water- Got my 10 glasses in, but I'm going to keep drinking as much as I feel I need it.
Exersice: 3.5 mile walk/run DONE! I took in the 30 minute range, I think. 31 laps around our indoor track, only 2 of which were walking. I really toughed out the last 10 or so laps-- I did NOT want to have to take a third walk break. I feel VERY good right now!!!
I was lying awake in bed last night and realized that I really do eat worse when I get stressed. It's not like there aren't more healthful choices at BK or the Chinese place. I eat poorly because I think it will make me feel better. Bigtime lightbulb moment there. Eating unhealthfully makes me feel WORSE in reality because it doesn't support my goal. Eating healthful WOULD make me feel better since I'm doing something good for me in a time of stress. (Sorry to those of you who've had this breakthrough already-- it's new to me!)
Mom... Sorry, I mean Doe!- Thanks once again for the support. It really means a lot. I realize that this journal is a place where, if I DO fall off the wagon a little, there will be a lot of folks there to pick me up and set me straight again. I need to remember that more.
Goal for the weekend: Eat right and exersice! AS well as get all that water in! I've got to weigh in Monday and I want to do well!
WISH me luck!
