Day 314

So today i’m going to say that I had a successful day even though my eating was not good. Lets start with what went wrong in the eating category. So this morning was very stressful because Adjei and I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and neither one of us could go back to sleep. The day started poorly and my eating reflected it. I did good by choosing oatmeal for breakfast but then an hour later, I had the leftover white rice from the night before. Now comes the evening where I really screwed up. I was hungry but not really hungry. I only had one point left for the day so anytime I’m left with no points, I want to eat everything. Plus on Friday I feel this need to order pizza because it’s Friday and that’s what I do on Fridays. It’s funny because that’s what my family did growing up. We never went out to eat but we had pizza every Friday, almost like a reward for getting through the week. Well, I’ve carried on this tradition. Tonight I decided not to get pizza and I think I secretly resented that so I snacked a whopping 18 points on nada! Oh well, I’ll move on.

So here’s where my proud moment comes in. I was feeling really stressed and short tempered this morning and I knew the day was going to get worse if I didn’t change it. I decided to take Adjei to they gym and he stayed in the daycare while I ran three miles. I felt great and Adjei’s mood improved too. I’m really proud of this because I’m funny about changing my routine. This week, I completed three great workouts and they were all different from my regular routine. Tomorrow is my weigh in and I still think I will pull in a loss. I only tracked four days this week but I think I did pretty good. I’m thinking of going on a run with the running group I joined. I want to go because the thought of it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I haven’t gone yet because new groups make me uncomfortable. So we’ll see.
