To back up a little – Tuesday, like Monday, was pretty uneventful! Just working + packing + walking 5.5 miles – not bad! I ended up at 1,672 calories, 229 carbs and 33 fat grams – a good day! Here’s what I ate. Yes, I caved in the break room and had a mini brownie bite. Then I went back for another one. It’s like as SOON as stress hits I want chocolate or candy. Well, really, I want a cigarette, but I don’t want to pick that up again so….chocolate and sweets it is. I just feel like there has to be a better way!!!Yesterday was a pretty good day! Stacy couldn’t walk – boo – but I did get in 4 miles at lunch (walked in the gym in my building so I could walk longer; usually we drive to our parent company’s gym because there’s more treadmills). Work was good – got done what I needed to get done and got oughta there! After work I headed to the gym for another 2 miles and chest/tris but I didn’t feel good again – so I left before my strength training.
Had to go to the store for a few things… and I did the ultimate stress eat – I bought 4 airheads and ate them – like in the car on the way home (the car ride is maybe 5 minutes from the store with traffic – under a mile). Haha I just caved and had gotten myself all worked up and stressed. I must admit – the airheads were YUMMY! I just have to get a hold on this rando stress eating – I don’t think it’s healthy (not what I eat; but the fact that I resort to that sometimes when I’m worked up). Other than that – me and Austin made greek feta chicken and I fell asleep. Like on the couch at 7:30 p.m. I think my lack of sleep is catching up with me. I woke up about 30 minutes later – a little groggy – but helped finish packing until 11 (again) – boo. We got lots done though and I went straight to bed and got a GREAT night’s sleep – woo! I ended up CRAZY high on carbs (hello, airheads and late night cereal!) at 1,889 calories, 309 carbs and 20 fat grams. Here’s what I ate. Oh – and when I put this in my Spark People and clicked the ‘I’m done entering food, please give me feedback’ it said and I quote, “Get a handle on emotional eating. It isn't easy to learn new ways to deal with your emotions that don't involve food. Try our 10-step process to beat the emotional eating blues.” Haha I was like FOR REAL? LOL I clicked on it and followed the path to this article about emotional eating. Interesting, no? K – off to take advantage of my lunch break – trying to decide if I want to pack or walk!!P.S. Do you think the new Old Navy commericials with manequins are hilarious or creepy? Or both? LOL I just saw one (the tatoo on his 'old legs') haha.
P.S.S. I ordered two chairs for our seating area and they were delivered to WORK not HOME. OMG so embarrassing! They're at home now though - and we put one together and it's so cute - love!
