let me list the sins… and get back on the wagon
21 04 2008I stopped tracking my points Sunday and today. I also did not add the chocolate cake and chocolate dipped strawberries that I ate on Saturday night. On Sunday, I had chocolate covered pretzels and toffees. Oh and chips…. Today I had a ben and jerry’s ice cream on a stick. CAN YOU TELL THAT I AM STRESSED!!!! I handed in my term paper last Wednesday and had it returned with several comments for revision. With being sick and having no desire to work on it anymore, I did nothing on the weekend except stress. So here I am today, working on it an maybe 20% through it and I promised the prof that I would have half of it done today. Oh well, I am going to finish the section I am currently working on tonight. Tomorrow, I will hopefully get another section done and be half way done by Wednesday.
Oh and I will track my points again starting tomorrow. I am going to do a walk/run session tonight to help calm the anxiety levels.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving me a great comment. I have made some small changes…exercising more regularly than NEVER, attending weekly WW meetings, journaling EVERYTHING…but I really need to work on eating only my points for the day/week. Not doing great there.
Stress seems to derail me too. Maybe you could write a list of things that help you relax like bubble baths, shopping, walking, etc. Then make sure you do at least one of those things everyday until the source of stress is resolved. I know it sounds a little silly, but maybe it will help you relax without turning to food. Just take a look at your list when you have the urge to grab something out of the pantry. (I need to take my own advise!) Hopefully you’ll be done with the paper and relieved of the stress before you know it! Best wishes!
