Valentine Plans
For starters I'd like to give myself a BIG FAT sad face for yesterday. And I wonder why the scale hasn't moved from 160 in over a month. It's days like these that do it. And I started with the best of intentions -- don't we all. At lunch I had to go to Walgreens to pick up a prescription and as I was checking out, I was thinking about getting some of those Conversation Hearts to satisfy my sugar craving. Well -- because I was already at the prescription check-out counter, I ignored the sugar craving. But when I got back to work and finished my lunch, I was still craving sugar like crazy. Then I remembered I had some chocolates in my briefcase that I had picked up for James for Valentines. I ate a 3/4 oz. piece. Minutes later, my bossed filled the candy jar with Hersheys Miniatures and that first bit of chocolate triggered me. I had 5 Hershey's chocolates by the end of the day.
My bad eating didn't stop there. I had to work that night and when I got into the building I had forgotten my packed dinner & snack in the car. So, instead of going out to my car, what did I do? Visit the vending machine. I had a 1 oz. Bag of Doritos and a 12 oz. can of Tomato Juice. Finally, when I got home at 9pm from work, James had baked a pizza and I was still hungry -- what Hershey's and Doritos don't constitute a filling dinner? So, I had 3 sm. pcs. of pizza.
All in all I had chips, chocolate and only a few servings of fruits and veggies. Come on -- days like these are what hold me back. I need to change the way I "deal" with these types of situations. And obviously, chocolate IS a trigger food for me.
Something interesting happened yesterday. My husband received a call for an interview for a Managing Editor position of a 7-day a week newspaper. He's ONLY 28! This would be quite an opportunity for him. Besides the newspaper is owned by a group that would allow for a lot of movement. On the other hand, we'd have to move, I'd have to find a new job. Our whole life would change. *Sigh* But I'm getting ahead of myself -- he won't get to interview until Thursday. So I don't need to start worrying until then.
I am so glad it's Friday. What a week. I'm much more calmed down than I was before. I got a ton of work done this week -- so I'm ready to head home for the weekend. I didn't get to the gym this morning, though -- so I need to catch a step class at 5pm before heading home. I already have dinner planned: a wildrice casserole. Yum!
Goals for this weekend: work on Saturday, clean bathroom, vacuum carpets, TAXES, checkbook and a lovely valentines with my hubby! ;)
