View LOVE2RUN's food & exercise for this day

Today was a hard day. Christmas work party. We went out to lunch and I was teased about the healthy request I made for my order. Why am I considered the weird one for wanting to eat a normal, healthy meal? I did splurge on a drink though. Just one.

After the party my husband picked me up and he hadn’t eaten yet, so we stopped at the food court in the mall. He had Chinese. He got my favorite. He loves me. He wants to share, “Just one bite honey, one bite won’t hurt you, just one more bite”. Sometimes, love hurts.

I don’t know if it was the MSG in the Chinese or just the Chinese itself, but all it did was make me hungry. I was not a bit hungry, if fact, I was boarding on stuffed after lunch. After the 4-5 bites of beef and broccoli, all I wanted to do was scarf down more…. So we stopped for a candy pretzel and I polished off some chips when we got home. That was the low point of my day.

When I got home the alcohol made my workout sluggish. I pushed through it though, so I get bonus points for effort. However, the high I normal get from working out was missing. I love that high. It would have been a lot better than the high from the afternoon drink. Should have skipped the margarita.

Why can’t I keep my resolve? Even when I know it’s what I want? Even when I know it makes me feel so much better? Why do I let other people influence me into doing/eating something I don’t want? That will just make me feel bad?

I think it’s an engraved effort to please others. To make others happy. To put their needs before my own. Thanks mom. I hope you’re happy. But I guess that’s what I loved so much about her, she always put my needs first in an effort to make me happy. Like mother, like daughter?
