I had a stressful day today and I did not do well with my food plan.


It all started with a donut . . .
This is going to sound like an excuse and it is, but what would you do?
I had ordered gluten free donuts off the internet. Very expensive, but a rare treat for my family. It will be a while before I order them again. Well, my son only took 2 bites of the very last donut that we had and decided he didn't like that kind.
So I was not going to let that expensive, rare donut go into the trash. Very yummy. But got my day off to the wrong start.

I had a very busy morning and did not get everything done that I had planned including my exercise.
I am pms-ing and feeling very stressed.
I had decided that taking a shower and shaving my legs took priority at that moment and I decided I could do my workout later after errands.
Well, I picked up Collin from preschool, took Carter to his dr. appt that took over an hour and a half.
When we were finally on the way home and I was looking forward to doing my workout when I got home, we got a flat tire.

It was my own stupid fault too. I was handing an apple to Carter in the back seat and I hit the curb. Ripped a hole in my tire!
i had to call my husband to get off work early and come put the spare on for me.
We got home to a messy house because I had no time to straighten up today.
The kids did not get naps this afternoon (Carter did get one this morning). So I felt like I just did not get a break.
I never got my workout done. I did not eat on plan. I snacked alot and picked at the kids' food all day.
It was stress eating plain and simple.
When I was getting dinner ready, I was so hungry and stressed that I ate a bunch of marshmallows. Ugh!
It really was a tough day. And I still have so many tasks not done. So much laundry to be folded and put away.
And I'm working really hard to get my jewelry business going. This is what is taking up some of my time. So anyway, I need to put today behind me and start again tomorrow. As many tomorrows as it takes to get on track. (That was the answer to the question I asked myself as I wrote that--how many times will I have to start over again tomorrow?)
Still plodding on, but so tired and discouraged.
Food plan for tomorrow:
B-oatmeal
S-protein bar
L-chicken fajitas; apple
S-protein shake
D-chicken quesadillas
S-strawberries and coolwhip
Workout plan: walk with stroller group; Turbo Jam Fat Blaster video

I've been having a starting over again tomorrow day for the past 2 weeks. It's very hard but at least try to put in ten minutes of stress relief exercising like running as fast as you can for those ten minutes, even if its just jogging in place. That will kickstart the natural feel good endorphins your body makes and it will naturally help lower your stress and you will feel better. It can also help curb your appetite so you don't go into that stress eating frenzy and you can give yourself enough time to make a healthy meal.
