Has this ever happened to you? It's hot - you're marinating in the humidity, your car is broken, you're trying to decide to do with the stray kitten you took in who is really sweet but you really don't want another pet right now, your toddler has just decided to empty her dresser onto her bedroom floor for the third time today, not to mention all the other crap she's strewn throughout the condo and Baby Bach is repeating for the... 4th? 5th? time that day (and woe to the father who turns it off!) and now that toddler is whining at you because she's really tired but she won't nap, so you just have to head to the kitchen and grab a diet coke and that Almond Joy you bought at the store last night, because right now, you need Need NEED that Almond Joy. Who doesn't need a little Almond Joy once in awhile, right?
I eat for comfort. I know what I'm doing, when I'm doing it, but you know what? When I need that food comfort, I do not care. Luckily, I don't usually need much eating comfort - this isn't a typical, or usual, thing for me. What is more dangerous in my experience, is the eating because I'm bored, which since I've started this blog and been so much more concious of my dietary inputs has mostly stopped.
Weigh-in after my workout late last night: 225. In a little over two weeks of eating right and moving my body more. I can tell I am on the right track.
I wish I had an Almond Joy RIGHT NOW. You know, for energy. It appears that by the time I get to Friday, the surge of energy brought about by working out can't really compete with the fatigue brought about by the week. But yay for being on the right track! :)
