You do better.

I've always loved that quote and I really needed it today.Ya know sometimes
weight loss can really make you feel like you are on a roller coaster. There are good and bad moments. Ups and downs. Today was a little challenging. I was really busy all day lots of unexpected things kept poping up that demanded my attention. I'm be honest I am a perfectionist and a control freak so the thought of things not going unplanned can really rattle me leaving me riddled with anxiety.

The day started out well I got up had my workout and ate breakfast. An unexpected event lead to me rushing out of the house without lunch and snacks. All day I was running around and then I had class. I skipped lunch and my snacks because I was busy and to be honest I never got hungry. Then I came home and had dinner. I was having dinner with the family, my mom made fried chicken so I made myself a huge salad and sprinkled a few cut up pieces of one of the breast. It was good but now I'm worried. Not so much about the calories because I allow myself 1400-1500 calories a day and I had not had anything to eat since breakfast. I'm more worried about the fact that I skipped meals today and that's put me at risk of binging tonight.

I need to calm down in relax. I can definitely handle this, just need to have a plan. What's my plan tonight? My plan is to most importantly stop the binge from happening. In my arsenal I have tons of fruit and vegetables on hand ready for consumption if I should get the urge to mindlessly nibble. I have water. I have plenty of distractions on hand crocheting, netflix, sparkpeople. Oh no I will not be defeated. I'm prepared and I will not give up with out a fight.

Lesson of the Day: Like a boy scout always be prepare. Anticipate problems and try to think five steps a head. Normally I prepare my meals as I go. I'm a student and I work from home so I have a lot of free time most of the time but I think it will be a good idea from this point on to prepare meals in advance. It's important to set myself up for success and not let lack of preparation sabotage my efforts to get healthy.

I'm off to cruz the message boards perhaps responding to messages will be enogh to occupy my idle hands.

Live Strong,
