I am having a mediocre day. If it were that TOM, I would blame PMS. Nothing specific wrong, just feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated and irritable. I did well with food today but when I am feeling this way, I am tempted to overeat or snack or treat myself to get out of the bad mood. I left points for my chocolate yogurt so I will be having that as soon as I get off-line.
I am also frustrated because I can't exercise and I feel like exercising would help me jumpstart weight loss and also give me some time alone every other evening when I am not sitting in front of the computer. My stomach is looking much much better so I will give it a go next week.
Another source of irritation is the mental stress required by eating healthy which, in my household, mainly falls on me. Mike is great and totally supportive, but he doesn't think while coming home from work "what are we going to have for dinner tonight? Do we need anything from the store? We are out of fruit and we will definitely need some more for tomorrow...". I think those things and run to the store and buy the stuff and come home and make the dinner and prep for lunch tomorrow, etc. He would do it if I asked, but I might as well do it, I already know what needs to happen. I hope this doesn't read that I am irritated at him, just at the voices that run around my head while he seems to be voice free.
OK, enough whining. On a positive note, I felt skinnier this morning! Maybe it was the fact that I am "going commando" to avoid further stomach irritation, but my pants felt loose and seemed to hang a little lower on my waist. We weigh in this weekend. Though I am curious, I have been pretty happy in my oblivious state. I am not sure if I will want weighing in to be a monthly thing.
