I’m still here
I haven’t posted for a few days but it’s not b/c I fell off the wagon. We took my younger son to the doctor yesterday b/c he was running a fever and was quite lethargic and they ended up admitting him. He did have an ear infection (his usual) but the other symptoms were more worrisome. We didn’t take him in until around noon so I had already gotten my workout in for Saturday and was eating well. Fortunately my mom was in town so she came up and sat w/him so I could go home, shower, pack a bag, etc. And I packed a bunch of healthy snacks and I’m proud to say that I didn’t use this as an excuse to eat. I honestly didn’t even want to yesterday, today is a bit tougher. I think it’s b/c I’m so tired and hungry. We got home about 2:00 this afternoon and all morning I had eaten a cheese stick, an orange, an apple and 2 yogurt/granola bars. As soon as we got home I ate a few hard boiled eggs and a cup of yogurt. I was still hungry so I had a sugar free pudding. My hubby is at the store getting his prescription right now and I asked him to pick up one of those rotisserie chickens, I’ll eat some of that w/veggies and cottage cheese for supper. I don’t know what the calorie content of everything is but if I stick w/this I’ll consider it a day on plan.
Days on plan this month: 12
Progress toward workout goal: 160/250
Ugh, why do I do this??? I literally shut off the computer, walked to the freezer and began to eat some frosting left over from Christmas that I found buried. It couldn’t have been 15 seconds after I posted about staying on track while in the hospital. Then, I ate an uncooked cookie that I found as I moved the frosting. I did stop myself after about 5 minutes of mindless munching but I feel so stupid. I know better than to do that. I even looked at the picture of my goal dress as I was shoveling spoonfulls of frosting into my mouth. Plus, since I wasn’t home this morning I have to weigh in tomorrow. I can only imagine what I’ll see after this little feast 
yep that all sounds on plan. I hope you make it through the day. When we get tired, it triggers hunger. I find myself wanting to eat in an attempt to gain energy. But then if I’m that bad off, sometimes I’m too tired to get something healthy, or the bad stuff just seems more satisfying. Maybe you can lay down for 20 minutes? Hope you feel better, and hope your son is doing better. Hang in there!
wow, I hope your son is okay. You did great! What a lot of help your good planning has been. Great idea on the chicken. Hope to hear better news from you and yours soon! Delita
you’re doing great, don’t beat yourself up about a little mindless stress munching. at least you weren’t doing it for days on end!
sending good thoughts for your kiddo.
