Well this last week did not quite go as I expected. It was a really bad week. My biggest hurdle is going to be finding a way to deal with my stress and bad days/weeks without turning to food. I did not go completely crazy but it was bad enough. I had a really bad week school and work wise and aside from the stress eating kept me busy and I did not get to plan my meals very well. So, I weighed in at 267 lbs. I did not gain but I did not lose. I also did not exercise. It was just a bad week all around. I really have to make more of an effort to plan my meals and take the time to take care of myself. I am really struggling right now because I am working a ton and I am under an immense amount of stress. I know though that I need to deal with this now because I will always be under an immense amount of stress. It kind of goes with the career that I have chosen for myself.
So this week, I am going to focus on planning my meals, tracking my points, and making sure that I take care of myself first and foremost. I am having trouble understanding why it is so hard for me to do that but it is. I am also going to think about feasible ways to deal with my stress that fit into my schedule. Hopefully next week will be better. I am at least playing tennis on Saturday with a friend so that is something. So, until next week . . .
meal planning really does work. I've been trying to do that this week, and it's working out. I also make enough of whatever it is I eat for dinner to take to work the next day for lunch. Or, barring that, I make a sandwich and take some yogurt with me.
ReplyDeleteBesides, even though you had a bad week, you didn't gain. That's not something you need to take on the chin, even though it's not the outcome you wanted.
Take care of yourself. You deserve to be taken care of. See you in a week!!!
Hey! So excited to see that you are still going. Sorry I don't check in enough but I am so proud! You should update soon!
