Day 7

Yesterday I woke up with a bad headache and it didn't go away completely until I went home and took some heavy-duty pain medicine (I tried other things in the meantime--ibuprofen, drinking lots of water, resting my eyes, etc). I left work about an hour early when I just couldn't suck-it-up and keep going any longer.
I ate my healthy meals while I was at work and drank plenty of water (Proud of that!) and walked the dog in the morning. Not so proud of the fact that I overate when I got home though. I was thinking about this last night. I am so good at work--eating my planned meals and doing work. Then when I get home it's like I have to rebel. I want to be completely unproductive and eat everything in sight. I need to reflect on this some more because there is obviously something there I need to dig deeper to find. I'm keeping healthier foods at home(non-flour, non-sugar) but I'm eating too much of them. I've decided to stop buying nuts and string/sliced cheese to have at home. It's too easy to snack on them and it doesn't take long before you eat a bazillion calories by eating them. I didn't get a 2nd form of exercise in yesterday--just because of how bad I felt more than anything.
Something good I did yesterday--I planned a facial for myself next Thursday. I can't wait!
My daily give for Day 6: My husband was out of milk for his morning coffee. I went to the store last night just to get milk for him so he'd be happy this morning. :)
Something I'm grateful for today: That I feel good! Nothing like a bad-ass headache one day to make you grateful for feeling good every other day.
Plan for today:
  • Eat my packed meals
  • Do Week 1 of C25K (for the last time! woo-hoo! I'll start Week 2 Saturday
  • We're going to a happy hour today for a friend to celebrate her new job (I planned this little gathering for her so that's my daily give for today) My plan is to NOT have any of the appetizers they serve and to have iced tea over margaritas.
