Diary of a Real Girl

So yeah – I am a STRESS eater!! And for some reason, usually on the THIRD day of the week is my worst…i don’t know why.

Anyway, Saturday is my weigh in day, and technically Monday is my 3rd day…what am I, a masochist? Combine my HARDEST eating day with the first day of the week??? Bah.

Yesterday was a stressful day for me. It wasn’t BAD per se, just tough. First day in a new position where I am ENTIRELY unprepared and everybody wants everything NOW and I just don’t know what to do. And of course, the woman who used to do the position is away on holidays…so I can’t even ask. Oh well, I made it through the day. I survived.

It started out badly though BEFORE work too. My husband missed his work bus, and it is so cold/snowy/slippery here that I didn’t want him to drive his little sporty car to work…so he drove my SUV which left me carless. I had to get a ride, only to get to work to find that there was an errand I was supposed to do (though not really, it wasn’t really my job to get it done) and the woman who drove me to work had to do it (so I put her out TWICE!).

THEN I went shopping with a coworker after work and these boots that I have wanted FOREVER were on SALE!!! Marked down from $170 to $39 and only my size left. The problem is, they zipped all the way LAST year, but they DON’T zip all the way this year…yeah, my coworker (who I am NOT close with) wouldn’t LET me buy them, literally pulled them out of my hand and then made me feel like crap “buy something that DOES fit. Look for some accessories in this store since the clothes won’t fit” – um excuse me? Where ANYWHERE did I say the clothes didn’t fit. I felt terrible when I left…not the way shopping should make one feel!!

So then I go home to where I have had chili simmering all day, only to find that because I didn’t add any tomato sauce to the mix, I have more like bean and hamburger soup. Blah. And it was SO bland…like disgustingly bland…I don’t know where I went wrong…I barely ate 2 spoonfuls.

Anyway, I went to the grocery store and while we there I bought “Bits and Bites” – I am a SALTY girl…I can down a bag of those with NO problem!! So I got home, put the groceries away, emptied the dishwasher, got a couple of things together for lunch today and breakfast. Poured a diet gingerale, let the dog out, cleaned off his paws, got a bowl out and measured a SMALL serving of B&B for me! YAY!!! Seriously, I NEVER do that. I usually just open the bag and grab little handfuls while I am working around the kitchen, just eating mindlessly.

I came in UNDER my calories for yesterday (which is okay, I just work it out for the week) and it feels AWESOME!!

And even though today SUCKS (husband left with my keys in his pocket and I had to get ANOTHER ride to work!) I am going to the gym tonight – what else would I do that would be productive???

Okay – so because of that little almost “blip” Blog Resolutions will have to wait until tomorow!
