Everything is starting to get back to normal around my house. After two weeks of dance recitals we are completely done with dance. As much as I love to watch my daughter dance I do love to see the dance season wind down to an end. For me May and June are two really busy and stressful months so anything that I get to take off my calendar is great. Tonight I still had a ball game to go to but having to do for one child is so much less hectic then trying to do for both. So this afternoon after our chiropractor appointments we went to Subway for a quick dinner and then headed to the ball field. So no matter what I can mark off of my calendar – most assuredly there is something else waiting to be added on.
Today has been really tough for me. After enjoying myself on Mother’s Day and taking a break from all the serious dieting I really wanted to get things back on track today. I am glad to say I was successful at doing so – but it took a great big effort. One of the wonderful ladies I work with came in this morning before 9 with a snack size baggie of homemade chocolate peanut clusters. It was all I could do not to make those my breakfast. Oh My Goodness! They are so delicious – but I had to put them away as soon as she left the room. The good thing about these is that they will keep until I have another day where I am willing to cheat a little. I just got to put them up and keep them hid.
I also had to do some quick praying today. I am telling you – stress makes me eat & May = stress for an elementary school office manager. There is a whole lot of hurry up and wait. There is just as much of waiting on someone else to do their part. The problem with that is there are usually a whole lot more folks still waiting for a finished product from me. Then there are those people who just have 52 questions they want to ask and they must ask me. For me all of this equals stress which leads me back to the chocolate covered peanut clusters hiding in my bag. No – I never did even open the bag up – but I fought the urge hard all day long! There were a couple of times I just had to whisper a quick prayer for strength to leave the sugar alone.
All in all I had a successful day. The only sweet I had today was a bite of my daughter’s cookie she got at Subway. They have a new flavor of cookie – which I want even tempt you with by describing. My daughter wanted to try one and of course she wanted me to try it too so we could compare notes. So I did take a bite and it was delicious. However, that is the only bit of sugar I got today. Thank God that He is faithful because He answered my prayers and I did not turn to food to calm and sooth me today. To Him be the praise and glory for that.
Today’s meals: oatmeal w/ apples, salad w/ tuna, frozen berries, veggies and dip, apple, yogurt, Subway roasted chicken salad, (nibble of a cookie), (nibble of 2 Doritos my son left open on the kitchen table), 3 mini turkey loaves.
Today’s exercise: None – there really was no time today and I hate that. I will get back at it tomorrow though.
