Yesterday was a pretty draining day. I don't know if adrenaline helped me through day one or what, but I was really tapped out by the time I got home. Finances are pretty tight right now, so I've been trying not to go shopping, but make due with the food in the house. (Side note: If people take piano and voice lessons, they had better blasted well show up and pay at the beginning of the month like they're supposed to. We count on that income. Ok. Enough said.) So yesterday after a successful morning (normal omlette and fruit breakfast), morning snack of almonds, lunch of tuna on wheat bread with a side salad (I also had a tootsie roll, a tootsie pop and 4 pieces of licorice. I still haven't put the candy in the staff room yet. For some reason, that's hard for me to do. I'll try again next week.), I was late in getting my after school snack in. I had errands to run and ended up at Fred Meyer with major hunger pangs. Not a good time to go shopping. I ended up getting a pizza for dinner, but didn't succumb to the candy aisle calling me to come over.
Thoughts about the pizza. #1- there were healthier choices I could have made. #2- we didn't order from Main Street pizza, which would have been a ton more calories and a much bigger pizza. #3- I ate half of it and Paul ate half of it. #4- I wanted to get two pizzas, and only got one and it's gone now.
That whole evening I was craving food constantly and, because I hadn't planned beforehand, my mind kept going back to what was available in the house. I had a bag of light kettle corn, a cup of baked chips, and 2 pieces of wheat bread. Oh- and an ice cream sandwich. Profile: carbs and sweets. The things that are hardest for me to say "no" to. I ended the day pretty bummed, but got to bed early so I could work out the next day. I meant to work out after school, but was tired. I'll need to do three-in-a-row- Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Oh- on the physical activity, I did get up early today, but Pippin was so peppy when we got up that I took him for a walk instead of working out.
