Highs, Lows and Restlessness

I had highs and lows yesterday...I really struggled with everything!  Work was rough, and I came home and ate fudge.  Fudge!!  Ok luckily it was low fat low calorie - I had already cut it into 20 calorie bits just to prevent myself from eating too much.  So even though it was stress eating, I was really happy to keep it to 40 calories!

Here is how I did yesterday:

Burned 2487 calories
Consumed 1486 calories
Deficit of 1001 calories - barely made my goal of 1000 calories!

Yesterday was an awful day for eating.  Specifically stress eating.  I woke up, felt great, got out of the house quickly and then realized AFTER my 40 minute commute that I forgot my entry badge/key thing.  I waited in the elevator lobby for someone to show up but nobody did for almost an hour.  That's a whole hour of being in a tiny room that is about 90 degrees while I was not getting paid.  Needless to say I was not a very happy camper.

I was soooo tempted to just sit at my desk with a donut...and even now I think the biggest reason I didn't give in is because I didn't want to wreck my first week!  I ended up getting so stressed that I left work early, came home and had my fudge, and then took a nap.  I had eaten ok all day, and I really was not up for exercising.  I felt a ton better though, and had a good dinner to make up for that fudge.

Then...after dinner I started reading a few blogs, I love reading when people go through the same things I am and it was really awesome to see other people struggle but still get out there and eat well and get fit.  And suddenly I was feeling this really rare sensation...it was restlessness!!!  You all cannot believe how exciting that is for me.  I am possibly one of the laziest people alive.  I actively enjoy sitting.  Right now I'm sitting and believe me it's fabulous.  And I'm going to enjoy sitting even more this afternoon, when my new sofa is delivered.  So to feel like I WANTED to get up and do something was just awesome!!

We went on a walk around the neighborhood with my dogs - the older two anyway, we also have a puppy but he hasn't had all his shots so sadly he had to stay behind.  And even more awesomely, we went a lot farther than we intended because I was not feeling tired or ready to stop walking.  It was a really tiring walk for the dogs, but they were great and it was a ton of fun.

Today I'm going to lunch with a friend...it will be really easy to eat poorly!  I'm also feeling sore today so I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to get in much exercise but I hope I can!!  I hope you all are having a wonderful beautiful weekend!
