Bad Day

It was not a great day.  I only had one shake left so that was breakfast. So, after I picked up my daughter from preschool, I decided to get the kids a "fun" lunch.  We stopped at Jack in the Box and I got some lunch too.  Although instead of getting the large, I got the medium sized meal, still not good, I know.  Finally got the kids to nap around 2pm, I also got to nap.  I woke up from my nap feeling totally disgusting!  I felt swollen and kinda gross.  Never again.  I am realizing as much as I might have a fleeting craving for something that tasted good once, it no longer does.  Then, to make matters worse, I didn't feel like cooking and everyone was hungry, so pizza got ordered. I have been finding that my eating habits are changing, I eat less than I once did.  Or maybe I am just finally paying attention to my stomach actually being full as opposed to the mental issues that may have once forced me to feel like I needed to eat.  I am finding it easier to ignore thoughts of hunger because that is all they are, thoughts.  I will have a snack in between meals if I am hungry but something small and not filling.  Water has also become my drink of choice. Today I also had too much soda and that easily attributed to my disgusting feeling after my nap.  My skin is much more hydrated because I have cut back on the soda.  My fingers and elbows were constantly dry and cracking, I hated this.  Now, I am surprised sometimes at how soft my skin feels, all from drinking more water.  Anyways,  that is my confession.  Today has been horrible, I am looking forward to working out tomorrow morning and getting back on track.  Family pictures are this weekend and I plan on this being the last one with my weight where it is.  One thing to remember, we all have bad days and it's okay, it's going to happen, just keep your goal in mind, allow yourself a "free" day and get right back on track the next day.  This kind of mindset will keep you motivated.  Good Luck and Happy Health!
