So I am feeling really crappy today. My attitude stinks. I feel like I have too much to do and not enough time or resources to accomplish anything.
I worked today for the first time since the holidays. The pressure at work sometimes is unbearable. I just want to climb in a hole and not come out. Then I was late leaving for work which makes me late picking up Mikell. She called (yes, my 6 year old has her own phone for occasions just like this...) and I was able to tell her where I was which is a good thing. Then I came home and did Jesse's accounting for his business and spent 1.5 hours paying bills, etc. So I just feel like I'm neglecting my kids and family.
Then I made 2 meals for my family and I. The girls fought the whole time through dinner. All the kids are finally in bed so I can go do my upper body work out. I feel so lethargic and wasteful. I know the exercise will do me good.
Ok. That's the end of my bellyaching.
Meals:
Meal 1: 1/4 cup egg substitute, fork full of salsa, whole wheat toast and yogurt (Leslie thanks for the tip about carb master yogurt SO DANG GOOD!!)
Meal 2: yogurt and string cheese
Meal 3: 2 corn tortillas, grilled chicken strips, lettuce and 2 tsp lowfat sour cream
Meal 4: Missed it
Meal 5: Flounder fillet (baked) and green beans
Meal 6: Missed it
Gratitudes: Good friends, the physical ability to change my body, and my cute kids that make me absolutely crazy and my heart ache with love all within the same hour.
PEACE!! I'm out.

You seem so on top of it with eating Mindy! I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed with all that is going on in life right now. I understand it - completely. I know one thing though - YOU CAN DO IT! Try not to be so hard on yourself - you're trying, and you're doing the best you can. Keep trying and you'll make it.

The reason I'm on top of eating...I eat almost the exact same thing every day. I have it in my house. I know how many calories they are. Makes eating a no brainer. I don't get over hungry because there is always something that I can just grab and rip open and shove in my mouth...like string cheese or a yogurt. If I have to cook something, I can take the edge off with something quick like that and a glass of water. Works for me!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Mindy! You are planning to succeed. I'm sorry about all the stress but glad to hear that you are doing it anyway. Sometimes it is easy to find reasons not to take care of ourselves and it sounds like you had a million today, but you did it anyway and that makes all the difference! Great job, Leslie
