What a day, :-(

I am proud of myself this week and especially today. I have been eating so much better. I haven't exercised as much as I have wanted, but I have also been very busy and can't get out away like I want to, and I've been feeling it.

I am very proud of myself today for a few reasons. First, I walked for an hour and 40 minutes, which at my walking pace is around 5 or so miles. I drank all my water and ate a really good dinner. I got all my veggies, dairy and fruit in. I skipped lunch (I was out walking, so I had linner instead).

What I am most proud of, is that when today turned into a total effing nightmare, I didn't resort to food to make me feel better. I was called home from my shift on the medic because of a demon-child. I got home and had to drop a hebrew hammer and take control of an out-of-control situation. Once the demons were asleep in bed, I relaxed. Normally, after a day like this, I couldn't find enough food to try to calm myself and relax myself. Tonight, I recognized it, knew I worked really hard today and didn't want to jeopardize or ruin those points I earned. So, I carefully chose a snack that I had enough points left over and avoided all my other inappropriate coping mechanisms.

So, here it is at midnight, I don't want to go to sleep, because that will bring the morning and the end to this peaceful night too soon. But, tomorrow, I am going out for another walk, because I think the endorphins from today's walk is what kept me sane and on the bandwagon.
