Another stressful day today.
At some point this cycle will end.
Yesterday I ended up only using 18.5/26 points - not intentionally, but like I said, I tend to undereat when I'm stressed. I'll try to make sure I hit 26 today.
I had the other Smart Ones Breakfast Quesadilla this morning (2 in a box) and a Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamer (frozen entree) for lunch. So far so good, I've averted low or high blood sugar, I am not hungry and I am not craving the muffins that are less than 5 feet away from me right now.
Even though the last few weeks have been crazy, I've managed to keep my blood sugar steady (with the exception of a few lows). This is so important to managing my weight and also to my mood and outlook on life.
Not sure what is up for dinner tonight - maybe chicken and some kind of rice. I will see what the boys want when I get home, although most of the time they eat whatever I make without too much comment.
I was in bed by 9 p.m. last night and slept til about 5 a.m. which is pretty good. I awoke to a dark, rainy, cold day in Toronto and as I was driving past the lake to work, the water looked like angry, rolling tar. It is definitely getting to be Winter. I have plans to do some snow-shoeing with another WW once the snow hits. I've never done it, so I think that is going to be loads and loads of fun!
Personally, I think that choosing the frozen entrees is a GREAT choice. Sure they may not be the best option out there, but the fact that you could be giving up in the face of stress and aren't is a sign of success. Do whatever you need to until things get easier. Whatever works.
ReplyDeleteDid you manage to find a new scale?
Wasn't it a miserable day? I was sure it was going to snow in Niagara! It sounds like you're managing through the stress. It's what seems to drive everyone to food...too much food. Snow-shoeing...wow! Sounds so
