It's been too long

I didn't realize it had been so long since I wrote my last post! I knew it had been a few days, but apparently my sense of time is completely whacked!

So I completely fell off the wagon. Went back to my awful eating habits and drinking lots of pop. I'll blame the end of school and Judo busy-ness, and working a lot, along with the warmer temps and a clogged sink but really, I'm just looking for excuses. Ate out quite a bit more than I had wanted/hoped to. I also realized that I haven't been drinking any of my tea.

So today I started back up again. I took the kids out for a day of fun, which included lunch. I just bought an appetizer instead of a full lunch, and I didn't even finish it all. I listened to my body and stopped when I felt full. At the movies, I only had a 1/4 of a bag of popcorn and threw half the bag out.

Now, because of the clogged sink, I can't use my kitchen sink or dishwasher since they're piped together. I went out and bought paper plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery. I made shrimp and rice for my dinner and that paper bowl was fantastic for portioning! Too bad they're so god awful for the planet.

Now I'm sitting with my cat and having my first iced tea in over a week. Erik gave me home workouts to do, and tomorrow, I will be doing that and cutting back on the Pepsi and eating out!

Yesterday was shit, lol.

Yesterday was such an epic fail, it's like I took every single bad eating habit I had and applied all of them in this one day. I woke up after a really good sleep and I honestly felt like I was on automatic. It was my second day off, I had a ton of laundry to do, so it felt like my body rebelled against my mind to eat better and won. I ate like garbage. It's actually a bit embarrassing how badly I ate. I recognized it, and I still let it happen. Food addiction is just as hard to shake as other addictions. I am addicted to junk food. I hate how it makes me feel but I lack willpower to stop eating it. I need to be stronger. I will be stronger. I will be cranky, but I will overcome this addiction.

Much better days!

After writing about my shit day, I've had 2 good days since then. I've made a realization about another junk food trigger and that's work. I go to work and I'm fine because it's not like I can eat and drink whatever I want. I pack a good lunch with snacks and water, I eat breakfast before leaving, which is a huge improvement because I HATE breakfast, lol. It's when I get home from work that I need that can of Coke. It's hot, I'm tired, and my feet hurt. I get home and then life at home can be chaotic with Erik rushing off to work, kids are home and both are talking to me at the same time and demanding supper. Animals are barking/meowing at me. Everyone is so happy to see me and all I want is just 10 minutes of quiet. So I grab a can of coke, sit down and let everyone yap at me while the cool, carbonated, caffeine-filled, nectar of the gods wash over me. I have a problem, haha! But I'm hopeful that my new iced tea press and fruit teas that I recentl...

Pop no longer has a hold on me.

It's been a while since I've written, I just got busy with work and kids! While I haven't eaten as well as I should have, I've been keeping up with my water/tea and eating breakfast every day, minus today. I regretted it though, because there's nothing like sitting at the dentist and your stomach is rumbling like it's about to eat itself. My pop consumption is way down, though today was an off day with having some at Montana's and then a can at home. Twice  I've brought one to work for my lunch and I've decided I did not want it so I just stopped bringing one. I choose to drink my water instead. I also realized that when I haven't had my David's tea, I crave it. Today was also a day with exercise! Erik and I took the kids to laser tag and played 3 games. By the 3rd game we were so into it, we broke the rules and started running all over the place. We definitely worked up a sweat, got a ton of cardio, and now my legs are yelling at me lol. ...
