Stress

Yep it is official. I am a stress eater. Stress with my teenage daughter and trying to manage 5 children and a husband and a house and bills and...ya we all know the daily stuff. I ended up thinking about my problems a lot yesterday and ended up eating a small Kit Kat and a Diet Dr. Pepper. I feel guilty.

This morning I did 15 mins on the elliptical and then my HIIT 20 mins on the treadmill. I ran faster than normal and it felt really good to let go of some of that stress. It felt A LOT better than eating that chocolate and soda. Why do I turn to food? I was pretty upset with myself and when I got home after work, I had to unwind so I watched my recored show "The Office", which by the way is damn funny, and thought of diving into the Doritos in the closet. But I didn't. I wasn't hungry and I knew I was just trying to mask stress. I'm glad I didn't do it and recognized it. Too bad I had eaten the chocolate but that is part of life. Making mistakes and moving forward.

I will get to my goal. Someday.
