Wohoo! Progress! and frankly I haven't been eating all that well this week. But keeping TOTAL CALORIES down seems to be the trick. My goal now is to stick with this and add in more exercise as much as I can without overwhelming myself and burning out.
I noticed yesterday, after a stressful morning and also being distracted by stress related to finding a new job, that I really just wanted to cheat/binge/not keep track of calories. Pork bulgoki and donuts!!!! (said my psyche) but fortunately I was able to head that off. What would I feel like after eating that anyway? Crappy, and bloated, and still stressed over the other things I was already stressed about. So I compromised with some vending-machine popcorn and made sure I got some protein for dinner.
This past week I haven't been sleeping well either, which I'm also blaming on stress. I know exercise can help with that too so I'm going to set myself up for feeling better by exercising a couple more days this week.
