First off, I do want to say I'm doing better, it's been a rough period lately. Partly due to stress, the holidays don't entirely help things. I've basically been frustrated by a lot of stuff right now. For example, I bombed my final the other night, I managed to pass the class but still.
Trying to recenter basically because I know I'm like all over the place mentally. I did manage to go out with some friends last night and had a good time. I have that holiday party next week and I found the perfect shoes today to go with my dress so I'm looking forward to that.
I'm back on track but starting slowly, I am logging. I totally guessed at dinner since I ordered some Chinese. Think I did okay since it was chicken and broccoli with no sauce (I'm not sure what's in the regular sauce and I have a hard time with MSG anyway), and wonton soup. Yum. Still have a ton of leftovers obviously. Last time I logged I would freak that I didn't have the absolute right amount of something entered but that break that I took proved I can trust myself with what I eat. I lose more quickly actually counting but I certainly didn't bloat up like I expected so if my guestimate is off, it's not that big.
My main goal logging these days is to make sure that I'm not ridiculously under or overeating (particularly with the stress I've been under), but I really think I'll be fine.
It amazes me how much colder I am this winter. Even in the middle of winter last year, my coats wouldn't zip and I really wasn't that cold in an unzipped coat. I'm wearing what I call my Nannook of the North coat (a suede coat with faux fur lining that by itself probably weighs like 15lbs.) The coat didn't zip last year, it now zips with layers of sweatshirts and sweaters underneath (and I am usually cold these days.)
Anyway, going to try to put my tree up and get in the holiday spirit the best I can since I think it might help my mood.
Affirmations for today:
1) It's okay to ask for help when I need it, I don't have to do everything alone
2) Very few journeys are a straight line. Sometimes you have to just follow the bends in the path.
3) I can trust myself to make good choices
4) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life.
