mars2kids's Journal, 04 November 2015

I've had a win this morning already. I was about to stress out about the work Christmas Party again, but I was able to stop it in it's tracks. The food is not going as planned, so the person who is planning it is going to try something different. The people I work with don't like different, so I was about to stress and tell her that we'll figure out some way to make it the same, but I realized that I'm not in charge of the food, I'm here to help her cook the food and pick up little things like maybe side dishes or appetizers, not decide what we're having. She's a great party planner and whatever she decides will be good and I'm sure people will enjoy it. It is a big step for me to give up some of that control and just let things be. I know she is kind of stressing about this already too, so I don't want to stress her more either. Like I said, I know she will choose to do something great and everyone will enjoy it anyway, so why stress?

Last night I got a workout in and a test done, so my stress level was under control then too. :) I did eat a little too much yesterday, but I felt like I kept myself from going too overboard and I did get my fruits and veggies in and I didn't eat any chocolate. Today I have my plan, so I'm going to try my best not to let any little junky snacks sneak in. I'm feeling really good after defeating stress, getting a workout last night, and having a plan today.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!

I had a very similar situation with our Halloween party. I was in charge of the food this year. I decided to go a different route heard all the complaining from my co-workers about it. In the end they loved it I avoided all the treats I had to order to make everyone happy. Except I snuck a small sliver of the salted caramel cake because my co-worker would not shut up about how great it was. It was so little though and had no impact on my calories for the day. Forgot to boil my eggs for my breakfast this am so I'm way behind on my calories but gonna try to have a huge salad for lunch. Happy Hump Day!!!!
