Even with the best intentions, even with the best-laid plans, I am obviously not impervious to stress and aggravation and obstacles. Yesterday I was helping with registration for our youth event this week for work. Since the students come in from all over the state, we had some coming in by bus and some by plane. One of the flights was delayed, so instead of leaving work at 5 like planned, I ended up being there until well after 6:30, and it was pushing 7 before I got home.
I had planned to go running after work, then do some paperwork for my boyfriend’s company. Instead, I found myself just hitting the door nearly two hours after I planned on being home, and I was ravenously hungry. And grumpy. And aggravated.
I’d like to say I overcame my emotions, went to work out, and ate sensibly, but well…I ended up griping to my boyfriend about work, then we went out to eat to a buffet. I loaded up with lima beans (I looooove lima beans) but also had fried chicken and a few other items I would have been better off without. And no workout when we got home.
It could have been worse, but yeah, it could have been a lot better too. I am disappointed and frustrated that I let stress get the best of me again. It’s something I have been fighting my entire weight loss journey. And when you have a devoted stalker like I do, stress is 100% guaranteed in life. Yesterday’s aggravation was, for once, not set off by that walking bag of crazy, but I still need to get a grip and deal with stress better than this.
Today, no excuses, I am working out as soon as I get home from work. Tomorrow is the luncheon I have been planning for this work event, so once that is over, I can breathe easier and hopefully have a calmer, more peaceful week next week!
