This Week

I totally meant to log my choices this week. But I've been sick with this nasty sinus cold junk and haven't felt like doing much of anything, much less flog myself for bad choices. Which, honestly, haven't been THAT bad. we did have a pizza party at work Wednesday and I did eat three slices plus a slice of cake for dessert. And then took some leftover pizza home and had two slices for supper and then two more slices for breakfast the next morning.

Okay, so I did borderline deplorable. Oh well.

I have not walked any this week for two reasons (not excuses!!): 1) I've been sick and 2)It's either been raining or insanely humid all week. Neither scenario is good for walking outdoors.

I'm feeling some better today. Still coughing but I'm hoping that by the end of the weekend the nasty sinus cold is gone and the weather stabilizes and I can get back into my walking routine. It's supposed to be cold from here on out but I don't really mind walking in the cold. Unless it's windy, too. I may have to return to the whole "walking indoors" thing and just be careful about it.

Emotionally I'm feeling okay. I haven't had any further meltdowns or depressions. Anytime you can say "I haven't thought about killing myself lately," is a good thing, right?

I had the best of intentions of eating salads for supper this week. I ate a salad ONE TIME. Monday night I ate a small salad. The rest of the week has been chilli, pizza, and stuffed mushrooms and tilapia. I'm going to try for salads again this week. Never give up or stop trying, right? Should be easier to stick to since no parties are scheduled for next week.

Lunch has been a sandwich and apple all week except Wednesday when we had our pizza party. Breakfast was Cheerios two days, pizza yesterday and sausage balls today. I just get tired of cheerios and if there are other things in the house I have a tendency to eat it.

I have been snacking more this week. I made the mistake of buying a bag of chips. They were supposed to be for the party but I had a massive salt craving (PMS) and opened the bag. Good news is, I haven't emptied the bag yet. ha I have also been eating more sweet snacks than normal, too, just because they're there. I made the mistake of buying some Nestle Girl Scout bars last weekend and I've been tearing through those all week. Bad me.

I wish I could talk myself into an entire week of "clean" eating. I read all these blogs of people doing these thirty day challenges and I can't help but marvel at how they manage to stick to it. I can't last an entire week without giving in to a Coke or a latte or something equally bad for me.

I did resist the siren call of Panda Express yesterday. I had the perfect opportunity, the money and the craving. But I managed to talk myself out of it. Yay me.

Anyway, this week has just been rough. Fingers crossed for a better week.
