My anxiety levels are through the freaking roof, and the peanut butter jar has taken a serious beating. Crap!
I know nobody is perfect, and I'm prepared to hop back on the bandwagon because I am bound and determined to accomplish my goals, but for me the mental damage is as catastrophic as the physical damage when I mess up my diet. I can't help but wonder if I've undone all the progress I've made. Logically, unless I eat the amount of calories in the defecit I've made for the week, I will probably not gain.
I am definitely tired! I've worked HARD at the gym this week, with only 1 light day, so I'm taking today off to make sure my body is nice and refueled for the week, but I wonder if that helps? Usually, I run to relieve stress, and I get stressed when I don't run, but I know my body needs rest...AH!! Dizzy yet?! Haha.
One thing I read that I try to always remember to make sure I remain dragging from the bandwagon as opposed to chasing after it, is that one screw up doesn't mean to give up!! Instead of saying, 'Well, I already blew it! Might as well go all out!", you should ACTUALLY say "Well, that wasn't worth it...back on track for the rest of the day!"
I have been procrastinating a bit in terms of household chores, waiting to get them done so I don't have to redo them for when my partner gets home from work every two weeks (not that he expects it, but I like the idea of him coming home to a clean house). I think the weight of things right now is just getting to me, between my work schedule (11 shifts, 9 days, 0 days off...ew), the chore thing, obligations with friends and family, gym...yeah, who am I kidding?! Today is nap day...I'm gonna need it! lol
ALSO! Weigh in day!!! Officially Sundays, because I believe that seeing those numbers first thing in the morning on rest day will help me to stay on track for that one day especially!! It's not huge, but it's something, and I'm excited about it! Can't wait to see that number get smaller!
