Today was kind of an 'on tilt' day. My husband drove me to work and we dropped the boys off at daycare on the way. I was late, so I felt like I was playing catch up all day. The worst part was that I left my bag with lunch and snacks in the car, and I didn't want my husband to have to drive all the way back over to work to bring it to me (he offered - which was great - but it would've been like a 45-minute round trip drive.) Instead I went without snacks today (it was that kind of day, anyway) and went out to lunch with my assistant. I went to a place that I could be accountable and had a great meal that I enjoyed. Had dinner out with my husband tonight at Panera - they finally have my beloved french onion soup back! That's two meals out today, the day before my weigh-in. I don't love that all the extra sodium I'm sure I ingested will show up at the scale tomorrow, but I hope it won't matter. And truthfully, I really don't care, because I know I stayed well within my points today, and all week, and I STILL HAVEN'T HAD ANY SWEETS. This is monumental for me. I just can't believe I've gone a whole week without any. That's like...not breathing air for me. I also just feel really positive, in a good mental place right now, and it's been some time since I've felt this kind of internal calm. And that's saying something, because it is a very busy and stressful time at work!
I actually went shopping tonight and enjoyed it. Typically I don't enjoy shopping, especially when I'm as fat as I am right now, but I really tried hard to think forward instead of backward. I also didn't buy any 'I'll fit into this later' clothes - I focused on what makes me look and feel good NOW. That's not usually how I shop, and I came home with lots of great clothes for work.
It'll be another long day tomorrow, but at least my lunch and snacks are already packed and in my car :)
