Ok....I'm going to have to give into sleep. Being sleep deprived is the culprit behind lots of my hiccups on the way.
I eat for energy I should be getting from sleep.
I do not feel like planning appropriately which gets me into trouble the next day.
It makes me more susceptible to being emotional. I struggle with emotional eating.
Instead of preparing foods as I should, I opt for quick fixes which sometimes are less nutritious.
I deal with stress less effectively. Stress is hazardous to health even and especially nutritional concerns.
I tend to want to sit around instead of exercise.
I am sure there are others. Ok ok ok....I'll take another baby step already!
Baby Step:
Get sleep. Try a bed time at or before 11:30. I know I could fail miserably at this sometimes, but I will still consider it a priority. (Insert sad face for my late night ponders here.)
Wins for Today:
Today was a good day, but an emotional one. I definitely boarded and rode a wild emotional roller coaster, but I didn't eat like it. I totally separated my emotions from my eating. That means I have come a long, long way. Also a special thanks to my “safe place to vent” friend. I cherish you for always helping me refocus on the light.
Nutritional Nugget:
I think I have mentioned this before, but I want to especially spotlight http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/ This is a great place to find a meal plan and also insert your own food diary to calculate how you compare to your recommendations. Muy LIKE!
