Today's the first day since I took my vow of soda celibacy (just for this week!) that I wouldn't mind having some soda. It's been a hectic, stressful day for several reasons. This is what lets me know that I am indeed a "stress eater." When I am not stressed out, and I contemplate my eating habits, I think oh maybe I am just one of those people who genuinely loves the taste of certain terrible-for-you foods. And I think that might be a smidge correct, but it doesn't explain the container of Oreos I bought and consumed a year ago when I got broken up with. Or the amount of soda I drank at Christmas time. Or how I bought steak after a four hour long commute home from work once, in the snow, that should have taken 30 minutes. I am definitely a stress eater. This week is stressful; a year ago my mom passed away. That and other things have made this week complicated and right now a Mountain Dew in hand would be glorious.
For the 15 minutes it took to down it. I'm sure.
So, instead of giving in, I have poured some coffee and dumped in sugar free hot chocolate mix. Not at all the same thing as Mountain Dew. But, it gives my hand something to hold. Sure, I probably should be drinking water. Baby steps, baby steps.
Yesterday was my day off from working out. I was going to run again tonight but it's raining (hard, too, for Seattle) so I think I'll do the strength training that I vowed to do at least once this week. Hopefully tomorrow the weather will improve and then I will take Friday of and weigh in on Saturday like usual. If the Wii isn't lying, I am already over a pound down for the week. Wahoo!
