Today's been a challenging one. For some reason I haven't figured out yet, I'm just dying to eat eat eat. I know I'm not physically hungry but I have this tremendous urge to chow. So far today I've kept on track with my points (WW) but I'm at my second job now and there is tempting food all around me and my co-worker just ordered pizza. Uggh!
So I don't know if I feel like eating because something's bothering me or what. I'm feeling pretty tired today and think I may be coming down with something. I think my mood is alright, just tired. I'm bummed about that too because yesterday I felt so rested and full of energy. I guess I'll just chalk this day up to a challenging food day. I've had a really good week food and exercise-wise and I'm really close to my next trip to the scale and don't want to jeopardize a good weigh-in. I'm doing my best not to eat tempting foods right now because I know if I take one bite of something rich and fattening I won't be able to stop at just one bite. I wish this wasn't so hard but I guess this is just part of the process.
I was feeling a little down last night thinking about the long road of weight-loss ahead of me. Thinking about the total amount of weight I need/want to lose is really overwhelming. I know I'm only supposed to think of smaller weight goals and I do but form time to time my mind wanders ahead and I start feeling defeated and discouraged. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel more positive. I do intend on working out tonight and that should help a little bit - at least once I'm finished and I feel good that I did it! What I'd really like to do right now is eat some pizza and curl up and take a nap! I'll save that for another day. I'll actually go home and make a "healthier" version of pizza and go to bed early.
My pizza tonight, I call it "Pizza-dilla":
2 Whole Wheat flour tortillas (4pts)
Pizza sauce (0 pts)
Mushrooms (lots!) (0 pts)
1/4 cup Feta Cheese (3 pts)
1 Serving (17 pieces) Turkey Pepperoni (2 pts)
1/4 cup Mozzarella (2 pts)
I'd add spinach (0 pts) too if I had some
Load up one tortilla with the pizza fixin's, top with the other and bake at 350 degrees for a while (I'm so technical!). Yum! I can't wait!!
An honest account of my journey for a healthier mind and body.

I had a doctor appointment round robbin yesterday so I took the day for that...felt like staying in bed/home today, but after hauling my self out of bed and getting going, I actually arrived at my desk early - go figure.
I do know that each day changes and we need to muster up what we can to get through each day - addictions control us and are not our friends - you are the one in control this moment - hang tough - fight the good fight - one day at a time.
Best to you on your WW weigh in tomorrow and congratulations on another great week of exercise...it says on the Wayzata Free Church sign "goals are dreams with a completion date".
Keep your goals attainable and you will be completing them on schedule and learning so much about yourself as you meet your goals.
