It has been a long, frustrating, stressful day. I had a meeting in the AM that I thought was just going to be a short wrap-up from an incident a few weeks ago and it turned into a forty minute bitch session. Needless to say it wreaked havoc on my day. BUT - I am proud to say that I did not resort to eating as a way to cure my pain and frustration. In fact, given how I felt today, I ate very well.
Maybe that was because I had such a good workout this morning. I can actually move with ease today which is a relief. I also set my alarm five minutes earlier so I could stretch a bit. I am not one who normally stretches but I guess I need to. So I stretched, cranked on my five minute cardio warm up and then went and worked on my legs. Upped the weights on some, felt the pain, and then decided to run/walk today. I did my first three minute walk and then started the two minute run. I felt so good at the end of two minutes I decided for three, then four, then before I knew it I had been running for seven minutes! I only stopped because I didn't want to injure myself. For the next twenty minutes or so I walk/ran but then with seven minutes to go I ran five and walked the last two. I felt so good!
I ate really well today. As I mentioned before I went to PF Changs with my advisees. I had one chicken lettuce wrap and then ordered myself a chopped chicken salad. Dressing on the side. It was actually really, really tasty. Then we went to a chocolate bar. Mmmm, Mmmm, good! I purchased one little square of chocolate and inhaled it right there at the cash register. Then I bought a bigger piece for Friday. It is on my dresser now. I can't wait to eat it!
Let's hope tomorrow is a better day.
Tonight is my last night of duty!!
