Tax day was taxing

Ok so I had to pay taxes. The good news is that it was not as bad as I thought. I have to say that today was tough on the food front. Here it is about 830 and I only have 3 points left. That is unusual for me. No doubt about it I am a stress eater. I also did not eat very healthy today. Lots of carbs little veggies and fruit. I will have to do something about that. I know the answer is to replace the stress relief of eating with exercise but once again I am having trouble with motiviation on the exercise front. Believe it or not I am still trying to heal my blisters from grass cutting.. 15 minutes tomorrow come hell or high water I will exercise

25 days

This is the 25th day of my blog and for the first time ( ok mabye the second) I really do not feel like writing tonight. I guess I never really knew how much I used food to cope. Work was about a stressful as it gets today and again gave my argument that my industry is changing so rapidly that my job will obsolete in 5 years or less... The good news is that even though I went on a tiny binge the choices of food for that binge were good choices. My new favorite snack of melba , pickles and laughing cow cheese and hostess 100 calorie pack ( I had two of them!!!!) and dinner. Out of points but time for bed so I guess I made it through a tough day.

Who needs flex points!!

I do, I do..... Tried something different today in trying not to have too many points left at the end of the day. When you get home at seven or eight it is hard when you have 15 or 20 points left so I tried to bring more snacky food to work with me........well.. for the first time in 10 days I had to dip into my flex point reserve.. granted it was only .5 points but still. I guess the idea of snacky stuff at work was a good idea but I was really busy with stress filled activities trying to take care of fires that need to be put out quickly. I learned that i was using the snacking as a stress outlet so I chalk up my flex point or .5 point to experience and now have some sugar-free mints to help me through the day... Lets see what tomorrow brings.
