Hit a wall…and bounced back

Well not literary……but I did on the food front. Last night I really over indulged in some Fried Chicken to the point value of 47pts! To be honest I am too embarrassed to public admit what I ate but I am sure you get the picture – 47pts...

Why did I do it – I am financial quite stressed at the moment so instead of dealing with this I decided to eat instead – which clearly will really help the financial problem!!! I won’t get into my financial situation but I have been spending too much for a long time and it is finally all catching up with me…..bit like my weight did really – when I am down I do two things – eat and spend….well not anymore…

I woke up this morning and way lying in bed feeling quite sorry for myself (and quite ill!) and I though to myself – I have two options:

     1. Stay here and feel sorry for myself and do nothing – because that has worked so well in the past!!

     2. Get out of bed - take control of both situations put the past behind me and move forward….as Rhonda would say “It is not what you have done that matters – it is what you do next that counts” (or something like that)

It really was not a hard decision clearly options 2 was the only the options – I got out of bed, hugged my baby and then we went for a 70min walk, did a 2 day food plan, went to the shops to restock the fruit and vegetables, cleaned the house (I find if the house is clean I feel much more in control as well), tracked all my food (including yesterday), drank my water and tonight I am going to get a financial plan sorted – maybe even need to set myself a budget (opps sorry for using such poor language) but that is what it has come too.

Feeling much better already – I have a renewed sense of energy so tomorrow we are going to walking around Lake Monger (twice) – 7km…the weather is great in Perth so looking forward to it.
