Success comes in all shapes….

By MJ

So I had a pretty lousy day at work. If you want to know details – shoot me an email. But I was determined that I was NOT going to let this sabotage me.

I left school as soon as I could (to the shock of most of my co-workers.) I quickly made it to my car to have a Zone Bar (my afternoon snack) then popped a piece of gum.  I drove PAST the Arby’s, I drove PAST McDonalds. I got home, vented to my parents a bit. Sidestepped the brownies on the stove, ignored the ice cream in the freezer, and put my chicken in the oven. I then sat to watch the Olympics and even took a short nap. When it came time for dinner, I resisted the urge to take a “little extra” rice.

After letting my dinner settle I hit the bike for 30 minutes. Went another 7.3 miles but this time I only reduced the level once (for a much harder workout than yesterday).

I am proud of myself. I did not let my work issues trick me into comfort eating, or slacking on the bike. My stomach is still a bit queasy when I think about work, and I am still pretty irked, but

WORK WILL NO LONGER SABOTAGE MY LIFE.

So with that, I need to go finish my lesson for tomorrow and watch Greek!

Food note: Today I only ate what I PLANNED to eat – YAY! Go Me!
