Funny thing about resolutions... they are often short-lived! I'm holding to my ideal of maintaining all of them, however reality dictates that they are more process than immediately-achievable goals!
So today I became reacquainted with an old nemesis: stress (from both work and humans)! How quickly the calm of two weeks vacation can remove the memory of this over-bearing, pretentious, bad-food-encouraging villain! So although I started the day with my protein shake (Isagenix if you care), but by 10am I had a donut. And although I managed to talk my wonderful lunch buddy into Subway, I caved and had a Dr. Pepper.
Though not serious transgressions, today reminds me that I must figure out how to deal with stress in a healthy way - suggestions are welcome! And although Dr. Pepper is a wonderful indulgence, it cannot be my daily go-to for stress. So... I will be working on this one. Obviously continuously...for now, anyway.
Oh, and another thing I realized last night: as wonderful as Bisquick-coated baked chicken is, it is very hard to count the calories taken in from almost literally licking the foil to get the crispy, greasy bits. So, for now, that's off the menu. But hey, I cooked! And I had broccoli and a baked potato with the chicken, so it was a definite improvement over McDonalds!
And so continues my challenge to become... An Excellent Woman
"So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting." --Ecclesiastes 11:10
