Oh, how they fall! And hard!

Yes, "they" would be referring to "ME". Bad bad xena. Succumbed to the chocolate beasty once again. a pb big cup delight and small (ha!) bag of c@dbury easter eggies. *sigh* And coffee this morning, but that was in my master plan for the week. At least it was a small. On the brighter side, my car didn't need the fixin' I thought, so I "saved" almost two hundred smackaroonies! My daughter is home sick *again*, and so I'm home again. Not feeling quite as overwhelmed, thankfully.

So I don't know what to say about the chocolate. Did I mention that late afternoon yesterday, someone put out grrl scouts cooki3s? Mint chocolate? Did Xena eat any? Yes sirree bob! Probably 7-8 of them. What a mess I am sometimes, I just don't get it. What is so awful in my life that I need to abuse my body like this? Honestly, the stress cannot be that bad, can it? I've got my health, two beautiful smart kids, a nice apt. in a very nice community, an awesome bf, family, friends, comfortable wages, flexible schedule somewhat, the opportunity to go back to school and move into a whole new career. Yet the stress is still there and it's not pretty these days. I wrote up my comments on my annual review yesterday and it made me absolutely miserable how my work is not noticed/appreciated/supported by upper management. *sigh*

So I didn't work out yesterday and bf got up this morning to go to the Y so couldn't work out anyway. I plan to work out later tonight but that depends on my daughter's health. I'll miss yoga tomorrow (wah!) but hope to get to the Y later in the day, if it's open late on saturdays. If not, I have plenty of yoga tapes and a new yoga/bellydancing tape to try out. I need to keep up with the weights since I'm doing so much yoga now (it replaces my elliptical/weightlifting workouts on those days).

Eating today, beside coffee and the rest of the chocolate eggs, has been cranberry granola w/soy milk and some water. Not mixed together, 'cause that would make it watery and soggy. yuck! I have mixed greens and an avocado waiting for me for lunch, plus some pumpkin & sunflower seeds (raw unsalted), as well as an orange. I need to figure out a protein....I have chicken that I need to marinate in curry for tonight's creation of chicken/veggie curry. I have an eggplant, some broccoli and cauliflower, and I hope a can of garbanzo beans although I have to check first. The chicken will be enough protein otherwise. I think I also have some carrots to throw in there. Yummy! Oh and an apple and some raisins for a sweet kick.
