Checking in quickly.
I've done so-so over the last few days. We had some company over Friday evening and she brought some delicious chocolate cake. I enjoyed a small piece with no guilt. Even though I had made a goal of no sugar for the month, I was willing to enjoy the hospitality of my friend and treasure the gift of a homemade gift.
Unfortunately, I wasn't so good about battling my craving earlier that week. I totally caved in to the peanut butter sandwhich I had been fighting against all week. That really stunk because I know I did it out of stress and frustration.
Then, the Sunday going to church I did the quick grab of a bagel on the way out of the door. We were running so late and it was the fastest thing I could take even though I knew it was not what I wanted. I'm pretty sure I used "we're late" as a lame excuse to cheat. Sigh.
Last night was a horrible, miserable night for sleep...or lack thereof. I need to get to the place where it's just okay to not sleep well and move on. But I am battling so much anger and irritations. It is SO hard to be kind and to do what needs doing without feeling completely overwhelmed by the simplest tasks. And, ick, how the crabbiness spreads in this house.
Today we head out for an hour or so at the YMCA. Some exercise may wake me up. Having somewhere to go is at least a motivator to get moving.
I understand the carb cravings SO MUCH, Tracy! I'm right there with you, sister!!!
