Recovering

It's interesting the patterns that start to emerge when your really start watching/analyzing your food habits.  I seem to do this little trick over and over:

Have a great weekend.  Enjoy the people and the places I'm with/at.  Don't think about food choices at all and therefore make plenty of unhealthy food choices.  Get used to delicious and unhealthy food that I am choosing and the not caring about the consequences. Go back to work on Monday exhausted from the good times and used to eating bad foods.  Have a hard time snapping back to being "good."

That is the case this Monday morning for sure.  I had a super stupendous great weekend, being a fun aunt with two of my nieces and nephews.  Helped my nephew learn to walk and had many a wonderful discussion with my chatty three-year-old niece. I also cheered on my big brother at his first 5k race!  That was a big highlight of the weekend, especially when he came in second overall! He even got a medal, which makes me just the tiniest bit jealous. I'm so proud of him for having the courage to start running.


But now it's Monday, and I was back to reality today.  Tiredness is my number one trigger, so as you can imagine I did not fair so well in the realm of diets. I wish I could find the balance, the way to live a full life and not go overboard with food.  This living in the gray is harder than it looks.


PS. Can you believe it is August?  Quite possibly my least favorite month of the year. Just the sound of the name conjures images of sweatiness.
