In Which I Am Pursued By the Evil
I worked just about a 14 hour day. But I got SO MUCH DONE I'm hugely relieved to have it behind me! So no weights tonight. I wanted to get my laundry out of the way. What I did complete today was much more important. And I'm very pleased that I did get a workout in this morning! I will do it again tomorrow!
Working these kinds of days definitely throws off my eating. I get busy, I don't want to get up, I get to snacking if something is around. Today was no exception. Through the course of the afternoon and into the evening I had a frozen yogurt, a Nature Valley Granola bar and a whole bag of Genisoy Soy Crisps. I kept thinking about doughnuts and the Dunkin' Donuts that's right downstairs. Fortunately, I was so engrossed in my work I did not succumb. But I didn't eat anything appropriate either. On the bus home I started going into "Food Fantasy" mode.
Food Fantasy is when my imagination is bigger than my stomach! I get a little hungry and I start to think about the things I'd like to eat. This usually doesn't last very long and can be easily defused! As the bus approached the stop in front of the grocery store at my corner, I thought about getting off. I did not have a taste for anything in particular. That's the strange thing about Food Fantasy. I just imagine wanting to eat! It can be the most odd disconnection! I didn't get off the bus. I started to. Didn't.
Next stop, my house. Next to the pizza place. That sells slices. And of course it was open. Get off the bus. I start walking in that direction. But after a few steps I take a left! I was very happy to discover that I still had some edamame bao from Wow Bao in my freezer! I like having those around. Pop one in the microwave for one minute and they come out almost as good as when they're fresh from the restaurant. About 100 calories, protein, fiber, whole grain, a serving of vegetables. They're PERFECT! Took my night time supplements and I'm all set. Food Fantasy episode over.
Getting washed up and in bed right now. I would have felt like shit if I'd had that pizza.
