It's 2 O'Clock Somewhere

Well it has been a very uneventful week in the world of getting back into shape. Not much to report other than I can do better.

I find I'm struggling with food. This is not a new realization but one that I continue to struggle with. I could blame it on the fact that I'm a stay at home mom that gets bored and eats. Or I could blame it on the fact that by 2 pm I am starving and I eat everything I can find. I could say that stress plays a huge part in my eating habits. There are so many things I could blame my eating on. I have said this for many many years that if I didn't work out as hard as I do I would weigh 300 lbs easily. That would be double my size. I know I eat twice as much as I should. Not to mention that the "twice part" is all junk. Everyday I think, I can do better. Then the clock strikes 2 and I turn into a person who hasn't eaten in weeks. I find myself thinking about Dr. Phil. He would say, "What's your payoff?" "What do you get out of eating all that junk?" "You must get something or you wouldn't do it." I guess I do get something out of it. I get comfort. I get a feeling of satisfaction. I must be missing that in my life. How do I find that without eating it? How do I improve the way I feel? Funny thought because most people say exercise will help. Got that covered. A more restful sleep? Me. ha. That will never happen. If I can find a way to feel more powerful, satisfied and comforted I truly think I would beat these cravings. I have yet to figure out how to do that. But I'm hoping that starting to blog about it may help. It certainly can't hurt.

I haven't been able to do as much in the form of workouts as I would have liked this week. I was on my own over the weekend with a sick kid. Then my other one came home from camping and looked like he had been eaten alive. After going back and forth with the possibility of chicken poxs, it was determined that it was just a bunch of bug bites. I had him home when I am usually gliding along in the pool. So back at it tomorrow. Hopefully Dr Phil. will scream in my ear to put down that Oreo because it's just not worth it.
