Yesterday, 5/25

So yesterday was not my best eating day. I wasted several points on "treats". You can probably tell from the lack of blog posts yesterday that I was a little busy. My classroom was in desperate need of some spring cleaning. I ordered new cabinets for storage and they arrived yesterday. I spent most of the day cleaning my room. At the end of the day it was time to head home and I still had some grading to do. I searched EVERYWHERE for the papers and couldn't find them. I was getting stressed. I thrive in chaos. Neatness gives me anxiety. While searching I found a kit-kat and reese's cup and ate them. Was it the best move? No, but I'm learning that when I'm stressed, tired, or anxious, I turn to food (and bad food at that!). Definitely something to work on. 5 points could have been much better spent.

I pride myself on trying to eat whole foods, natural sugars, local and organic as much as possible. There are definitely times when candy hits the spot but overall I don't want it to be an everyday part of my diet.

As far as exercise, Bo and I headed to the Dowd Y for a hip-hop class. We both grew up cheering and dancing and although we're not the best we always have fun taking these classes. I got confused with the class start time and ended up arriving 12 minutes late. The class is out in the open in front of everyone (and there are PLENTY of onlookers) and we didn't feel like joining late so we turned around and left. At least Bo got to pick up her Y card so the trip wasn't completely pointless.

We headed home with the intention of going to the Harris Y for a Zumba class. After waiting around the house for 30 minutes or so we decided Zumba was not in the cards for the evening. We took the dogs on a 2.5 mile walk instead. It was nice enjoying time with my mom and sister just talking and walking and our dogs were dead tired when we got home. Walking isn't the best exercise but I'm glad when I do it.

Tonight  I'm headed to babysit a family for the weekend. I'm not sure how much exercising I'll be getting in so I really need to watch what I'm eating. I can't let junky food like mac and cheese and kids chicken nuggets get the best of me!

By the way- Bo dropped out of the biggest loser contest so its just me and Jay. I don't think Jay has weighed himself but I am down 2.5 pounds so far! Yeah!
