The woman who brought the coffee cake served me up a serving of each she brought and handed it to me instructing me to tell her what I thought. It was a bad scene and now I feel like crap.

I walked to and from class today. Suck.

Thoughts: I knew this would be a rough day with all the beer involved. Today I went to Chicago to celebrate a friends husband's last chemo treatment. Ironically I did fairly well until the after party taco bell run. I get the "I've screwed up already and a little more can't hurt" mindset...and it's not accurate. I liked that I had veggies and pretzels for the drive. It made the drive great and I didn't get the urge to stop for a burger or a hot dog. Lesson learned.

Thoughts: Not a good situation. I'm wondering if taking pictures of what I ate today would have worked out better and made me more accountable...or having a plan for eating. Gosh, moving forward. I'm exhausted this morning and know that I ran around like a crazy woman yesterday, cooking and cleaning my house. That isn't organized working out but I'm hoping it counts for something. I love doing it but am glad it only happens once a month.

I walked 2.3 miles today...and signed up for the Indy 1/2 marathon in Oct. Training will soon begin.

Thoughts: I loved walking tonight and I walked with a friend and that helped. I am struggling though with being angry...very angry. I'm not nice to live with and I am an exceptionally angry driver. My emotions are very in my face and difficult to deal with. It was nice to be able to pop off to my friend while walking and he was nice enough to listen. I'm pondering if my eating covered up a lot of feelings and with that thought, with out eating how am I going to deal with these emotions?

1/4 cup raw no salt sunflower seeds

Packed this for lunch/snack in class.  1/4 cup dried cherries and 1/4 cup dry roasted almonds. It's an evening class and someone always brings in a treat.  I brought this to offset the treat.  I had the treat also something called gooey cookies...small amounts but once the sugar hit my system all I wanted was more.
Gross but true...had my left overs from last night for breakfast...right after my AM yoga.  Rode my bike to class.
