work=stress=sugar

So slept in today and grabbed something to eat at work. I always have a stash of whole wheat english muffins, oatmeal packets, greek yogurt, fiber bars, dried fruit and nuts. The good thing about being in charge of the Dietary Department is that I can use the kitchen whenever. Today i fried up an egg and added fat free cheese and put it on a high fiber english muffin.



All seemed to be going well until all of a sudden....Department head luncheon for so and so's birthday. I'm one of 6 department heads so If I don't show I'll turn into the girl they don't wanna invite anymore. I suppose I'm just making excuses but I wasn't even hungry for lunch yet. But bad habits die hard and I went anyway and against my better judgement had some chinese food. I just picked out the broccoli of the beef and broccoli and ate 2 pieces of orange chicken & maybe 3 tbs of lo-mein. Instead of hating myself and feeling like a slave to greasy salty yummy food I just decided I'll eat a lighter dinner.

Then at 2:30 without even thinking I just grabbed a pack of mini gobstoppers out of my coworkers candy drawer and ate it in 2 minutes. Then a mini twizzler! I always have this crash in the afternoon. I bet if I didn't eat junk for lunch that wouldn't have happened. Lesson learned I guess.

Ate a few baby carrots before yoga. Now I'm finishing up some greek yogurt with agave nectar and a kiwi. Have a Spanish test tomorrow and a world religion test on Thursday. Wish me luck.
