Today was a very stressful day. I woke up very sick last night with stomach issues. Spent quite a while in the bathroom. Then, this morning, got up early to do the workout my trainer Larry prescribed. Felt fine during the workout but then after felt super nauseous.
Probably should have made the decision to stay home but today was the first day of our IOWA testing so I suffered through and went to work.
The day got better.
Thank God.
Then, I got the call from our tax guy. Yes, I know that taxes were due in April. We filed an extension because we didn’t have our stuff together.
To make a long story short…We have to pay…A Lot.
I got the news and I wanted to eat. I wanted to reach into my drawer and pull out that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup that someone gave me and shove it in my face hard. Instead, I went for a walk. I went to my car to get a bag I needed. I took the phone outside to call the hubs and share the good crappy news with him and walked while we talked. I went and hugged a friend and told her the news and she was amazing and comforting and in the right place at the right time. I DID NOT choose to eat.
Small victories people. That is what it is all about.
One good decision at a time.
I hate that I have to shell out a ton of money right now when I don’t have any to shell out.
However, that is the fact.
I will still have to shell out the money whether or not I eat that candy bar. In fact, all the candy is going to do is make me feel worse about myself and the situation.
Good choices over bad haven’t happened much lately. Lately, I have not made good decisions and I have paid the price for it.
Today, I did.
I made the right decision and I want YOU to make the right decision too.
Next time you are looking at stress and all you want to do is eat yourself into an oblivion…don’t. Go for a walk, come back here and leave me a comment saying you were victorious.
One victory at a time people!
