I learned my lesson!!
I posted the following on my personal blog http://healthylifeintx.blogspot.com/
just a few minutes ago. I decided to post it here too in case it might help someone else out besides just helping me.........
Here
I am, at the end of Day 4 on the Nutrisystem food/program and I have
already learned my lesson!!! What lesson?? The healthy food lesson.
I
have been really bummed out today because the account I work on has
TONS of reports to get done (I'm a medical transcriptionist if you
didn't know) and it seems like the numbers aren't going down at all
today. I know other people are working on the account besides me, but
the number still seems insurmountable that needs to be done by Monday
morning. I really, really, really hate working on Sundays. When I
worked outside the home, I would just flat out say that I wouldn't work
on Sundays. It is against my religion & I don't like doing it
anyway. However, now that I'm working at home, it's hard to say "no"
sometimes when I know the work is there to be done. I'm having a really
hard time staying away from it on Sunday even though I know I shouldn't
do it.
I'm supposed to do 6-8 hours of work on Saturdays because
this one account wants their Friday work done by Monday morning
(instead of Monday afternoon like most accounts) because they see their
Friday patients again on Monday most of the time. Right now, since
Samantha is still home during the week, I don't work all that many
hours during the week, so I work more on Saturday since Richard is home
to watch the girls.
Anyway, it's been really hard for me to get
all 6-8 hours in on Saturday. I get distracted or take a nap & just
don't get it all in before I'm too tired to stay up longer. Therefore,
I end up doing a little on Sunday even though I really don't want to.
Today,
since it seems like the numbers aren't moving much at all, I think I'm
going to end up having to do more tomorrow to help the account.
Therefore....
tonight I was feeling frustrated for myself for giving in to taking a
nap earlier & also for fussing with this blog this morning (my
table didn't work right away & Richard had to code it right)
instead of working first thing this morning. I was frustrated at myself
for not getting the hours in that I should have today. I was also
frustrated that I'll have to work tomorrow because of my own issues
today and also since there are so many jobs to still be done. I started
being frustrated at everything.
Richard called when they were on
their way home from swimming at Emily's (Richard's sister) & I
asked what they planned on doing for dinner since he hadn't gone
grocery shopping yet today. He said he didn't know & asked why. I
said how frustrated I was & said that I just didn't feel like
eating Nutrisystem even though I should. They ended up deciding to eat
at Sonic. I asked him to get me a burger with bacon, tater tots with
cheese, and a Diet Coke with vanilla flavoring..... just normal size.
I
learned my lesson...... Yes, it was comfort food...... Yes, it made my
frustrations go away temporarily...... BUT.... it didn't fill me up for
as long as the healthy Nutrisystem food does.... AND it went right
through me (no further description necessary).
From now on, no
matter what happens.... no matter how frustrated I get.... no matter
how badly I want comfort food.... I'm telling my mind & body NO!!!
I need to eat healthy from now on!! I know there will be times when I
won't have my Nutrisystem food with me for one reason or another.
However, in those instances, I will choose the healthiest choice
available and not the greasy burger with greasy bacon and greasy tater
tots that just make me feel worse later on than before I ate them!
Besides
that "slip up" I have had a good NS day. Richard is grocery shopping
now & I sent him with a big list of grocery store foods from my NS
list. I'll be cutting up veggies tomorrow!
