Today: I maintained the integrity of my maintenance calorie budget, I remained refined sugar-free, I met my daily water goal, and I stayed well connected with support.
The infection that's plagued me the last several days seems to be responding well to the antibiotics. The swelling has decreased and the fever has subsided. I feel better, and that's a good thing.
Today was a long day at work. I had a lot of things to get done, a couple of those things were passed their deadline, so it was stressful. In order to get it done, I really had to keep my head focused and on point.
As long as I'm prepared by having what I need, where I need it, when I need it, my food plan runs well. Although a super-long day at work can tilt the schedule somewhat--and I end up eating dinner just after 9pm, which is what happened tonight. But all is well. I'm grateful. It was a good day.
I keep a close watch on my attitude and perspective, specifically how I respond to high stress and emotion. Acting instead of reacting is a practice. And for me, it must be a daily practice, because I'll tell you straight up--it doesn't matter how long I've been in maintenance mode--my first inclination is to turn toward food. The things that stop me are a big bundle of things learned from being open-minded enough to learn from others. Acting instead of reacting. Allowing for pause and making the next choice based on positive intention is a game changer. If I don't practice this stuff daily, I'll go back. I don't believe anyone is ever immune to relapse/regain. At least, I know I'm not.
So today, I'm doing well. And that feels great.
I'm excited about the next 8-week weight loss accountability and support group that starts Monday and Tuesday next week. We have openings on the team!
