Today was a little off, mentally and emotionally. I suppose these days are somewhat normal, after all, everyday will not be equally awesome. Making it through days like these without a binge, without turning to food for comfort and without violating/abandoning the practices and fundamentals bringing us so much good, is a HUGE victory.
I don't even know what tilted this day for me. That's what's so puzzling, I just felt "off." Maybe I was tired, perhaps some stressful moments at work triggered this--or maybe I was worrying about my daughters, or mom--or maybe I was missing someone special, I honestly don't know. I do know it affected me from mid-afternoon through this evening.
I hurried to the kitchen as soon as I got home today. I wanted a snack of some kind. Maybe I was turning to food? If it was, I did it in a measured way. I weighed out half a serving of blue corn organic tortilla chips and topped it with an 80 calorie slice of muenster, then I proceeded to microwave it until I had a precise 150 calorie, very small portion of cheese nachos. This isn't a typical snack for me. It was good, although it didn't alleviate my unexplained sour mood. Food doesn't fix things like this. Food isn't a therapist. That's really something I must never forget.
Remember the incredible Chicken Taco Chili Heather prepared last weekend? A few asked for the recipe and now it's available! Heather added a recipe tab to her blog where you'll find the recipe and another for the homemade taco seasoning it contains. Simply click here to check it out!
Tomorrow starts a wonderful weekend! It'll be a busy weekend, for sure-- but very enjoyable. Maybe it'll be just what I need!
