7/12 | Control

7/12/18 Amazing day yesterday, control-wise**. Work was super-busy, the kind of day that needs a good urban hike @ lunch time. But it was way too hot. I sat @ the coffee shop and worked on my 'pity' blog. No snacking (other than what I packed in my lunch), big salad and veggie burger for supper, cantaloupe & 2 prunes for a snack (yep, prunes, nice & sweet) & before bed a rice cake with PB2. I think the rice cake w/PB2 made me sleep hard & have vivid dreams. I think I need to save points to have that before bed every nite. I was happy when I got in bed - happy w/myself for eating healthfully & with restraint, getting in there abt 30 min earlier than usual, just feeling like I took care of myself for a change. No medicating myself with food, drugs or alcohol? Slept until my alarm went off, which is unusual. But maybe since I was up 3 or 4 times during the night to empty my bladder I needed the extra 30-45 minutes LOL. I aim to make today a repeat and start my trend. BTW, turned down pinwheels last night :)

Another busy day at work today, but in spurts instead of a sustained level of frenzied activity LOL.  Order lunch for the boss - thank goodness he likes to eat the same thing the same way. The place I order his lunch from allows me to save favorites so I can just login and order his sandwich, chips and tea. Easy-Peasy. Order lunch for one of the partners and her clients for a working lunch and run next door to pick up. Juggle conference room bookings around. The boss has a big meeting with the planning board at the city tonight and these things always make him very anxious. And that anxiety spills over and affects everyone on the floor. This kind of day would usually drive me to snacking. Or to go out at lunch and have a wildly caloric and fat-laden baked good. And then, since I'd already blown the lid off my bucket of good intentions, I'd would go nutz on the snacky shit at home. But I really feel like I've got this. I did bring an extra snack today, how did I know I would need it? LOL Just a melange de melon, but I will definitely enjoy it. I do think I'll be happy writing in my journal tomorrow morning. But even if I'm not happy, I will be honest with myself.

***I've noticed the 'C' word again.
