An A-OK day!

Today was a good day. I went and got labs done for my annual physical: CBC, BMP, MMR titer (for school requirements), HgA1C (out of my own paranoia....I am NOT diabetic. My brother was dx'd out of the blue, and since then I get mine drawn once a year), and Vit. D. They are all perfect. Even my fasting sugar was 62. Good to go in that department. Oh, even my TSH was totally good (Hx of thyroid CA in a first degree relative).

Diet was on point. I even walked the stairs with leg lifts for 15 minutes today at work. I hope this go around is better than my attempt last week. I literally took a WEEK for my muscles to recover.

But...I'm lying here drinking lemon water and chewing some gum....so I don't make poor choices in the kitchen. Why do I get so snacky when I get off of work? I literally just ate my dinner at 2130. You know? Why do I get home and want to binge?

Is it a release mechanism from the day at work? Is it just because my husband and I can finally sit and decompress? WHY do I default to stress management with food? How do I detach myself from the emotion of food?

Special occasion's, I get it...but I shouldn't have an emotional attachment to my morning eggs. You know?

I saw a book recommended on a MFP thread....called Love Hunger. So I'm looking forward to that coming in and giving it a read.

Also, we are going to the community center tomorrow to take a look at it. For $100 a year (for BOTH of us)....you can't beat it. Even if we joined just for the basics they offer; it is literally RIGHT outside our door and is a super smart idea. No travel, no weather excuse, I can take a shower AT HOME and NOT be crunched for time. Even if we used it as a "filler" in addition to a real gym membership.....I still think its a smart move.

And I'm blogging right now to NOT binge...so YAY for a constructive outlet. I'm gonna wrap this up and hit the sack.

I hope your day is great.
WELCOME to all of my new readers! Onward and upward!!
