Today was all over the place for me. My all-or-nothing personality type hates this more than a terrible day. It makes me feel disorganized. Actually, it makes me unsure how to feel! (Did I do bad? Or did I do good? How hard am I supposed to be on myself right now? What level of punishment needs to be administered!?!?!)
Well, today included some green tea and a box of strawberries as a snack. I also did more stairway laps and a little walk at lunch time. However, I just finished a veggie burger and diet coke from Burger King for supper. Kept away from the sugar of regular pop but put aspartame into my body but I chose a vegetarian option but it was still fast food and I feel like I want to puke etc., etc.
How to make myself respect my body more? I've heard about the power of positive mantras, but have always felt a little silly trying them out. I'm more comfortable saying, "Bloody Mary!" to the mirror three times than, "I am a beautiful and unique snowflake!" once. ...Sorry, that was sarcastic. And sarcasm, although satisfying, does not bring anything to the table of self improvement. Maybe I'll whisper a little, "hey kid, you're alright" to myself tonight.
I still have a decent amount of energy this evening, so I'm going to organize my surroundings and prepare tomorrow's lunch before I get demotivated. Organization is vitally important to my sanity. It's so satisfying to sleep in an extra 15 minutes because your lunch is pre-tupperwared and your closet color-coordinated, ready for selection.
Happy Hump Day everyone!
