Back on Track

I started this blog with the intention of being good, and eating more healthy food and less junk. Maybe I started it a few days too early.

I haven't been too good with either food or exercise over the last few days, with lots of stress on Monday, followed by my birthday on Tuesday, and a birthday lunch on Wednesday. I've been getting enough sleep at night, I think, but I'm still waking up sort of drained, and definately unable to wake up early enough to go to the gym before work, which is when I prefer to go. I've been achy and tired all week, so either Nhan is right and I'm getting old, or I'm coming down with something. (I haven't been extremely bad with my diet, just not really good, when I'm stressed or feeling bad, all I really want is something sweet and full of carbs)

But, today is looking up, food-wise, if not the exercise. I started with a healthy breakfast of an Odwalla Nourishing Food Bar and a banana, followed by a mid-morning cup of Earl Grey tea with a bit of 1% milk and 1 packet of Splenda to sweeten it. I brought lunch, a bowl of my yummy homemade black bean soup and an orange (had a small piece of milk chocolate with the orange, as dessert), the soup is fully of good for me vegetables. I even brought an afternoon snack, a granny smith apple with some organic peanut butter, yum! For dinner I had some homemade tomato basil soup with a couple of rolls to dip in it, and the last serving of sweet potato souffle.

I'm thinking maybe I should talk to Nhan in the mornings before work, since he makes me so happy, I can just relax when I talk to him, and it would make for a less stressful day.
