Nap or workout?

What should I do?

I am really tired. Ds woke up at 5:30 this am. It was a long week. A nap could do me good. Both the kids and dh are already asleep. I stayed up to paint my countertop really quick like.

I didn't work out yesterday though. I dipped into my flex points last night. Only by 3, but still.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....what to do.

I know the choice I should make...sigh...Okay, you guilted me into it. I am going to change in just a sec and get out the wii. :-) Thanks.

Oh, have a couple of NSV's to report too. Last night at dinner and today at lunch I was full and instead of shoveling in those last few bites because it was good, I pushed my plate away! Woot! Oh, also, after dinner last night we went to get some fro yo and I had about 3 bites and as we left I threw the rest in the trash, instead of getting a lid to eat later. How do you like that? There are times when I really feel like food controls me. Last night and today were not them.

Ack! Stress!

I can't believe the amount of stress I am under right now. Seriously, work is making me sick. I have a cold sore from being stressed out. I actually had to leave work for 2 hours today just to keep myself under control b/c people were really pissing me off.

I was glad that I did. I went out to the base. There was a plane landing w/some guys that have been deployed for a while and I hung out with their families while they waited. That is one of the best parts of volunteering. Watching the families as they see their loved ones get off that plane.

Then I went back. It wasn't too bad after that. I was able to let go of the stress and managed to do it with out eating. Sometimes I am so glad I am being healthy. It makes me feel good and...I guess powerful is the word although, not quite right.

The invisible injury and a NSV

Oh, the invisible injury. I have no clue what happened but when I was at work yesterday my leg started hurting me. Like so bad I was limping. It is near the shin area and maybe about 3 inches below the knew slightly to the left. When you touch it, I can't feel anything so I can't really pinpoint a spot that hurts but hey, there you have it. There were a couple times last night that my legs almost buckled from the pain. Mostly it was if I had been sitting for a while and put just the right amount of pressure and stood up. Oi!
Any ideas?

Oh, my nsv. I bought a gallon of that delicious dryers slow churned no sugar added cookie dough ice cream...whew, that was a mouth full. Normally I wouldn't keep ice cream in my house b/c it is one of my major down falls, but I took the plunge anyway. So, I didn't touch it for a couple of days and then had a major ice cream craving. I pulled it out. Looked at the serving size and actually got out a measuring cup...and then I USED it! and only once too...then I have some sugar free fudge and did the same thing. I made myself a delicious 4 pt (yeah, the fudge is hefty) but filling sundae and you know what, I really didn't need any more than that. In the past I would have just shoveled a bowl full and ate that thinking it was a serving. Also, another little trick I used was the toddler/infant bowls are just the right size to make that sundae look HUGE!

What little tricks do you all use to get in the things you like and still feel like you are getting a fair share?

10K or 6.21371 miles

I walked a 10K yesterday. Not too shabby. I am actually a walker by nature, but usually I do a bit more to prepare for longer things like that. I took some of the kids I work with to the AIDS walk. It was nice to show them something outside of themselves and they all finished.
So, b/c of the walk I was super hungry yesterday and ate more than I should have...the good news is I still have some flex points left for the day.

I went to a bday party today for an 8 yr old. They had pizza and cake. I ate 2 bites off my daughters pizza w/no cheese and I ate the strawberries out of the cake. I lick of frosting. Then I stopped at subway on the way home and got me a veggie sandwich! Woot!

That is my life. Boring. I actually kind of like it that way sometimes. You know, a break. Anyhoo, WI is tomorrow so we shall see.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Forgot to tell you

about my nsv!
I was at home the other day, finished eating and remembered I had bought these mint crisp m&m's and jumped out of my chair to go get them. I immediately sat back down b/c I realized that I was not hungry so there was no point in eating them. Rock on!
