Eating while stressed....

I figured this would be a good topic to go over....and believe me, I am only touching on it...this is a big issue and stress happens to just about everyone. **(And if it doesn't happen to you, please tell me where you live and what you do so I can copy you!)** - It's all about how you handle it though.

I had something very stressful happen to me Friday night which was pretty much life changing- I thought- how am I going to handle this? (don't worry- nothing to do with Luke and I. More a work thing....)

Well, I went home, had a half a bottle of wine and ranted on the phone to anyone that would listen before I headed out to meet my friends...then realized I hadn't eaten yet while I was on the way to the bar -so I had a slice of pizza.

...so far I was not off to a good start!!!

Determined to not go down that road I woke up this morning and started the day off great. Made the bed, showered and made my self a nice bowl of oatmeal with chopped almonds, some whole grain drink and agave nectar. I also had one egg for protein.
Then I headed off to the 10am yoga class. - I was off to a great start!!!

I then got to do something really cool! A girl at my work is an opera singer and is performing in December and she invited me to sit in on her private singing lesson. It was AMAZING! Her voice was so powerful!!- It was very cool.

After I left her I headed back downtown and started to feel really sick. I had a sore throat, I was sad about the stressful thing that happened, I was missing Luke.....everything started to head downhill quickly! I just wanted to get home and in my Jammie's and watch a movie (...oh yeah...it was only 4pm!)

....Well that's exactly what I did!....And then I ordered Chinese food. Yup, that's right. You heard me. Chinese food. There is something very satisfying about ordering in and watching a movie. I did eat the broccoli first....does that count for anything???

I don't feel bad though. It's what my body needed or wanted I guess. And I have to say, putting the take out box in my fridge (because thankfully I did not eat it all!)- I was really happy to see that it was the only to go box in there and the only thing that was not fresh and colorful!

Besides, tomorrow is a new day and there is plenty of oatmeal, eggs and apples to start the day off right!- and I am booked in for a 2:00 yoga class and a sauna and steam room after. That oughtta make me feel better! :)
