When Life Gets Stressful, Make a Salad

That may be the tagline for my blog one day. Except, I didn't make a salad. But I did eat well (enough), drink 10 glasses of water, and exercise today.

And life, indeed, is stressful. I'm going through a very sensitive and stressful situation right now. It has me very weighed down. A great part of that comes from all the uncertainty involved in the immediacy of it. That will be resolved, for the better or the worse, soon enough I suppose.

I often say that I just need a flip to switch and then I can kick they healthy thing into gear. It may have switched today. It just occurred to me that when there is so much going on around me that is wrong, this is the one thing I can do right. I can control it when there's not a whole lot else I can control right now.

So I didn't allow myself to make any excuses. I took advantage of what I had- didn't put-off for that magical trip to get the "right" foods. I ate things that didn't have the labels to figure out the math. And just... made it through the day.

The thai spring rolls by Lean Cuisine were good. There were very flavorful and it lingered. I didn't realize, or had long since forgot, that mustard has zero calories. I need to find some marinade or dressings that I can make with it. I had booked myself for a hot chocolate and marshmallows tonight but I 'm going to save that for another day and go to sleep now.

Tomorrow will not be an easy day.
