Busy with life. To tell you the truth insomnia wears me out. I run on adrenaline all day long and when I stop going, I crash. I crash to the point that I would rather stop and get something to eat as opposed to waiting until I get home and heat up leftovers. Now that's lazy. In the time the purchased food is prepped, paid for, and I drive the rest of the way home, I could have made it home, pulled out the food to heat and ready to dive in. And it saves me some money...a lot of money.
How have I been feeling? so-so. Gotta love it. Can't find a better word or set of words to describe it. I've been dealing with a lot of gas because I've been eating more starchy carbs and sugar than I should. They are my comfort or "mood foods" as I call them. When I am stressed, these are the foods I turn to and binge on. There is no moderation for me when it comes to these foods (Unless others are around. Then they help me keep my mind off of the ills of the day.). It's all or nothing. I can blame it on the food companies for putting in additives that turn on that switch that can't be shut off unless I go cold turkey. When I do do good and follow a more healthy plan I find that I am hungry all day long and that hunger is put to rest when I give in to the carb cravings.
So what should I do? I already know. I just need to do it. Eat more veggies and protien, which research says leaves you feeling fuller longer. Well I eat my meal. It leaves me statisfied yet in a couple of hours I'm hungry again. Eat a protien and veggie snack. Instead of three meals: three full meals and two to three snacks. And of course address the stressors in my life. bleh!
