Family Coming for a Visit

This coming week, I'm going to be having family over for a few days. That has boosted my stress level on top of the PMS thing I have going on. What does that cause? Well, for some people, stress makes them eat less. For me, I find that I eat more and I eat foods that are not good for me either. For example, I choose the fried fish over the broiled. I choose French fries over apple slices. I choose chocolate over a protein shake. If I had a futures broker for all the weight I might gain over the next week, just because of stress, I think they'd make me rich.

However, since I know this, I'm going to put forth as much effort as possible to refrain from making bad food choices. I have been exercising more and that's good, but the PMS blues and tiredness seem to be combating my efforts. Anyway, you don't need to be discouraged. I know you know what I'm talking about here. Let's just make a firm plan of doing it right this coming week. That's my plan.

I met my goal last week and exercised four out of five days, Monday through Friday. That's a plus in the right direction. Now to just keep it up. I've done Taebo, Salsa dancing, gardening, cleaning, you name it, I called it exercise. I'm proud of myself. Haven't lost any weight since my food choices haven't been all that great, so next week I'll try to work on that as a new goal along with better food choices. How have you been this past week?
