Stress Starved

The boyfriend&I have been

House Hunting lately.

It's a lot more stressful

than you'd imagine from HGTV.

And

when I'm stressed

I tend not to eat.

Some people "Stress Eat"

well...

I guess I "Stress Starve"

because I completely lose my appetite

when I'm under emotional pressure.

I'm not complaining, though.

A lack of desire to munch is perfect

I just wish my brain functioned properly

without to food I forget to eat.

.Me on Saturday morning.
...if only my big-fat-arms would go away...

Cupcake Lesson

I discovered a cupcake shop

down the street from my office

and couldn't resist going inside.

I picked the Strawberry Cupcake

because I decided the fruit made it "healthy."

Then I cut off a chunk for the boyfriend to try.

It honestly wasn't that good,

so I'm glad I didn't eat it all...

but I still wasted some calories

on some unnecessary dessert.

 .Lesson Learned.

Mia Monster

I've been a MiaMonster lately.

I haven't even been eating that poorly.

A little treat here

something naught there

but no major binges...

yet, after ingesting something as minimalistic

as a salad

I head to the bathroom

turn on the shower

and throw everything up.

I just can't seem to stop myself.

I feel so much better once I've done it,

whether the food was worth getting rid of or not.

Side Effects:

I'm not gaining weight.

I'm not losing weight.

...and...

I've got sores in&around my mouth.

Damnit.

How gross.

I really do need to stop.

Day 180-181

Intake:
Apples
Yogert
(obviously I didn't last through lent)
Pickles
Cookie Dough
Chex Mix
Eggs

Exercise:
Jogging on Stairs

Net: Not Too Bad.

Slowly Dropping

Woohoo!

Not only did I have a healthy dinner on Friday

but I also worked out on Saturday morning

and behaved myself despite a weekend with my

sometimes-naughty-family.

I weighed in on my mom's scale at 125.2lbs.

Pretty good considering her scale is right on track

with the doctor's scale.

Can't complain about that weight.

I'm not dropping like I'd like, 

but slow-and-steady wins the race.

Good Choices

I took a little roadtrip by myself this weekend

and had to get my own roadside dinner.

Fast food tempted me

A LOT

(some Arby's Mozz Sticks sounded AWESOME)

but, I behaved

reluctantly

and stopped at a grocery store

for some low-sodium deli meat

and a big, juicy apple.

.Good Girl.
