Something Had To Give

Here I am. I disappeared for a few days because of all the chaos at home. Something had to give, and this was one of the things I let slide. I've had a rough few days eating-wise. My home life has been turned upside down. When things are out of sorts, I can so easily turn to food for comfort and escape. I am much better than I used to be, but I still sought solace in food Friday night when my house was still without power. I was tired from a crazy week and ready to relax. The work was suppose to be finished at 5pm, at which time they told me they needed 2 or 3 more hours. I tried to entertain myself by running errands and visiting a friend. Finally at 9pm I returned home to a dark house and 3 electricians wearing headlamps, working feverishly to get it up and running. They estimated two more hours to completion. I drove to Publix and bought a box of Dove Bars (3 per box). I sat in my truck in the driveway and ate two of them. At 11pm, the lights came on, and I was finally able to get back into my house. My messy, dusty, turned-upside-down house.

I spent the entire weekend putting the house back together and working the punch-list of items to be completed before I can list this house for sale. Getting closer, but still not ready yet.

I think I did better with my eating on Saturday and Sunday; I didn't keep track of what I ate, but for the most part I chose good foods - no junk. Today I'm back to writing it all down. Things are still crazy around here, and I need to go to the grocery store as you'll see from my food choices today. Something still has to give -- a perfect diet and a perfect house ain't happening. But I'm doing the best that I can.
