I'm shocked at how much things have changed in only a little over 2 months. Not only do I not eat the massive piles of free food at work now (and seriously, there's ALWAYS free food at work. ALWAYS.), but I don't even have a desire TO eat it.
For example, this morning was bagels. Normally I would've been all nom, nom, bagels yum! (If you've ever lived on the east coast near NYC you know bagels are amazing here.) But by the time they were out all I'd already had breakfast, wasn't hungry for lunch and the site of all that bread didn't appeal to me. So I skipped them. Nothing to it.
Had lunch as normal, a snack then headed up to MBA happy hour near school. I should point out that I had to walk around a little looking for an ATM and I ended up passing the Grease Trucks. Now, the Grease Trucks are famous, they make these concoctions called Fat Sandwiches (mainly because they're horrible for you and make you fat since the fries are pretty much ON the sandwich.) If you don't know what a "Fat Darrell" is, go look it up. I do have to admit the smell kinda got to me when I was walking by (it smells like a carnival if that makes any sense from all the grease) but the idea of eating a sandwich the size of my arm really held no appeal. I'm not exaggerating btw, the sandwiches are massive.
Got to the (much nicer) place we were meeting for happy hour and ended up only having a rum and diet coke (I have class in the morning and lately alcohol doesn't agree with me in the quantities it used to.) Then I ordered a chicken sandwich with a salad. My first response when it came out "That's a lot of food". I ended up eating half the sandwich, just the chicken from the other half and maybe half the salad. And I was full. Got another diet coke (without the rum this time) to sip on while we talked.
And now, well, my head hurts. I don't think it's the rum as I've been battling a headache all day and I KNOW I'm tired. I left at 9:30 (some friends were heading to another bar but there was no way I could go bar hopping tonight) and came home.
A few months ago, I would've had the bagel at work with extra cream cheese, a few drinks at the bar and probably the damn fat sandwich and not thought about it much. Now, I don't even WANT that stuff. I know that a fat sandwich would probably make me sick these days as I found myself blotting the grease off pizza last week. (I've NEVER done that before but it just made sense in the moment, I looked at it, it looked greasy so I blotted.) For maybe the first month I had to tell myself NOT to eat crap, now any desire/craving for it is pretty much gone. Which just amazes me.
I had times when I'd drink a bottle of wine myself at home sometimes. I drink so rarely anymore that I'm pretty much only a social drinker and with the exception of winefests and a few times I've misjudged (going by my old tolerance which used to be sky high) I haven't been drunk. A glass of wine is great, I still love wine but I'm pretty much satisfied with one glass when I have it. I don't even want the dessert wines I used to love either, most of them are really way too sweet. I remember I tried to tell the friends I used to eat with this and they just couldn't understand it but when you're NOT eating dessert all the time and nine billion things of junk and when you even down on artificial sweeteners, super sweet dessert wines are really really too sweet. They're sickeningly so. (Of course, one of the same people who couldn't understand that also wanted to buy a giant pixie stick when I went shopping with her so I can see how she can't get that.)
I really haven't done much in the last week of official workouts due to time/lack of sleep (see the mention of the headache above from being overtired) but I do miss it. I feel out of shape actually, the stairs at work don't seem as easy anymore. (Although that might also be due to being extremely tired.) Going to try to see what I can do to fit a few workouts either in the morning or after class next week. Thankfully in three weeks my schedule will go down to class only 2 days a week, and that'll allow a much saner kind of life.
Affirmations for today:
1) Choices spiral, good choices make it easier to make more good choices. Bad choices make it easier to make more bad choices. Every good choice leads to the next one.
2) I am creating a wonderful life for myself every day with every effort I put in for my health, my career and at school.
3) I am proud of what I've accomplished this far, I have come a very long way.
