My supper of day 10 was not good but it actually started earlier. I knew I had wanted to go to our local high school basketball game. To do this, eat supper and walk or run some I would have to rush after work. So abruptly at 4:35pm I left work after working 8.5 hours, drove a bit faster home, quickly saw a left over bowl of popcorn from Debbie last night, so thought, yea, I could just eat 2 small sandwiches and popcorn instead of my regular supper...why??...this would save time.
So, I gabbed a couple handfulls of popcorn and went walking the dogs with debbie at the trails. it was sunny day for a change so we decided on the north trail but the wind was stronger than it appeared so it was abit chilly, we walked fast!!, then we decided to take a shortcut over to another trail back to the car..all the while walking I was thinking, was I going to the b-ball game or not....and do I have time to eat, watch some news....etc. etc.
Normally, my evening run/walk is easy and to relax from my day at work, it can be short as 20 mins...but tonight I was in a RUSH.
So, when I'm in a rush, I eat quick and easy stuff, so that is what I did, 2 sandwichs of bread wraped around a bison hotdog, with the rest of popcorn. This was high in salt, so to get that taste out of my mouth I had a few peanut m&m's, then a couple Reeses heart shaped pieces, boy, after not having anything like this they were very sweet, almost sickening....of course, now I had too much of a sugar taste so I topped it off with a couple pieces of bison bacon.
I then sit down intened to NOT go to the game, I felt not good....so I quickly decided I better go to the game so I would not continue to eat.
I went to the game and did not eat anymore before bed but today was a reminder of how rushing around after work trying to do everything, quickly puts me back to "quick" eating and for me , means BAD eating. I must continue to learn to relax, slow down, and eat without rushing.
Tomorrow is a new day to get back on track.
Lesson learned. Slow down. These are good insights...or at least reminders of past knowledge and bad behaviors. One day off isn't bad. You'll bounce back. Stick in there.
