Tuesday Tabata!

I missed my regular classes last week.  Excited to get back to Tabata today (I'll miss Friday b/c of work).

Speaking of which ... resignations had it's ups and downs, but ended with ups.  I'm so relieved.  HUGE weight off my shoulders.  Five more shifts.  Yesterday was a grueling day - supports my need to change things up - back, neck, body worn to a nub.

Relief of stress = want to celebrate = want to eat junk.

I'm in a good place right now.  I acknowledged the feeling, understood "why" and ate my normal dinner.  Well done ME!

I need to be a bit careful.  I'm starting to get slightly obsessed with being "on-plan" and slightly fearful of going off.  As though going off will slide me back to immediate pants-too-tight mode. I have said before - the best part this time is not having the mental beat-down every day.  I eat well.  I'm proud.  I have no regrets.  My mind is at peace.

I'm afraid allowing treats will undermine my peace - because one becomes two - two becomes three ... you get the picture.  How do I moderate ... REALLY moderate ... not cycle between on and off.

W30 book on the very subject is out in October.

Leaving work = change = busting up my good routine.  I MUST be diligent during this transition.  My Happiness Project is not a sit on the sofa and get fat project.  I'm really looking forward to planning MHP.  Some things are taking shape (I'll write about this later).  It's exciting!!  I was too tired yesterday to read the book, but will finish it before work is done.

Okay folks.  That's my story today.
