I am an emotional eater (and and update)

I know I have not posted in a while. With having a car accident, holidays, work, and a lot of personal stress I have really not been motivated.  I am working out once or twice a week. My eating is not bad, but not great either....I am going to the doctor today and hopefully he will give me something to help with some of the physical things that have been going on (will explain later).

I came to the realization recently that unless a miracle happens I will not be walking the Music City Half Marathon. I have not given up hope on walking a half marathon while I am 30, but to be ready by April does not look like it is happening.  I am not being pessimistic, but being realistic. I think I will be able to run a 5k in the next few months which I am getting excited about.

I also realize that I eat when I am emotional....and lately this has been happening a lot.  I try to find healthy foods, but sometimes convenient foods are better.  Trying to stop this, but it is a constant struggle. Trying to replace my eating with other things....will see how this goes.

Think I am done for now. Blogging on both sites I am try to do better at. Seems like I blog more when I have a lot going on in my head, we shall see......

Snacks

Just back from vacation and my workouts did not go as planned....they did not go at all. I did do a lot of walking in the hot sun and spent an entire day in the hot sun where I felt like I melted off 20 pounds from the heat alone. I did continue to eat pretty well. I stayed away from fried foods, had small portions, and tried to pick healthy choices at the restaurants that we went too....which was not always easy.  I am truly afraid to step on the scale when I get to work this morning, but I will try. JESUS!!!

This morning I did not work out because it took all of me just to get ready for work, but tomorrow I WILL do at least 3 miles on the treadmill....have to get back to moving!! One thing that I did think about and learn while on the trip, or rather practice, is really incorporating small snacks into my day. Pictured below are some snacks that I have grown to enjoy and that are easy to eat on the go.

This is great frozen! Key Lime Pie is my favorite

I am not a big fan of nuts, but I do enjoy almonds.

A favorite fruit of mine, I like to freeze these too.

Great snack on the go or with breakfast.

These are just a few snacks that I like. I am up for suggestions.  I have to now finish getting ready for work...Today is going to be a great day (was about to say long, but trying to stay positive)!!!
