UN-healthy Foods.

For the past few days, I haven't tracked anything. I've been eating what I feel like eating and haven't been treating my body the way it needs to be treated.

It's been a long time since I've done this. It's not really binging, although I'm not waiting until I'm hungry to eat, it's just falling back into my old self. The person who ate junk food just because it was there. I'm trying to pinpoint exactly what it is and I can't quite figure it out.

My WI on Friday was pretty good, I ate my normal food at work, but had to skip eating my salad since no one else took a lunch, I didn't want to be the only one who had to take a break. Once I left work, I was starving, but had to go to get gas, which isn't on the way home around here. When I got in the car, there was a tornado watch for up North. Awesome. That's where Mr. Skinny is. So I call him to make sure he's okay, he doesn't answer so I left him a voicemail. Sort of weird since he was off at 5, and it was after 5 when I left, but not totally strange. I go to get gas and text him. No response. Okay, I have Mobile Me on his iPhone, so I can find his location. Let's try that. Can't find it. Starting to get nervous now. I call again, it rings, but he doesn't answer and it goes to voicemail.... I'm still starving, and I'm starting to get a little nervous.

The best answer? Stop for Chinese, of course. Right. General Tso's, fried rice and egg drop soup later, Mr. Skinny calls me to tell me his phone broke. Seriously? Of all days, his phone had to break the day there are tornado warnings where he works. His iPhone got wet because they were stuck in the rain, and we think it shorted out. That's why Mr. Skinny has insurance for his phone. Not a big deal, he stopped at Best Buy yesterday and ordered a new phone. They gave him a prepaid phone in the meantime, and he'll have a new phone by Friday.

Anyways, that's definitely where my unhealthy eating started this weekend. Yesterday I made myself eggs for breakfast, then followed it up with a green monster. Okay start, right? It all went downhill from there, I had my leftover Chinese, and all it ate it all until I was stuffed, then agreed to go to Red Robin with Mr. Skinny a few hours later, where I ate half my Whiskey River BBQ chicken wrap, clam chowder and Mr. Skinny's fries. Washed down with 2 freckled lemonades. Oh, Friday we went for ice cream, too.

I think I need a break from tracking my food, worrying about if I met my vitamins for the day, etc. I've been (mostly) diligently counting since the end of April and I think I just need a break. I don't think it's the stress from baby makin' - I really don't get stressed too easily. It's a little unnerving that I don't know anything, but I know it's in God's hands, not mine. I'd love a vacation, too, but seeing as Mr. Skinny only gets one day off each week (Sunday), and that's his day to work on our lot and everything, we don't really have the time to get away. I just have to appreciate the time I spend with him when I get to and take care of myself. Get myself in prime baby makin' condition.

Sorry for the Debbie Downer post. I want to be honest on this blog, and that's how this weekend has gone so far.
