So, today was a bad day... It started out with an unnecessary amount of stress surrounding tires being switched from winter to summer and it was a downward spiral from there. After my tire ordeal, I trudged into work, only to find we were short staffed and I was the lucky fella who was going to be flying solo on my fantastic friday evening shift. A year or two ago I could've predicted how my day would end, with a pit stop in a drive thru to reward myself for managing to get through the day, justifying my excessive intake with a bad day or my stressful job, YADA YADA YADA. I even considered myself an emotional eater and bad days were my green light to indulge in anything my heart desired. Today I didn't pass GO and collect my large sized combo! I haven't been tempted to "emotionally eat" or "stress eat" for quite some time, but today it just wouldn't leave me alone. Yet even though I could've easily justified visiting my favourite McDonald's with the snazzy pop machines where refills aren't monitored like other chain stores, I didn't give in. I channelled my stress and emotional feelings into hitting the gym harder than usual, giving myself that extra "oomph" to lift more, do that extra rep, and increase that incline. I'm still evolving, changing and growing, and bad days are bound to happen, but as long as I stay strong, keep focused and beat the stress eat, I'll be happier and healthier!
