A lovely thought, but life goes on...

My Thanksgiving job is to make cranberry sauce, green beans, and maybe some sort of pumpkin desert. I feel like doing none of it, but I will... I need to get a grip on the mood and pull up NOW.
I need to RUN. I know it makes me feel better; I know it will help ease the affects of a moody teen. I know that it will make the 5 miles I run Thursday morning, a piece of cake. I completed my FIRST weekly 10 mile goal and I am 50% finished my monthly goal of 40 miles which will end Dec 10. I feel good about that - especially since I went out and ran a mile Saturday afternoon so that I would make the 10 miles... Running today and Thursday will make week #2 an easy feat! One foot in front of the other....
My diet is not bad, but not where I want it to be. I ate nuts (again) yesterday. It was partly out of necessity, but I still felt like I was doing something I shouldn't. When I choose to alter my diet I should embrace it and not feel guilty about it. I think it needs to be a conscious decision, not a thoughtless impulse. Picking up the package at the store was not thoughtful; neither was eating it all up.
I want to make sure that I don't return to the habit of stress eating. I want to find other outlets when that feeling hits. I know this time of year is stressful for most people and every year I try to figure out how I can organize my life so that stress is not a factor. Every year I find it nearly impossible, but it doesn't mean I won't continue to try.
