We can do it! Having said that, can you share with me your strategies for dealing with stress at work. Mine this week was to overeat for 3 days in a row. If you wish to read further, I shared some details below. When I started a week ago I was really moving! 12,000 steps each day except for one. I thought, "Ok! This is not hard. I really eat pretty well, all I have to do is move more everyday." I was inspired by my sister Sara's idea about doing it for the love of moving and "treating" myself well with extra movement! Then, a few days ago I was given a new assignment at a more distant location. I felt overwhelmed by the new workload I'm now facing. I notice that I used food to soothe myself. The last three days I didn't eat well. For two of those days I let the walking go down to about 5,000 steps instead of my goal of 12,000. The good news is that I weighed myself last night and I'm still down 1.4 pounds. I'm also more accountable for my actions because I'm taking time to notice them and to share them here. It is Saturday, I'm resetting my intention to meet my movement and eating-well goal again this weekend and through next week. I'll check in here at least 2-3 times next week to stay accountable for how I'm handling the stress. Hooray for us!
