decent day 38

Decent Day 38

Food

B: 16 oz 2% latte
L: 1/2 chicken salad sandwich (chicken, celery, apples, mayo, mustard, sprouts, lettuce) on whole grain (see picture)
Ex: run 5 crappy miles (I was so thirsty, so overheating, so tired on this run. it sorta sucked the whole way and I almost just stopped running. I probably should have jsut stopped running.)
D: other half of the sandwich from lunch + 1 cup lentil soup

thoughts:
no calorie counting
i feel like my mind, which was being bombarded with ED thoughts, was clearer today
body image still worse than normal, but improved from the previous days.
calm around food
chose things i wanted even though they were higher in calorie (2% over skim. chicken salad sandwich over plain turkey)
an ease of eating
I woke up wanting to binge, so I'm glad that didn't happen

I typed out my food diary to send to tracy tonight and I realized that this was one of the most disordered weeks for me (mentally) in a while. I also realized that there was more food than normal on some days and less on others, making the week, overall, pretty inconsistent.

I'm back in CA now. I'll be here for a little bit (have to work), and then I'll be back in Michigan with my gramma.

  2. Hey! Yeah, I have heard from the guy. He e-mailed me and said "It was great getting to know you. I hope to hear from you soon and hope we are able to keep in touch despite the distance." Then he continued to tell me about a Christmas sweater party he went to, at which he won "tackiest christmas sweater." I haven't e-mailed him back yet, but I hae to!
