Yesterday was a rest day. I was tired, cranky and sore and could not face the idea of more exercise. I didn't even bother setting my alarm! It was nice to take a day and recover from the physical stress of training. I set the alarm this morning though to get up for a circuit, but when I tried to move Todd decided he needed to cuddle and I was much too tired to fight it. I ended up getting an extra hour of sleep instead. Hopefully when I get home from work tonight there will be time for a run. I don't want to miss two days in one week.
I realised something important yesterday that I hadn't been aware of before. I am a stress eater. Work is probably the most full-on it's ever been at the moment and I have done nothing but eat constantly for the last couple of weeks. I didn't realise that I was using food as a way to deal with stress. It's a bit of a scary thought! Good news is that I realise it now and can do something about it. I'm making a concerted effort today to avoid the good foods (and by good I mean the disgustingly fatty, sugary and tasty foods) and stick to the healthy foods. I'm hoping that being aware of the problem will be enough to control it, but I'm not confident... Wish me luck!
