I slept in today so breakfast was late, then I had the mid-morning snack, and the afternoon snack, and went straight to early dinner at 5:30pm. The meals were all according to plan but I missed lunch. Looks like I need to establish a "lunch hour" for myself. Today I was on the phone and lost track of time, and I didn't want to eat lunch too close to dinner. It's easy to see how a series of stacked seemingly inconsequential decisions can snowball on you.
The word for the day - "resilience". We bounce back quicker than we think we can if we put the effort in. My self-inflicted nemesis is that I want to see measurable results immediately instead of focusing on the smaller elements of each success. Why oh why are we so hard on ourselves???
I took a walk outside this afternoon, opting to walk to the mailbox instead of driving. The crunching snow and hues of pink and blue above the frosty treetops were a nice break from "Outlook". It felt great to get some crisp, clean air my lungs in the middle of the day.
When I had an 8 to 5 office job I used to walk on my lunch hour a few times a week - a good practice that I will work on reinstating this week! Baby steps...
