So I had my period today (Did I start this whole blog in a whirlwind of hormones? Maybe. No reason why that should be cause to not take forward.)
The apps uninstalled from my phone keep trying to make a reappearance when I am on my laptop. I must admit I watched an episode of The Office today itself. It is my standard indulgence when I want to be able to reign in the bingeing because I have already watched the entire series twice so there is no curiosity that will push me off the “one episode more” cliff.
I went on a walk with the husband today — the Good Man initiated it, considering I made such a big deal about this new resolution and was seen making little to no physical movement throughout the day. Clocked in 4000 steps today. Apparently, doctors advise diabetics to clock in 10000 a day so I am not sure how happy I am entitled to feel about this little achievement of mine.
On the bright side, it is nearly 10pm now. I am in bed, typing this blog on my laptop instead of watching a show on it. The thought of ordering a cake entered my mind as the episode of The Office I was on showed Andy ordering a blueberry muffin and I could almost taste it in my mouth. In fact, my mouth is choc-full of water as I type this. Hopeless.
Another new thing I have started towards achieving this goal has been to get back into therapy. And one of the big things my therapist said during our first session back was that I need to limit the negative self-talk.
To that end, congratulations are perhaps in order for surviving another 10pm. So far. (Fingers crossed for the rest of the night!)
