Stress eating, I own you.

So, I faced a few speed bumps this week.....

1- It was the first week back with students at school which is always exhausting. It's hard to readjust to getting up at o'dark thirty every morning and being on the go with little humans all day long.
2- Family drama reared its head. Shocker, I know!
3- Dental appointment resulted in me being told I need TWO crowns, to the tune of $622 each.

Ordinarily, my reaction to the above would be to bury myself in the land of brownies and salt & vinegar kettle potato chips (I'm fairly certain stress eating is the major contributor to my current physical status). But, rather than going over to the darkside, I used the Force (aka my Bestie's words of wisdom) to amp up my will power and avoided all snackage, except for occasional 15 calorie, sugar-free Popsicles.

In addition to thwarting the junk food monkey on my back, I managed to fit in 4 days with workouts as well as make a life changing decision that will *fingers crossed* successfully impact my journey to better health.

All things considered, I'm putting this week in the "Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner" category.
