Yesterday was supposed to be just a salad day, but I picked up some extra items when I stopped by HEB for some lettuce: materials to make mini pizzas and a couple of Snickers bars to satisfy my chocolate craving. I don’t know why I even bothered with the mini pizzas; they never taste like real pizza. And the Snickers bars could have easily been avoided if I had just thought about what I was doing.

The mindfulness aspect of healthy eating seems to have evaporated over the last few months. I make poor eating decisions because I don’t actually deliberate before executing them. I haven’t actually been mindful or deliberate about much lately, to be honest. I seem to be burned out and just going through the motions every day. I don’t yet know how to fix that, but I suspect a big part of it is learning how to manage the stress from my job (or leaving it entirely).

Anyway, I didn’t gain any weight due to yesterday evening’s misadventures, but I didn’t lose any weight, either. I’ve managed to regain about 15 pounds over the past few months, and that trend needs to be reversed soon. I just feel like I need to catch my breath and reorganize but am having a hard time doing that. I feel really run-down every day, and that tends to sap my motivation. I’ll continue to work on rebounding, though, and hopefully I’ll be back on track soon.
