This has happened to me several times lately, and it happened again this afternoon.  I found myself eating because I thought I was hungry.  Hmmmmm.  Still hungry.  So ate some more.  Hmmmm, still FEELING hungry.

When I take a minute to evaluate the situation, I realize that, hmmmm, maybe, JUST MAYBE i wasn’t actually HUNGRY at all - but THIRSTY!

I take a long drink of water and presto - that “hunger” feeling is GONE!

How often do we confuse hunger with thirst?  I think lately I’ve been doing it A LOT!  this is going to be a focus for me over the next few weeks.  i drink lots of water every day (some more than others) and take multiple water bottles with me to work daily but I think I can do even better :)

Other notes:  ate bad yesterday and today.  not worried about it.  LOVE the fact that even though my scale was up a little this morning i felt GREAT and thought i LOOKED great!

going to the grocery store first thing tomorrow morning and am ready to get back to better eating after two lax days.

i was a lazy bum today.  woke up at 4 to prep sub plans, took them into work, laid around til I had to go to the dr.  drove to lincoln (that’s where my dr. is), did the dr. thing, drove back to omaha and OHMYGOSH was soooo tired!  i fell asleep from 2:30-4:30.  Went to work to prep stuff for tomorrow’s sub, now i’m babysitting.  i have a TON i want to get done tomorrow….can’t wait to cross things off my “to do” list :)  yeah, you’ll notice that today didn’t involve any sort of work out.  oh well.  it is what it is. 

two days off in a row!?!?!  took a sick day today for the drs. appnt.  using my last personal day tomorrow.  i could get used to this :)  if only i had a job where i get months off at a time….oh wait…i do :)
