Steps in the right direction

Well, I had volleyball practice after school yesterday. Didn't work as hard as other practices because most of my team was gone to a science thing at a high school. So, I made a plan that when I got home I would have dinner and then go for a walk and I did. I walked about a mile.

I had an unsettling dream last night and woke up feeling stressed, worried and not all that great. So, I drove to school (45 min drive) and then stopped at the store to get some apples for my students today. In a horrible fit of weakness, I bought some combos, reduced fat pringles and twinkies. On the 2 min drive between the store and school, I ate one of the twinkies. When I got to school, I took the box and gave it to the secretary to donate to the after school day care program here at school. It made me feel so much better, that I haven't even opened the other two things I bought and I think I can handle them in a better mood than I was before. I'm still worried and stressed, but won't abuse food in the process.

Today is volleyball practice again and I know I will work a bit harder today. When I get home, I may still take a walk, but I also have laundry to do and finish getting my room ready for my grandma's visit.
