Snack-free, Day 1 of 30: My cheatin’ heart (and stomach)

I cheated again a bit today, basically the same as yesterday, with a few crackers and a Clif Bar.

But I also went on my first 5K run in awhile, so I burned a few calories there. I’m calling it even because I can.

Somewhat to my surprise, my weight was down 0.3 pounds this morning. I am close once again to where I was at the start of the year, so here’s hoping tomorrow continues the downward trend.

You may have noticed that the last two days of cheating have also been the start of the work week. This is not a coincidence, as I am not particularly enjoying my work these days. I am trying to be positive and research other careers and look into other job opportunities instead of just being perpetually frustrated and enduring where I am now. Having the self-awareness that I am doing that snacking-as-comfort-food thing will hopefully make it easier to slap my hand away from the box of crackers that calls to me with its sweet and crunchy voice.
