Oh, hey. I forgot to add what I figured out this morning.
See, last night I worked the high school baseball game at school (we are ranked in the top 10 w/Baseball America and the top 25 w/USA Today, so we're pretty good) and initially I was scheduled to go out for a drink, but those plans fell through.
Knowing this, I decided to stop off and have beer and wings for dinner. I wasn't motivated to hustle home and get ready, so I did the "stop off" instead.
Well, this morning, it kind of hit me that I was a bit down by the changed plans and instead of hitting the gym and eating well last night, I cashed in the chips, threw the diet out the window and drank a few beers. This isn't normally bad, but it seems to me that I did this because I was disappointed which is a bit of a red flag.
I need to be more aware of this and work on fighting through my disappointments and as a result, continue to go off on my day as planned and avoid "endulging myself" for comfort.
See, today I'm really tired (not hungover as I didn't drink NEAR enough to be close to drunk), but if I'd have done as I originally planned, or hit the gym after my original plans fell through, I would have been feeling much more alert right now.
So, it is a good thing to recognize and I can hope to act on it sooner in the future as I continue to learn, grow, and live my new life.
