I tweeted this Instagram awhile ago, and one of my Tweeps said:
“You have a Flashdance room to yourself! Dance, girl, dance!”
That cracked me up.
But I’m definitely having a non-dance-girl-dance type of day. This morning, I had a great four mile run, but it’s been a draining day. The draining day actually started on Saturday evening, and has slowly drained more and more out of me each day. Coupled with my ride yesterday, I am fork tender.
My resolve was crushed last night, and before I knew it, I found myself standing in front of the pantry and eating. Stand. Reach. Grab. Open. Stuff in face. For at least ten minutes.
Stress eating. Today was not that much better. I had such a great last week nutrition-wise. The stress is not looking like it will be alleviated in the next few days, so I have to nip this garbage in the bud.
I may untangle some coat hangers and self-wire my mouth shut.
Now, that would be the time I’d run into my Ironwoman. Wired mouth. “Mmmmmmm mmm m mmmm mmm.” Pointing, gesturing, making running motions, bicycling…. “Mmmmm mmmm m mmmmm mm.”

I'm struggling with making good food choices right now too. There's so much holiday food around. Please don't wire your jaw shut!
If I do, I bet you'd do a badass drawing for me…. just sayin. 🙂
No coat hangers!! I doubt your Ironwoman will want to ride tandem if you look like a character from a bad 1988 sci-fi/horror flick.
Don't beat yourself up too much. That will only compound the stress. If it helps, the first thing that sprang to mind when this post opened was how fit you looked in the pic. I was a little jealous.
Hang in there girl. You can do it. I struggle with my eating to. It is going to be even harder when I make these brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and peanut butter cookies this week for me to had out around town!
