Rain, Work And A Trip To The Gym

Well I did work out today.  It took so much effort to get out and got to the gym.  It was just nasty outside, and I didn't want to go.  However, I feel like I have been doing good, and I really want to continue.  This is living proof I was really there today.  Plus, I have to work tonight and nights are very hard on the diet.  When you are awake for 24 hours straight, overeating is a hard habit to break.  The one thing I always struggle with is how many calories should I eat when awake for that long.  1200 is way too few.  2000 is too many.  I'm aiming for 1700 or so today.  I will see how hungry or not hungry that makes me.  It's three in the afternoon, and I've had 550 calories.....

How Frustrating

Crap. Now it's two days in a row I haven't exercised.  It really hasn't been by choice either.  Yesterday I had an appointment at the MS center for a research study I'm a part of right now.  These appointments take hours.  Because of that, my entire morning until I picked the kids up from preschool was busy.  After school, the gym's childcare is closed until four o'clock.  Then, the girls had ballet, and Josh and I went to the grocery store.  I would have gone to the gym after dinner, but one of the girls from work has a sick child.  Because of that, I was on call all night last night.  I was exhausted when I got home, and I slept all day long.

This morning, I ate 12 donut holes worth 600 calories.  However, I was awake for 24 hours.  How do I count those calories?  I didn't eat poorly at the hospital though.  Does that count for anything?

Now, I'm about to go back to work for the night.  I really just want to exercise.  It's always harder to eat right when I don't exercise.  Oh please let me stay good for the night........
