Today was a stressful day.  I had to deal with something that has been a pain in my side for several months now and it left me in tears and very angry.  Being an emotional eater, I normally would have headed to the closest McDonalds, ordered 4 cheeseburgers, one large fry and a large McFlurry to top off my sorrow.  I didn't do that though.  Instead I got in my car and drove.  I ended up at a mall and while I know that replacing one vice with another isn't a very healthy thing to do, so I was hesitant to go binge shopping.  Instead I called a friend and we met for lunch.  I didn't overeat.  Instead I used her as a sounding board and vented my frustration.

I did go shopping afterwards but I was in a much better frame of mind and ended up spending far less than I would have if I had gone straight into stress shopping mode.  I did end up eating some chocolate today, but it was after I was calmed down.

For exercise today I will be doing an arm, leg and abs workout this evening.  Here are the links that I'll be using as inspiration for my workout tonight.

Abs

I should also mention that I did an hour of cardio at the gym last night, 30 minutes on the bike and 30 on the elliptical.  I was quite proud of myself.

This week, I hope to keep motivated and get my eating a bit more under control.  I've had something sweet to eat for the last few days and I need to get out of the habit of having junk every day.  Yes, once in a while is fine, but every day is not.
