New week's challenge

I managed to journal 6 out of 7 days this week, and I am hoping to succeed in getting all 7 days this time!

Challenges that lie ahead include my nephew's 1st birthday on Sunday. My brother's family is planning a BBQ to celebrate Ben's birthday, which means lots of temptations including snacks, beer and, most importantly, cake! I am hoping to keep my hands busy with Joshua instead of having them stay busy with snacking...

Challenge # 2 will be camping with my friend Holly overnight on Sunday and then an agility trial on Monday (the civic holiday). My aim is to plan ahead on this one. I will certainly be more active during the day, but being outside in the nice weather tends not to be a good thing for me when it comes to eating. Especially when I have less options around! I plan on making a list of things to bring along with me and then "forgetting" my debit card at home so as to lower my chances of buying snacks at the trial.

Joshua is sick and Mark has had to take the afternoon off to take care of him. Ever since finding out he is sick and I am at work, I have felt the urge to eat and I am trying to figure out why. I guess stressful times where things are out of my hands (no mater how competent the person is who IS in control) make me want to eat. Is it a way I feel "in control"? How can something that essentially makes me LOSE control give me comfort? Things for me to think about, I suppose.
