Challenges, challenges and more challenges
School is cancelled again today which probably isn’t too bad since I’m quite weepy today due to the anniversary (see last post if you don’t know what I’m talking about). On the other hand, though, it leaves me with a lot of unstructured time that could easily be filled by eating. I have a call into my sister-in-law who is also our babysitter to see if she could still take the kids for the day. This way I can keep myself busy, finish up things for Christmas and get in a workout. The roads where we live are fine so I’m not worried about driving and I think a day to myself would be a good idea. But so far I’m still running strong with the eating and I also figured out why I was so hungry lately, my period showed up today. Since my hubby has had a vasectomy I haven’t kept good track of my cycle so it tends to sneak up on me. Hopefully this will subdue the beast that was my hunger for the last few days.
You have really had a hard year, I am really sorry to hear about your son.
I admire your strength in dealing with your weight now. And I get where you’re coming from. When I had my most successful weight loss was when I was at my most stressed professionally and personally, and I felt like the one thing I could control was what I put in my mouth, and the one outlet I had was exercise. It worked for me, and I permanently lost over 50 pounds (now trying to get even lower).
Hugs to you. Do be gentle with yourself if you slip up a bit in the coming days, however…
