Fit and Happy

And I got thrown into the windshield of my bus when some idiot tried to cut off the bus and the busdriver had to slam on her brakes.

But I’m okay. Just a little bruised and sore and trying-not-to-tighten-uppish.

Well, I’m in a funk and not doing well in terms of either keeping track of what I’m stuffing in my face or of eating healthfully/moving. Have not done the asthma treatments in two days, even though the health authorities are all calling for alerts on the current ozone levels for people with asthma. Have not paid bills in way too long. Dang. Depression or just hormones?

So am not recording yesterday. It wasn’t horrible, I guess. I had yogurt for breakfast, a cheese stick for a snack, the other half of my sub for lunch, and two slices of pizza for supper (with a small glass of pinot noir). No moving of note, beyond a 20-min walk to the pool and some paddlign around in there.

I am not even going to try to weigh myself today. Can’t even face my little Wii friend….

Sn (4:30 PM): 2 fig newtons, water

S (8 PM): diet Dr. pepper, 2 slices cold cheese pizza

From Tuesday:

What does ’summertime’ mean to me anymore? I feel wistful about it. Used to be endless days, a chance to get BORED. Now it’s rushing by and I don’t feel summer-immersed.

How can I address that? I’ve got to work. I’m saving days out of the office for all of the health stuff for my mom and BF. But maybe I’m being pennywise and pound foolish. It’s so hard to know….. After that week out to care for my mom, I felt absolutely overwhelmed by the backlog here. And, of course, the days before I left were filled with manic work activity trying to get ahead. Stuff like paying bills has fallen by the wayside, which leaves me with a pit of anxiety.

The scale says 129 again this morning. Maybe I’ve hit a new steady point, around 130 instead of 135? I would be very happy if that’s the case!

Being able to look back through this blog and see in black-and-white where I’ve been has been soooo helpful. The steps that look so very small when I’ve just taken them look long as I look back and see how much farther along I am now.
