And I am back....

So, after a very long and emotionally draining trip to Texas, I have returned and am getting back on track. As we went with my parents, the whole trip seemed centered around food. The problem is the only meal I could "skip" was breakfast, and only then if we were in the hotel. If I don't eat my parents drive me INSANE. So I am sure that I am still working away that weight, rather than on the old weight I was working on before.

However, I did get back in the swing of things yesterday. I had stayed away from exercising right after I returned as I was having some sort of kidney problems, which is not unusual for me, I just deal with them, but I didn't want to make them any worse, so I just took it easy for a few days.

I did get on the treadmill for 15 minutes yesterday and 15 minutes already today! I will lift weights later, and hope to get back on treadmill after work.

My Valentine's day was good, we didn't do much, but that is pretty normal around here, and I was so exhausted that it was fine with me!

Anyway, back to work. I am not going to weigh this week, but I am going to get back on the wagon and I will be weighing in next Tuesday.

Going on a trip

As you may have noticed, I have fallen off the wagon with my posting. Well. I have really fallen off with everything. The week started out okay, but not great. I did okay on my "diet" but only got on the treadmill once.

However, on Wednesday I got word that my granddaddy had passed away and everything went to shit. I am greatful to my dh as he has been awesome, but I am moving in a fog. We leave for Texas tomorrow (Saturday), the funeral is Tuesday and we come home Wednesday. Hopefully I can get somewhat back on track by next weekend. This is my last computer access for almost a week, so please take care and all of that.

And the number is....

245.4. Dang it! Well, I am not shocked, and I know I will get there. It always seems that the more I diet the more stressful my life gets and that sucks! Oh well. I will get on the treadmill today after I finish work, pick up my daughter from cheerleading, and go to a meeting about an hour away. That will get me home at 10 and I can work out until 1045 or something. Lol. I have to keep telling myself that this is the life I have chosen to live, now I have to learn how to be healthy and live it.

More tomorrow!

Stress = Food

So, this weekend was mostly a bust, and I didn't work out today either. I have lots of excuses, but the fact is I just didn't and I should have. Tomorrow is my official weigh in and I am going to bet I am up rather than down. Oh well, I can't be perfect.

I have some serious stress in my life, and it is a day to day thing. I found that when I am with my parents, as I was this weekend, I eat a LOT more than usual. Add to that my grandfather is in a coma and dying, and we are trying to get together to go down to his funeral and sitting on pins and needles waiting for news, and my food intake goes WAY up.

On a positive note, I did work out on the Wii at my parents on Saturday and racked up 20 minutes of excercise. I decided that I want one as it would definitely help me vary my routine a little, and it was so much FUN! Crazy thing.

Anyway, I missed posting yesterday, and I think Saturday, but my days are all mixed up right now. So it is back to the program, with my best effort. I can do this and I CAN'T let life get in my way.
