Today was better than yesterday. Still drama drama drama that I am sooo hoping will be over soon. But I have to say my morning workout (Jillian's 30 day shred video) is a savior because it keeps my mood and emotional strength up too, helps me face the challenges of the day. These last two nights though, I have been extremely emotionally exhausted by evening, and I have to admit as strong as I have been feeling, I still feel wiped out, and I have had a hard time motivating for evening walks. It's 9pm now, and I would like for hubby to go with for at least a quick walk so I keep the habit up.
So that not all is dreary, drama and depressing. I do celebrate the good stuff: We have a wonderful new amazing nurse who has taken over the day schedule of caring for my parents. She's wonderful!!! She handles crazy situations calmly and comes up with wonderful solutions. And today, she and I worked out solutions to a stressful situation that made my father happy too-- which made me happy.
I also celebrate that most of my cravings are just little tiny distant whispers. Even when tempted again and was offered "Whoppers", I only took three even when more fell into my hand, I gave all back but three. What am I NUTS?? Anyway, it wasn't hard at all this time. I think just knowing I have that bowl of icecream waiting for me after dinner, I can refuse all other temptations. The other night, I didn't even feel like having the icecream-- that's amazing.
DH also made me a wonderful homemade pizza that was healthier. TONS of sodium though. BOOO! But it tasted great. I also had a light beer to wind down, but I am now beginning to know without counting calories (though I still do) when I am reaching my limit. So I celebrate that becoming second nature.
I DID think I lost another pound but I realized that was before my morning workout when I drink tons of water. When I went back to weigh myself after the workout (like I normally do) my weight it was a pound heavier, so I did not lose another pound. BOOO! But that's okay...tomorrow is another day...and so is the next day.
I'm starting to get nervous now waking up as I am afraid of what the day will bring with life stuff, (just beginning to be a longer bout of stressful situations regarding my parents health that is making me a bit more anxious than I would like) but at least I do feel in control with food and exercise. I am not overdoing it, but doing it at a pace that I can live with long-term and each week, I make better and better choices with food and exercise.
