2 more pounds lost!! Yippee!!! But geesh,it took a longer this time due to falling off the wagon a couple of times and getting crazy busy for a few days and not sticking to my routine, but I did pick myself back up after and restart. I had to restart a couple of times, but that's okay.
I'm so excited. DH said we'll throw a little party when I reach 20 pounds. That will be fun--- ALL healthy food of course!
My biggest challenge will be starting on Friday as I have to take over for my folks caregivers for 12 days. My husband will take over my business duties, so I don't have to worry about that.
My brother will be joining me so we can care for my mother and father together. Between laying out clothes for my mother, cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner, doctor's appointments, errands, balancing their checkbook, bills and paperwork, and putting on my "patience" cap for the extreme repetitive issues all day due to both of their memory challenges, I will be up to my eyeballs. I will also have to have my brother hide my mother's chocolate stash from me as I have no control over hershey bars.
I will HAVE to make time for my workout. Thank goodness my brother is healthy and will be very understanding about that.
I may not be able to journal, but I will still enter in my calories and exercise.
It's gonna be a tough couple of weeks especially since I am pretty sure dad may be permanently losing his driver's license as he's getting lost and he forgot what the house looked like the other day according to the caregiver. I can't imagine the DMV passing him...they shouldn't. SO this Monday may be his last driving day. So sad for him..Best for his safety and for the safety of everyone on the road, but so very very sad for him. This will tear him up.
This is when I would normally lean on food, and I know I will be craving terribly because of what my brother and I will be dealing with. (reminds me of the movie "Savages" --sister and brother team caring for their elderly father) ANYWAY...I'm obviously blabbing because of stress, and anxiousness of how I will react, but I will just do my best not to lean on bad foods. I'll keep a doodle pad nearby so I can draw cartoons instead----relaxing. And I'll try to keep healthy snacks for aimless nervous munching.
I'm not sure what else I can do, but plan for the worst, hope for the best and try my best.
