The last time I recorded my weight was 304 days ago, according to FS. I know I had stopped doing workout and eating healthy much before that. And here I am... I waited too long. I let myself go too long.
What had happened? Life. It happens to everyone, nothing new, I should say. For me, struggling to find a job has been hard. Working at the lowest wage in my last twenty years is hard. Doing the job I am really not good at is hard. At the end of the day, I am physically mentally tired. Besides, our new apartment is so small that I don't have a space to do workout. Budget is so tight to buy healthy food. Schedule is too hectic to go grocery shopping to store good food in the refrige.
There. Above are my excuses. I need to realize that those are what I cannot control of. The only thing I can control is always myself. This mind setting had helped me the last time I lost my weight in... 2011. Those days, my struggle was infertility. When you focus on something you can control, it is easier to motivate yourself. I mean losing weight itself is not really under my control. However, doing workout regularly and eating healthy are under my control.
I need to admit that negative feeling is growing inside of me for the last few years. If I cannot control myself, how can I manage other hard issues in my life? That was, and is, my starting point. That is today. From today, I'll be honest to myself and take effort to do good one day at a time.
More importantly, some of my pretty clothes I bought from Anthropologie and Betty Johnson don't fit me, and THAT is very serious problem too. I succeeded once, so I can do it again!

I feel terrible that I got off the track again...!
What happened was that started working at a retail job, which was not really my "dream" job. I had been looking for a full-time job while I was taking online college courses. After I finally finished my all school works, I still did not have a job. So, I decided to get anything available. That's how I landed on a part-time retail job. I am not really good at with working for sales/marketing. Retail jobs usually require very irregular schedule throughout a week. Besides, standing for hours hurts my knees and foot. Because my hip joints had problems since I was born, I haven't done much workout using legs. Therefore, my legs are weaker than an average person.
So. Because my legs/foot hurt and I was so tired after work, I did not have enough energy to do workout. Because the schedule was so irregular, my eating habit got messed up.
It has been about a month now, and my body gradually get used to with this "new" lifestyle. Before it becomes too late, I really need to come back here, seriously! I take one day at a time and will try making efforts to record food and add some workouts. Hopefully, I can get a full-time job soon at other than retails.
I really wonder how those ladies who work at retails maintain "regular" movement of tummy. My store prohibits to keep water at sales floor due to rodent(!) problem. Naturally my body dehydrates, and I even don't need to go to the restroom over six hours. As a result, my body gets "irregular". If I work this job for full-time, my body will be totally "irregular". I wonder how other people prevent it.

My endometriosis is definitely back. It is hard for me to function for the last a couple of days. It is unpredictable when it comes, so I cannot take meds in advance. I know it usually hit me a week after TOM and around ovulation day, so maybe I should start taking meds around that time. Gosh, it hurts...

From six in the morning till the five thirty in the afternoon, I had 1) 20 of unsalted mini pretzel with 1 tbs of hummus, 2) cafe latte, and 3) a few sips (4oz) of water.
To be honest, I had never been at department store on Black Friday in my life with...twelve years in the U.S. I acquired a new kind of respect to those sales associates. As much as it is not my liking kind or fit job, sales is tough. Nine hours on the floor today and one-hour lunch with several stop by customers on my way to go a break room = actual break was about forty minutes. I am not good at with competing making sales...
Diet-wise, the hardest part was that I was not allowed to have any food or drink on the floor. I did not need to go bathroom until I went back home around five, since five in the morning. It is really bad. I am trying and hoping to find another job very soon so that I can leave this job. I will take a sale job if there is no option, but I just know that I am so bad at it. I think that a shopping lover and sales-hunting lover can be a great sales person, and I am opposite of it.
My legs are so exhausted, and I don't think I can do workout today. I just need a rest and some real meals (without eating too much).

What I grabbed after five thirty: leftover sweet potato casserole, leftover dressing, whole grain bread with almond butter, coffee.

I need to wake up early for work tomorrow, which will be a hard thing to do. I still have plenty things to do today. I hope I can make time doing workout before going bed tonight.

Alright, I managed to squeeze in workout today. I don't think I can record everything I ate tonight though. Instead of recording on calendar, I note them here: sweet potato casserole, green salad, cornbread dressing, and berries with Greek yogurt. I may record them later if I have a chance...
