well, i somehow managed to eat well enough to get my weight back down to 149.6 this morning. i really don’t know how this all works. it really must just be water weight. but what i don’t understand is why i would gain 2lbs of water weight all of a sudden. oh well, i guess i should just be happy that my weight is back down.
so, my exercise has been really off this week. the snowstorm that hit yesterday meant the boys were home with me, while i tried to work, which means that very little actually got done. i counted shovelin as my exercise for the day. and so far today, i’m not much better. i did tromp (is that a word?) around in the snow with the boys. and since it is about 19″ and even more in the drifts, that is a bit of a workout. but really, i think i’d feel better if i got in my 30 minutes on the elliptical. not to mention that my knee hurts a bit from my earlier hike in the white stuff.
work is just really busy these days, my boys are into everything, and i mean everything. i feel like i get no support at home. my husband is supportive in the sense that he tells me i’m doing great and i look fantastic, all the moral support type of stuff. but sometimes i’d rather have the support in the sense of him taking on some of the workload. i just feel overwhelmed at times, and i think that gets me “down”…which makes it more stressful because then i get the “who cares” feeling about eating right, which then makes me feel bad, and the downward spiral continues.
the past week or so has been stressful, and i’ve been battling the negative feelings. i have been struggling to eat well and exercise, to get back on track. i am feeling good at the moment, so i’m hoping that i can continue this and build momentum to carry me through the weekend. i am excited that the snow will be here, because that gives me a reason to be outside in the fresh air, getting exercise while just playing and having fun. it’s those types of days that make it easy to stay on track. days where i’m not sitting around inside the house, feeling bored. but instead, i’m active…and not thinking about snacks.
so while i missed my session with brent this week, i hope to make it up in outdoor activities!
