redwinelover's Journal, 25 October 2011

Need I say it yet again? It's time to get serious. I took about 9 days off - ate and drank pretty much what I felt like. Okay, didn't eat what I felt like all the time, just more than I would trying to maintain. And kept the exercise up. But if anyone notices, I have that obnoxious Weigh In Now crap up at the top. And it can wait.

I feel SO bloated and will not get on the scale for a few days. No way - I might just completely lose it. Denial? uh... yeah! But I prefer to think of it as self-preservation.

Had a sort of crappy workout today. One of the Crunch ones. Cute guy, semi fun routine, but not a serious calorie burner. Spent 45 min. and barely hit over 200 calories. I just know I have to shake things up if I want to see results, and doing the Piloxing dvd I enjoy so much won't help if I do it daily.

So much stress going on around here - car problems for three of the four cars. Some serious - one transmission out, another possible transmission on the way out, Lord only knows what's wrong with the third one. Mine is the only semi-reliable vehicle right now and it needs brakes! Then I've got "kid" stress... omg, I thought it would get easier as they grew up. Not one of them, nope, not at all. Worse and it's a big problem since I feel there are psychological issues that need addressing. Hubby still sick, but getting better. But throw these damn car problems on him - our only mechanic, and it's getting to him, as well. I think the health issues here are far worse than the car problems, and those are fairly serious.

So stress and stress eating and stress drinking, I think. No excuses - I know what I turn to for "comfort" and it's not helping MY mental outlook. So it's back to the basics - journaling, exercising and recording my food intake. Well, the exercise really hasn't stopped anyway, it's the food that has gotten out of control.

Didn't want to journal as I have nothing super positive to say. Except I haven't given up and I won't. Sorry for being a bummer here.

Ah... thanks, Bren! I sure can use those hugs and love. Not trying to feel sorry for myself here - tons and tons of people have far worse problems than I do and I know that. Just sometimes it gets overwhelming, you know? Thanks for "listening". Hope you have a great evening - what's left of it.

I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time right now. ((hugs)) car troubles are the worst! Hopefully you will be able to get those sprted out soon. Don't weigh in yet until you aren't bloated. That won't help your stress. I also hope your hubs starts feeling better soon! Poor guy has been sick for a long time! You need to remember to take care OF YOU my friend. You will get back to where you were in no time. Sometimes we all need a little break, especially when we are so stressed out. Sending you TONS of hugs!

Thank you, Dawn! So nice of you. Yeah, not sure which is worse, the car troubles are the other. Probably the other! But things will get better. They always do, even when it feels as if they won't. I'm trying to take care of me. Unfortunately I turn to food and drink to soothe myself and I know that doesn't help anything! hope things are going well for you, my friend!
