Weigh-in complete. Up 1.4 lbs from last week at this time. Not thrilled about it but it is what it is. Day to day is sort of a struggle right now but I'll just keep moving on ... trying to stay in the moment as much as I can ... focusing on what is positive ... and remembering my successes with weight and health over this past year and let it sink in that I have not 'failed' in any way, shape, or form.
Didn't feel too good when I woke up this morning but am starting to feel a little better. Sleep continues to be restless, mostly due to waking up HOT ... but I did dream some last night which means I was able to stay asleep long enough to get into REM sleep which is positive. I have laundry underway and we're taking off around noon to go see FIL. Hubby apologized to me last night for being such a 'wreck' this week. It was nice to hear him acknowledge it ... though I completely understand why he has been a 'wreck'.
We watched the last episodes of Monk last night (we Netflix because we do not have TV reception ... therefore we are always behind everyone else!! LOL!!). That was fun.
I need to put on my work out clothes and do my Pilates before I talk myself out of it!! Don't know what else is on the agenda for the weekend. Nothing too exciting. Maybe a Costco run ... that is actually sort of dangerous!! LOL!!! Way too many tempting things to eat there!! If I don't buy it I can't eat it though, right?
Well, I suppose I need to put another load of laundry in ... perhaps fix my hubby some breakfast, maybe eat something myself, and get my body on the floor for Pilates!! Have a good one ... take care ... be good to yourselves and let's all do something for US today!!!

Glad you are feeling a little better now. Those damn hot flashes. How nice for your hubby to acknowledge that to you. Now get your work out clothes on and do your pilates. I am still doing nothing waiting for Ashley to leave but I will get motivated (I hope) very soon. Enjoy your day and hope you have a better visit with FIL.

You are the consummate pro at this moose and it shows. Sometimes I wonder though if you fully realize how much of a difficult period you are really in, and how fabulously well you are dealing with it all. I don't really think that you can do much more here except maybe be a little gentler with yourself. In the case of hubby and FIL, by truly understanding and accepting that all things come to an end, there is a way for Bob to embrace the future (his own as well as his Dad's) with grace and beauty. Becoming a wreck is completely optional and really won't help anyone, least of all himself. There is a duty and obligation to FIL, but there is also one to oneself to know when and how to detach. Allow the hospital to do it's job, they are being well paid. As always, you are in our prayers my dear friend.

Thanks Info. I think you may be right, I often have expectations of myself that tend to be unrealistic and it is difficult for me to fully realize when I am under stress. There is no reason to let "fear" rule me in terms of my weight. I do know how to do this and there is no reason why I will ever return to what I did in the past. It is my choice and I choose being healthier. I know what you said about Bob is correct. Sometimes though, he is in a space that he cannot 'hear' me and at those times it is best (I have learned this wisdom through the years!!!) to make an attempt to say something and then let it go until he is ready to 'hear' someone else again. He is a passionate and complex man ... one of the many reasons I love him so much and also one of the reasons he drives me crazy!! LOL!!! Well ... just finished my English muffin egg sandwich for breakfast, put another load of laundry in and now it is time to do my pilates.

Moose up early again and thinking about you. I hope you had a restful sleep last night without hot flashes.

Moose, don't worry about the journals. If we don't hear from you, we will come to your journal! I know this time for you is very hard, very stressful. This is not the time to worry too much about your weight. Be moderate but do not let it overwhelm you. You are strong, but even the strong need time to recoup. (Do I hear Mexico calling?) Be well Moose, eat well as best you can, exercise as best you can and be there for your hubby. Hot flashes, boy have I had my share. They eventually go away, as if that is any help :-) Try soy, but it takes quite awhile. Worked for me but it was a month before I saw results. Wanted no part of hormone supplementation. Just know we are all thinking of you and it goes without saying, you and yours are in our prayers.
