I am just struggling. Losing my sister and sending my son off to college in the same week have done a number on my mental health. I am doing well with working out because it's an outlet for those emotions...picture me crying on the treadmill to "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart"...but food choices and tracking are another thing. And getting that water in. I'm mostly drinking caffeine and alcohol.

I'm back to work tomorrow after bereavement leave, then off on a cruise, which I desperately need right now. Once we get back, I'm planning to really refocus.

On a good note, still no gain. I am proud of myself for maintaining in this season. And it should be noted that I've now reached the goal I initially set for myself which was 185lbs. I am super proud of that and need to remind myself of what I've accomplished so far! I've lost 75 pounds and regardless of what I'm doing right now, that is absolutely something to celebrate!

Thank you friends for the kind words yesterday. I am sad, I'm not ok, but I *will be* ok. I keep repeating that to myself. My sister was lost to us long before she passed on Tuesday, and I take comfort in knowing she's in a better place now.

I went to the gym this morning. Down another half pound. I have found a solution for the days I work to ensure I get in a workout. I hate my arms... the bat wings are just not a good look for me. So I've started doing a short arm workout every night. Just 15-20 minutes, using videos on YouTube and a pair of dumbbells. It has really made a difference in my body composition already. Muscle mass is increasing and fat decreasing significantly even without the scale moving a lot. If you're interested, I'm using Caroline Girvan's workouts and I really like them!

Staying the course. Working through a lot of sadness as we also lost my husband's aunt last week and my middle child is moving off to college tomorrow. My oldest lives at home and goes to our local university, so this is a first for me. I have the sads but this too shall pass.
