Keep on keeping on

My son had another big seizure yesterday so my day didn’t go quite as expected.  I am so lucky to teach at the school that I do because within about 90 seconds of me getting the call my principal was down here and I was out the door.  His first concern is always Kyle’s health and he doesn’t make me feel guilty at all about being gone.  In fact, I have to be gone again tomorrow and he just asked if there was anything he could do to help.

What yesterday taught me, though, was that I’m not turning to food as much anymore.  Actually, I had to make myself eat lunch when I got him home.  Then, when he crashed, I got in a good workout.  I’m really focused on my goal of reaching 260 by this weekend.  With all of this extra crap I have to put up with the scale needs to be friendly to me.

    Awesome job with handling everything, and not using food as an outlet to your emotional stress. Mothers ROCK! Keep up the good work!

    Sorry to hear about the seizure, but it’s great that you have an understanding principal who allows you to focus on the important things in life.

    And congratulations on not turning to food to deal with the emotional/stressful times. And good for you for taking care of yourself while you take care of your son :)
