S-l-o-w-l-y inching my way back
I’m starting to make my way out of the abyss that was this week. Total gluttony, at least for the last few days. And it wasn’t that I was powerless to stop myself, I just didn’t want to. I hate feeling bleak like that. What’s worse, I can’t pinpoint exactly what prompted the change.
But I’m slowly headed in the right direction. Last night we went to a tenderloin fry and after trying a bite of the traditional tenderloin I discovered that I liked the grilled one better so I gave my sandwich to my hubby (I guess there’s a benefit to being married to a guy who likes all things fried 
) and bought a grilled one. And this morning I have already worked out. It’s nothing compared to a traditional workout but it’s more than I did the last few days.
Today is beautiful weather-wise and we’re taking our older son to a pumpkin patch/corn maze/haunted barn kind of place. I know we’ll be doing a ton of walking and having fun outside. I’m also going to spend some time thinking of a better program for myself. It’s great when I’m focused, I lose weight like crazy. But I think that it’s unrealistic to maintain as the school year goes on. As much as my temperament is to be the hare versus the tortise, I know that slow and steady wins the race.
Thanks for all of the support, you gals really do mean the world to me.
Progress toward workout goal: 73/250
Thanks so much for your kind comments, Brandie. I identify with you so much because of the kind of pressures we face but you have so much more on your plate than I do. (hee, hee! I didn’t mean that to be a joke but I guess it is under the circumstances) I don’t know how you deal with teaching and the kids like you do. Maybe that’s why we have kids when we’re young. I know I don’t have the energy to keep up with you. We’ve got a few breaks coming up in the school schedule. Hang on! Tortoise and the hare. Slow but steady.
Playing blog catch up. Just wanted to say Hi and, hello, you are so not stupid. You know just what to do, and you’ll do it when you’re ready to do it. Sometimes it’s nice to kick back and relax and hang with the kids and the huzb and not analyze every freaking thing that you think about putting into your mouth!
Welcome back from the abyss. =D Hey, the fact that you hung in there and still BLOGGED means you weren’t totally outta the ballpark. And then your food choices AND the fact that you worked out at all… You’re still in this game - and yeah - we can win this!
