happy new year! January 1, 2010
thank you for you kind comments. they help. Today I am feeling a little better than the last time I wrote. I am still stressed to the max, but I am at work now and I seem to function better at work. I think I have a new emotion every five minutes. One minute I want to work it out with my husband, and the other I want to strangle him. I am lonely, and want affection, but I dont think he deserves it, lol… I think the best way to put it is, I am confused! anyway, enouph about him….. Its a new year, and along with a new year, I need new focus. I need to focus on my weight, and health. I took about a month off, and now I need to get back to it. I will be able to function much better when I eat better and work out. so there is a half hr left of 2009, come midnight I am officially back on track. I haven’t weighed myself in about three weeks, so I will weigh myself, start counting calories, and start back at the gym tomorrow! I am looking forward to getting out of this slump. Im sure Ive gained weight over christmas, but I am going to try not to dwell on that. Not much I can do about it now. Just have to pick up the pieces and move on…. My new years resolution this year is to :
get to my goal weight! (hopefully by june)
continue to eat healthy
stop drinking so much coffee
focus more on my children, and spend more quality time with them
try not to stress about money
work out 4-5 times a week
Happy New Year everyone!
Wow! I’m new to your blog and just read your previous post to get an idea of what’s going on. Like paperskin said, I don’t really know what to say and won’t even consider to think I would know how to help, but it sounds like you’re a bit more upbeat compared to where you were a few days ago. Your goals sound lofty but sometimes when life turns upside down it’s nice to have something positive to focus on. Also, what you eat and how much you workout are within your control and so much of the other chaos is beyond your control…if you’re anything like me having something you can control is comforting. We’re here for you.
I’m glad to see you are in a better place today. After reading today’s post, I do want to tell you to wait before you make any huge decisions. Sometimes, when we are confused and working out our feelings it is the worst time to decide what will be good for us in the long run. That being said, give yourself a deadline for which you have to make a decision by.. that will help keep you focused and force you too look at everything from all angles.
My prayers and thoughts are with you. I have no idea what I would do in your situation. Most likely I would not be as calm as you are (I say you are calm because you haven’t shot, strangled or beat up anyone yet).

You sound like you have a solid plan for weight loss here, but please also add stress management as a goal with all you have going on!
Last year with the cancer diagnosis I started a list of 100 things that make me happy (besides food & money!) and it was a slow process to find all 100 but now I have go-to de-stressing ideas at my fingertips. An approach I’d strongly recommend.
Sorry it’s been a long time since I stopped by… I got off track and gained all my 33 lbs back and then went over the original 310 mark… being lonely and wanting affection is a tough one to deal with. I have the same issues. Plus we’re going bankrupt. We’ve already paid the lawyer for it and are moving in the direction to spend all of the income tax refund on the dentist and bills. Official filing is just days away. I can’t imagine finding 100 things that makes me happy but maybe whenever I am unhappy I will try hard to think of something to add to the list. I hope things have improved for you. Take care. How is your sister doing with her personal trainer and her weight loss goals?
