Just breathe…

Well, sigh, not the best way that my day could have started…I missed yoga class due to an unavoidable errand and my Mom went to the Dr. for some stress/sinus/who the hell knows illness.  She is an excitable creature (my Mom that is) and she is the poster child for what stress and worry can do to your body. 

I caved and succumbed to temptation while I was on my errand and got a coffee and *gasp* a donut even.  It was good and I don’t even feel particularly guilty so I am moving on like nothing happened.  I plan to unload the groceries and do some laundry and see what else I am up for as far as exercise today. 

I am attempting to quit weighing myself so much. I think that for some people it is the tool they need to keep on track and I think that I do need to weigh regularly, but I think that more often than not I use weighing as a way to punish myself when I eat something I know is going to make the scale jump.  *Reminder to myself*  MY BODY IS NOT MY ENEMY!!!  Why is that so hard for me to remember?  I have to find a way to work with my body, not against it, and I will get to all of my goals! 

I had crashing fatigue yesterday and actually ended up in bed at 6pm.  I was up this morning at 5:30 and feeling pretty good but I still feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Maybe it is the already warming days…heat makes me feel so lethargic…  I swear, I am the opposite of all those people that gain weight in the winter…  Fall and winter makes me energized!  I really hate being different sometimes….

    Hi Raven, Thanks for your very kind comments on my blog. I like your writing! Just for the record, I know what you mean about feeling energised in cooler weather while drooping in the hot weather. Both my mom and I experience the same feeling. This year and last year I’m really trying to ride the warmer weather out and maybe even embrace it. Also, I sometimes “crash” with fatigue like that and hit the sack way early, and it helps me.
    Take care and have a wonderful day. I’m up earlier than I have to be - taking my dog to the vet at 8:45, but I heard her start panting really hard just now, and it woke me up all the way. Good idea about the family blog. RubyJean
