I have had PMS for like six days now.  I don’t know how many more days of this I can handle.

More importantly, I have had some very “off” days recently, and its to the point where instead of having a couple slips a month its more like a couple slips a week.

This week’s focus will be to reflect on:

• What are my goals? What goals am I neglecting?
• How did I get to where I am? How do I want to get to where I am going?
• What areas of my life are out of balance?

And of course I’ll also be reminding myself of all those things I’m thankful for.  A few:  great husband, good health, 2 cute kitties, wonderful family and friends, a job I love and a home to keep me safe and warm.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.  I’m heading to Oregon to visit family.  How about you?

This week was tough. It seemed like I was either SPOT ON or ON A FOOD BENDER. Next week I’m shooting for more balance. I have had a lot of stress, which I could use as an excuse. But life will always have stress and I need to learn how to eat well even in trying times.

I also want to get better about blog updates.  When I regularly blogged on 3FC I posted every day, but since I moved to a different URL, I’m procrastinating.  I also haven’t been taking my food journal photos.  SO, we’ll work on that!

UPDATE (later in the evening):

I’m suddenly feeling very grumpy and I’m having a bit of a meltdown.  I *know* I’ve lost weight.  I *know* I’ve gone down a few sizes.  Therefore I *know* I should be happy and more importantly grateful.

But WHY do I feel like I LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME????  I’ve been comparing recent photos to older photos.  I can tell that I have lost a tiny bit of weight in my face, but my arms, stomach, butt, thighs all look the same to me. A grand total of two people have mentioned my weight loss.  Not even my husband, closest friends or family have noticed.

I’m not trying to bring anyone down and I am not phishing for compliments. I’m just frustrated and I know I can share that openly here at 3FC.  I know it will happen eventually and I need to be F***ing patient.  I just needed to get that out.

Rant over.

Thanks to Sarah (Round) for nominating me! Its been a while since my Committed blog has been gorgeous, so I have to invite you to visit my new blog. Its a lot like my Committed blog used to be, but hopefully better!

Rules:

-Include the award on your blog or post
-Share with everyone six interesting facts about yourself
-Nominate as many bloggers as you like

-Let them know that they received this award through their tagboards or private message them

Six interesting facts about me:

1. I can wiggle my ears.

2. I joined 3FC back in July 2007. Until July 2009, I didn’t really have success with my weight loss. Since July of this year I’ve lost 28 pounds.

3. I hate driving, and I get terrible anxiety on the freeway.

4. I am the middle child in a family of five kids.

5. I grew up in California, where I’ve lived my whole life. California seems boring to me sometimes, until I visit other places and then I realize how blessed I’ve been and never knew it.

6. I don’t have kids - I have two cats. I care for my cats as if they were my children. I even hire a pet sitter to sleep over when I’m away overnight.

I nominate: Lee3FC and Firefly!
