So since the New Year this is what's happened to me:
- I finished up teaching one course, including manic marking madness and whiny students whinging.
- I started teaching another course (two seminars a week, plus marking and prep), which is enormous fun but exhausting.
- I started teacher training; two days a week at school, observing and teaching, enormous fun but exhausting.
- I started teacher training; three hours of lectures a week, plus assignments. Somewhat fun - not as fun as being at school - but just as exhausting.
Once each week I still have choir til quite late in the evening.
Oh yea, and I've got research and a thesis to finish!
Huh. It doesn't look that much to me when I write it up like that - but I'm in therapy and my doc has told me in no unconditional terms that I have unrealistic expectations of myself and that my schedule is dangerously full - what do you guys think?
Ok, I'm not here to rope you all into being co-docs for me (though any opinions you might want to offer on that would be welcome ). It's about my weight.
(I know, you were all waiting for me to stop blathering and get to the point!)
I haven't been weighing daily.
I haven't been writing down what I've been eating (my PT has sent me an excel file to use) (has anyone here tried to be mindful of what they're eating whilst at school with several hundred hormone-tormented teenagers running around?).
The last time I checked, I'd crept up a couple of pounds (which I know isn't very much, but UGH wrong direction etc).
I am still taking my meds each day, which is good (right?).
Some of my fears and issues that I talk to my doc about seem to take up so much time and energy that I just can't think about my portion sizes or making good choices and the like.
Ok. Guys. Help! (please?)
