I am usually on here in the morning, but not today. My oldest is making me crazy. I know I'm gonna miss it someday, but right now... She jacked up my whole day. As a result of this, it made me start thinking. Obviously, food is a huge part of weight loss, but food isn't the only part. I didn't exercise today, like I planned. Part of that is my fault, but not all. By the time I had a chance to, all my drive was gone, things that needed to get done, I had to get done When you get stressed, it just drains you mentally and physically. No matter how hard you try to keep from getting stressed and keep calm, sometimes it's unavoidable. When I think back, there are so many factors that go into gaining weight and losing weight. I think when we identify them and with them, maybe it's easier or at least we understand better.
So, today is day 9 for me. I think I will be glad to reach cycle 9. I weighed myself the morning of day 8 and I had lost 1 1/2 pounds, for a total of 5 1/2 pounds. I'll take it. Hopefully I will be able to put exercise with it tomorrow. I also think exercising will make me feel better in general. I know what it feels like to exercise daily, now I just jave to make it happen! Go me, you can do it!
Tomorrow will be better. I'm gonna make it better tonight. Who's the adult here? I am! Tonight I am gonna be an adult. I can't let a teenager run my life, at least not tomorrow, haha. I can dream.
Good luck to us all...

That's right 2lose2gain...Go YOU! It's so challenging when stress plays such a huge role in this whole weight deal, to stay on an even keel. Even if you don't manage to accomplish everything you wanted, you can breath purposefully. A deep breath in to the count of 3 and out to the count of 5 will calm your mind and body and help with all the cortisol build up. You're doing a great job and making progress so breath. Take some big, deep, full breaths everytime you think about it....maybe every time you go pee, or wash your hands or something that you do regularly and know that you're on the right path. Good on ya...
Check out the Doctors 2011 Stress Challenge it has lots of great tips on recognizing and beating stress, helped me! Yes, teenagers grow up too - makes the Terrible Two's look pretty good doesn't it? When my sons were preteen I had a professional family picture taken so that when things got crazy I could always look at that picture and see the perfect beautiful family that I had. I spent ALOT OF TIME looking at that picture ALOT, still do but for different reasons- now they aren't around to bug me and they are still as perfect as the day we took that picture. Now my 'kid' stress has a new name it's called 'worry'....and I wouldn't have any other way!
Hope you have a better day tomorrow. It's my day 9, and so far I've lost 4.2 lbs., which is more than I've lost in a long long time. I feel really good. Actually watched the exercise video today and did a semi-workout. Good Luck.
