Hey everyone! Well, Tuesday I got a decent nap in and that helped immensely! Also, that morning I hD sent hubby an e-mail explaining what had been going on all night. He appologized and said that he had slept right through all that and had no idea. Of course.
Yesterday he brought out a special present for me. When we were in New Zealand I had gotten a "no admittance" sign from Hobbiton. He had gone and had it specially framed. It was beautiful!
Yesterday my grandma died so it became an emotional day for me. She donated her body to the local university so they don't have to bury her. As such, they are waiting and having a memorial service in December. It's a few weeks after my hysterectomy and I've been cleared to travel at that point so I'm flying up there with my mom.
I haven't been able to avoid the snacking completely. But I have been avoiding any binge eating. Considering I'm an emotional eater...I'm proud of that!
Goals:
Lots of water!!! I need to avoid getting a snacky mood by making sure I'm hydrated!
sub sugary snacks with healthier ones. I can't seem to avoid snacking altogether. But I can at least make better choices about what I eat when I do!
take time to rest my foot. It feels better but I overworked it the other day and it started to ache. I want it to heal properly!0 -
Valma, so sorry to hear. Big hugs to you from me!!! What a special person she must have been. Of course it's been emotional for you. And I'm glad that you can attend the service. Twice this year I dealt with grief---once with lots of emotional eating, once with very little. Progress, not perfection.
What a lovely gift from your hubs!
Have had a big headache and slogging through day. Did not want to eat the crappy frozen meal I brought for lunch for the 6th workday in a row so I had a sandwich/salad/fruit salad and was scared but when I put in the info the cals weren't as bad as I feared. Went for 20m walk, it's gorgeous outside. Tonight: daycare, home, water, going to bed early...
More hugs from afar, Valma!0 -
Val, I'm so sorry about your grandmother.
Hope your foot heals well, definitely wise not to rush it.
April, hope your headache gets better.
Well my bedtime was interrupted last night by my son (unusual), but nothing like Val's night the other night! As a result, I took a nap this evening when I normally would've done a workout. It's ok because I caught up on the sleep (important!) and still have plenty of time to get my workouts done by Sunday this week. I had errands to do during sons tutor today so I got a few steps there. Also ankle exercises, which I'm modifying now because I'm noticing occasional shots of pain (still, I'm much better than before) and I think I know the issue (going to do my exercises more gent kneed now).
Almost ready with my November plan too!
Have a good one! Fridays on its way!0 -
I'm very sorry for your loss, Valma.
Sorry I've been MIA. Have been sick the past few days. Worked on Tuesday but cancelled my lunch walk with my friend & ended up skipping my bike workout thinking I'd wait & do it Wednesday. Wednesday I was sick enough that I stayed home from work so I didn't do anything. Today I went back to work. I did 15 minutes on the rowing machine to warm up then did shoulders & low back with my trainer. Have my trainer again early tomorrow so going to bed soon. My eating is kind of a disaster right now too so I'm going to have to get that pulled back together.
Hope everybody is hanging in there.0 -
Sorry for your loss Val....
Hope you are healing Laura.
I had a quirky day trying to plan tomorrow, I am going out with friends and going to costume party. My husband decided he didn't want to go and friends encouraged me to go without him.
I worked this afternoon but realized I emotionally ate tonight out of anxiety about going out with couple friends alone. Dumb I know, I will be fine....
No exercise today.0
