    Steps: 3,634

    I was short steps when I went to put my watch on charge so I did a few loops around the apartment to get to my step goal. I still have a sinus headache and pressure. I might go to the pool this afternoon if it eases off a bit.


    What are your Saturday fitness plans?

    @lindamtuck2018

    It can be so helpful to have goals as they push us to achieve them so glad your step goal pushed you to do a couple loops around your apartment. Hope you feel better tomorrow. Did you go to the pool? I got out for a walk even though it was very cold and some of my body parts weren't happy with me at the end of the walk as they don't seem to agree with exercise. Loved the fresh air!

    I am impressed with your Saturday exercise. It was pretty cold here yesterday. No I didn’t get to the pool. Stupid headache.

    Not sure where those steps came from. Not the greatest week goal wise. Today’s exercise is going to be mini walks. I am also starting to clean the carpets today. I do it in little bits so it might take a week or two. I am also going to cut up a bunch of veggies for munching on as well as cooking with. Off to log my food for the week.

    This weeks numbers:

    Name: rwillems
    Weigh-in Day: Sunday
    PW. 275.8 lbs
    CW: 275.8 lbs.

    This is OK, as I am trying to get some other areas under control, like sleep, salt and sugar intake, and food logging. So far so good. Got my step counts back up this week too.

    Overall, pretty happy.

    Going to the pool soon. My back is unhappy with me from the carpet cleaning, meal prep and mini walks. After my swim I am going to do lots of stretching and the hot tub.

    Happy Monday

    Emotional eating - how do you all deal with this?

    My step mom is dying. My mom is in rehab after breaking her hip/ surgery and seems to be struggling -- all on the other side of the country. I just bought a ticket to fly to North Carolina later this week (again, I was there last week for my mom). I need to go support my dad as they try to bring step mom home for in-home hospice. Also, when my step mom passes, I am in charge of money for taking care of my dad(who is also pretty sick). I'm feeling sad and overwhelmed. I want a cookie. Or like, a box of cookies. And I know eating well is going to be really hard there.

    I was a social worker prior to moving to my current occupation.

    Talk these feelings out with someone. Be it a close friend or a counselor. We carry so much internally at times and eventually it has to come out in some manner. I'm so sorry that you're going through a hard time.

    This is a lot to deal with. Distraction is one of the ways I deal with emotional eating. I agree talking with someone is a good idea. Also, make sure you make some me time. Go for a massage, pedicure or something else you find relaxing. Hugs!
