Back to It

Wow. The last three weeks have been insane. Between my surgery, no water for 12 days (yes, 12 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Sydney’s trip to the ER and everything that included, Megan starting a new speech therapy program, and one of my good friends moving, I am still standing.
I am feeling fine. Recovered fine from the surgery. I even went to the Y last Tuesday and got in 3 miles on the elliptical. I also ran twice last week. I have been frustrated with my lack of progress but have tried to look at it in a more positive light. No, I am not running as far as I was before our trip in December. But I am back to running (somewhat) and that is more than I would have done in the past. I need to make some adjustments to my training schedule because of Megan’s new speech therapy program interfers with my previous schedule.
I have some new product reviews to get posted and I am making a new soup tonight. It is an awesome recipe that my friend gave me. She made it for us one night and Megan ate THREE bowls! Yes, three bowls. I have to figure nutritional values and see how much the recipe makes.
That is my life in a nutshell. My food journal is back out on my counter. I weighed myself this morning. I keep reminding myself that I can control what goes in my mouth. There are so many areas of my life that feel so out of control that this is something that I can control.
I also heard the best saying a few weeks ago. I am sorry but I do not know who to give credit to.
Only journal on the days that you want to lose weight.
Hmmm. Well, I want to lose the weight that has appeared. So my journal is out and have been used already today. 12 points left for the day and that doesn’t include any APs that I might earn from my run this afternoon.
