Why is IT???

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Why is it that the slightest disruption to my schedule can throw me off. I ate my way through yesterday. Why????

The family is stranded at home. Very unusual ice storm has hit Interior of Alaska and has basically shut down the city. We are praying we don't lose power as we never quite got around to getting that generator. If we lose power we have no water or heat.

So maybe it's worry that I'm internalizing? I always complain I don't have enough time to get things done at home and here I am presented with two extra days (so far) and I'm wasting them away complaining and eating. Life has bumps and derailments. My healthy life plan shouldn't be contingent on what's happening around me, on everything being on schedule, or I will never make it.

So today, in spite of my derailments, I vow to get out the WiiFit and get a work-out in since I can't go to the gym. And maybe play tag with my little men, they love it and usually force me to chase them up and down the stairs. And most of all, to eat healthy today. Promise. Pinky Swear. Weigh-in is Friday and I want results!

    Sorry to hear of your bad weather up there! Hope you didn't lose power! Did you get the wii out? I keep saying I am going to get mine out, but it hasn't happened yet-busy,busy, busy. Yes, life can throw us a curve ball, and we want to eat our way through it. Hang in there-don't give up! Maybe joining a challenge like the 5% Winter Challenge can help to give you that boost! How are things now? I see it is -26 below zero right now-that is awful! Do you normally have it that cold this time of year or is this a fluke? Hope all is ok since haven't heard from you! Connie

    I hope that your day went as you planned. I think pretty much all of Alaska is under the same situation. I heard that Anchorage schools are closed for tomorrow as well so I think they are experiencing the same thing. I'm by Denali National Park (Healy) and yes we are having the same problem but I hear that Fairbanks is worse than us.

The cancellation of school and the change in the rest of the families schedules has been a challenge for me as well. I've been able to control the eating, but getting my fitness in has been difficult because I don't like anyone watching me especially my teenage son.

Hopefully life will be back to normal very soon.
