missing in action for a week

Monday, February 20, 2012

But I am back. My BF was sick this past week and I just feel so glum. Its really hard to keep going. I hardly walked this week, and I pigged out on valentine candies. I felt horrible. I feel like crying, but you ever get to the point when you can't even cry?
So how to keep moving when you are down? We went for a walk today. My BF was totally gripping about awful he fellt, but he went for a walk and I listened to him gripping. I know he's in pain. For dinner we had whole wheat spaghetti noodles and ground lean turkey instead of meatballs. I had half of what I normally would normally eat and I think the package said it was over 90% lean turkey. It was okay. Afterwards, i was craving sweets. I hardly ever drink soda but I was craving an orange Crush or grape. I had a chai instead. Its sweet, but not that sweet and at least not carbonated. Now I am in bed at 1030pm and thinking of going to sleep. I hope I can sleep well tonight.

    Michelle, I have days/weeks like that as well! When things get REALLY bad for me I try to take a step back, take a deep breath and let it out slowly, all the while chanting "God does not give us anything that we can not handle" and "That which does not kill me makes me stronger". Know that we're all here for ya! Take care of yourself! Hope your bf gets to feeling MUCH better soon!

    I feel your pain. The hard thing about sugar is that once you start eating it again, it gets its grip on you. Sugar is my drug of choice. But, the cravings go away once you stop eating it for a few days.

Keep walking because that will make you feel better even if you don't really want to do it. Just get up and go!

Throw out the candy that is left...you will thank me later. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is throw that stuff away but, it will make you feel better.

Think about how far you have come and give yourself a big hug because you are AWESOME and you will SUCCEED!!!

    Deirdre has some great words of wisdom for you! I'm so proud of both of you for getting in a walk even with the pain and glumness. That's a huge accomplishment! Hope today is better for you both.

    HI Michelle
I hope you woke up this morning feeling better about your circumstances. My father once said to me that times get difficult in a marriage when both partners are feeling down. It's fine when one is low and the other high, but when you're both feeling down, there's no one to prop you up and it's far easier to get off track. Your situation sounds temporary -- he'll get better, you'll get some sleep ... and suddenly you've got a better perspective on things:)

I am certain this week will be better for you:) Just remember the thought: "This too shall pass". Sometimes you just have to wait things out. Hang in there, and good luck.
Deirdre
