A crazy week

Monday, July 23, 2012

Thank goodness last week is over! I had the MOST stressful week, with inventory at my work, which went so badly that everyone in the store was stressed out and stomping around yelling. :/ And then my mother had surgery, after which we got some bad news. So I spent two days working my butt off at work, and then two days sitting in the hospital and those things just don't add up to calm and relaxed. My poor boyfriend, every time I see him I burst into tears for some reason or another. He's got to be praying for it to end, I'm sure. :)

BUT. Things are looking better this week. I'm not any less busy. The bad news cloud is still hanging over our heads. But the sun is shining. My family is all at home today. And I stepped on the scale this morning and I lost 2.5 lbs last week. So I'm doing ok.

I have this feeling that life is not going to get any less crazy anytime soon which is a sad story, but at least now I know I can get through it and I can lose weight while getting through it, which is terrific news. :)

    Nice work!
I think the lesson in your blog is that every day there is SOMETHING to bug us (your situation is unique, I'd say) but we have to keep on going. And we have to keep on planning.
Good for you. Keep it up.

    It sounds like you had a tough week. Stress doesn't make thing easier, that's for sure! I think it's difficult to remain focused when stressful things happen that are out of your control. You did well not let those outside stresses determine your choices. It's fantastic that you lost weight! I'm sure having a boyfriend who gives you support really helps. I hope your mother is doing all right.
