I’ve started a new blog post in my head several times over the past week, but I just haven’t had time to put any words onto the page. I know I sound like a broken record, but the pace hasn’t slowed down any yet, and I’m starting to feel more than ready for a vacation. A loooong vacation! (I’ve been interrupted about half a dozen times just writing this paragraph, and I am about to give up!)
Somehow, I managed to squeak out a small loss last week, but I honestly can’t take any credit for it. I put no effort in last week at all. It must simply be a random fluctuation in weight. But it was still nice to see a loss!
The kids were home this past weekend, and it was a relief to slow down and hang out with them. It’s comforting when they’re home, because it’s the only time that I know for sure all four of them are safe and cared for.
Taking care of myself has taken a back seat, yet again, and I decided that really needs to change. I’m not quite sure yet what changes I need to make, but I need to carve out time to plan meals, prepare healthier food, and work out, even if it’s just 15 minutes a day. When I am overwhelmed and swamped and drowning under a to-do list a mile long, it’s so easy to skip things like that, and let’s be real, I want to skip workouts because I don’t feel like doing them! I need to change my perspective and my routine, and soon, for my own health.
Sorry to hear that things are still hectic. Happy to hear that you got to slow down a little bit this weekend with the kids. I hope things get better and you are able to throw some focus on #1 (you!). Hang in there.

A small loss is still a loss. Considering how crazy your life is right now, it was just what you needed. Please begin to put your health first. You without your health is not good for you nor your family. You deserve to treat yourself better. Hopefully the chaos at work will start to calm down so you can focus on you.

When I am depressed I do not feel like working out but it is a time when my mind can actually go blank.
