I was feeling kind of sad today. I miss my mumsie and papa. Sometimes I fantasize about being able to go over to my Tootsie (mumsie) or Papa’s house on a random weeknight. Or call Tootsie to see if she wants to meet up for some coffee and a pastry. I just really miss my parents. I think since I don’t grab for a cheeseburger and fries for comfort, I’ve been feeling a little melancholy. I’ve been doing so good with my tracking and eating that I almost feel like I should splurge so I don’t get burned out. It’s the same thinking I had when I started to gain all the weight I lost 7 years ago. Once I reached my goal I almost immediately started to accept gaining the weight back by rewarding myself with food. I can’t believe I let myself gain all my weight back. I’m a Debbie Downer today.
On a lighter note, I stayed within my points today even though work was slowly killing me. I also left for a walk to get some air.
Tomorrow I will find 5 different ways to exercise if the snow prevents me from going to the gym. I will also continue to track and do 50 crunches.
Quote of the Day
“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers”
-M. Scott Peck
Move back to Albuquerque! :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. Sometimes our home isn't where we grew up or where the people we love live, but where our heart resides and where we find our community. I still haven't found that place yet, though downtown Albuquerque is feeling more and more like home.
I really do love reading your blog, and it is making me want to start writing again and to start exercising.
Ohhhh, me and you sister, we had the same day!! Tomorrow will be better, I think it's just the second week slump or something. Happy snow day tomorrow :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you my little Britt. I miss Albuquerque so much. This blog has become really therapeutic for me because I am actually following through with something I've always wanted to do. I was so afraid to start doing it because I made so many judgments on myself but I finally said F it. I actually started a Follow Through Club. I'm going to send you my newsletter. We have a private group set up on facebook but basically we are all bloging everyday, or every other day. Don't feel like you have to join but you are certainly invited. I’m sending it now.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, T. I miss so many people (including you!). I have friends and family all over the country so of course it's hard see them as much as I would like. Thank goodness for FB. I know that sounds kinda dumb, but it's a nice way to just see what people are up to and say yo! Hang in there! And congratulations on not eating your feelings!
ReplyDeleteChin up honey bun! I'm sorry that you are feeling homesick, but you are doing great work and soon you will be seeing results that will be making you very happy :-)
ReplyDeleteI say that you should treat yourself now and then so you don't feel deprived and then have a food melt down ... BUT you have to stick to your exercise routine - that's a total must.
Awe, thank you Avy!! I am certainly going to stick with exercising. I can't wait until I'm in love and it doesn't feel like I'm walking through quick sand to get to the gym. :)
