Just shooting for a good day…
I get the desire for this all to be over sometime. Like maybe there is an end and there isn’t is there? I suppose I have read about people reaching it to goal and it is still a struggle. Silly me.
It came up in am email yesterday that I had a thought about getting unwanted attention and that may have been a trigger as much as the icing. Because really I have had treats on other days in the last 11 days. I have had high point days with no guilt. But something in me just needed to turn on the goal. What can one do to not allow that? …must think more on this.
When I think about it there is a lot of stress. I am leaving this week to go for some “thing” with my partner. We are going to see his family *shivers of excitement* and I also have to leave my cat with some people for a few days. I am nervous. I mean I do not want to go (but I want to be there for David) and I do not want to leave Oscar. Though I am sure he will have much fun.
Life is stress and life is how you see it I suppose so I guess it does not have to be so stressful…lmao I want to be strong. I do not want to cave. I have no big plans for the days prior to Friday’s weigh in. I am taking each day as it comes and making it the best I can. Today is easy to plan as I have to do some things before work, get my supper ready and head out to work. Plan for the day: Vega, Elliptical, Get Ripped video, breakfast/vitamins and chlorella, clean up the condo, sort recycling, shower, Love Oscar, lunch, walk to work, snack, supper, walk back home, snuggles and SLEEP…. Get enough water through out my day. That is it.
*note to self* Must get new music on the iPod as I am bored to shit! I need walking to be FUN !
Best face the day……. Soon it will be Sunday… ha !
I really appreciated Inna’s level-headedness and beaUtiful buddy spirit yesterday. Thank you dear buddy. *hugs*
And… hugs to everyone. We can have a great week. *strength, will & the love for ourselves*
hehe… *shivers of excitement*… how you do make me laugh and smile my friend.
Have you ever considered downloading comedian acts on your iPOD for a fresh change of pace? Really gets you laughing and the more you laugh the more energy you give your walks.
Stress = UGH! One day at a time is the only way to take it. And may we both remember this week…
Sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, all must be tasted.

Love and hugs,

Jennifer,
thank you for the sweet note!
I’m glad I could be there; you were there for me too many times in the two weeks that I’ve been on the site already. I’m glad you are sounding better today and I hope your day is good and sunny.
P.S. I hear you on leaving your cat - mine are in my dad’s “custody” - he’ll be ecstatic when you are back:).
If you can just wait out the stressful days, more good days will be here before you know it. I am sure Oscar will be fine when you are gone
Hope your trip goes well!
You go girl!! Keep doing what you’re doing!! You’re right, the struggle will never be over but you can make it fun the whole way through.
I feel that way sometimes, you know, wanting to get to that finish line, but for us, there never will be a finish line. Reading blogs from people like Wonderwoman and Tasha, who have reached their goals and continue to struggle puts things in perspective, at the same time, I try not to think about it because this knowledge zaps the energy from me.
We are work in progress my sweet friend, and sometimes, the best thing to do, is put one foot infront of the other, even when we don’t want to.
Hang in there, the weekend will be over before you know it and Oscar will be taken care of. TRY not to stress too much, although I know that’s easier said than done!! Sending tons of love!
