Flustered, Confused, Taking a break maybe…
It’s been a roller coaster here since October. I’ve done some things right and some things not so right. I am pleased with my accomplishments and forgiven myself for “oopses” I am so tired this week. Tired, frustrated, sad, oh the list goes on and on. I’m not alone many of us get here. I’m working overtime today. My house is a mess - will be working on that afterwork and tomorrow. I have no meals planned, etc, etc. What’s that I said earlier - “when I fail to plan, I plan to fail…” Well I don’t want to fail, and although excercise is good for me, running on this hamster wheel is getting me no where.
Everyday I log in and read some blogs, check on my buddies, sometimes I comment, sometimes I don’t. By logging in daily, I remind myself why I am doing this, where I want to go and how I want to get there. I remind myself that there are a whole lot of people out there cheering for me - and even some that need my cheering. (I have had some friend issues going on here at home, so knowing you kind people are here for me make the world of difference.)
I’m taking this weekend for sure - and maybe next week too, depending on how things go. I will be cleaning my house and my spirit. Once the clutter is picked up and/or tossed out, I will clear away the dust and cobwebs. Then I will have a clean slate - something pleasant to look at. I am referring to both the house and my spirit. Once the house is back in order and I have meals planned, I will eliminate a lot of stress. Then I can sit down and plan my daily exercise. I won’t be completely out of the loop, but if I take the time to not worry about what I am having for the next meal, or taking the time to journal, I can get better organized to succeed.
No one can do this for me - it is all on me to change my habits from bad to good - but your support and encouragement are very important. As I take this little break to regroup and organize, know that I will be checking in. (Deb I will still be doing quarters when I earn them.) Today is the 10th. I am giving myself a week to get it together. If you don’t see some activity from me starting around the 17th, I hope someone here will hunt me down and give me a swift reminder kick.
Love you all.

we all sometimes need time to BREATHE!! There is nothing wrong with that… and when our bodies and minds tell us we need it we better listen… So take this time to reflect, organize and motivate yourself…
Bonus: all the cleaning and organizing equals excercise!!! YAY@ So you’ll be burning calories and it not seem like a chore!!
Hope to see ya back soon!
oh darn it…it ate my comment! Thats rude! lol. Check your folder girl!
Love Debbie
We all need love and acceptance, friends are a gift from God, and never are they more wonderful than when you are doing a big thing like you are doing now! Go clean that house and make those plans, I’ll join you on my end! Prayers for us both!
Believe me, girl, I will hunt you down!
Yes, we all need time to get our acts together now and then. I just had to do that myself!
Make sure you check in on the forum with our 500 lb. Challenge!
Big HUGS!
Sometimes we all need to step back and reevaluate why we are here. that exactly what you are doing. you will reevaluate and come back swinging full force and achiece your goals! you’ve got everyone here that is supporting you every step of the way.
Don’t take too big of a break. My husband is a counselor and helps me quite a bit with this journey. He says we often subconciencly plan for a chance to fail. We create situations where we can fail easily. Plan to come back ….pick a day you will return by…..please, you are one of my first buddies…..

Thank you all for your support and friendship. I am a 1/3 of the way thru the house. My breakfast and lunch were ok yesterday - dinner was fattening but that’s ok. Today will be church, grocery shopping (for healthy things), some more cleaning before dinner out and to the theater. I still check in daily and read up on everyone - your not far from my thoughts. I’m giving myself a week to get life in order - if all goes well I will be back before that week is over.
I know you’ll be back Teresa. I know you want to win this battle. Its common to feel like you are feeling, but I have faith in you girlfriend
See you in a week, if not all of us here will hunt you down!!
Hugs

You said two important words… regroup and organize. I think you’ve made a good decision. If the spirit needs some work, then that should take priority. Can’t work on the outside until we work on the inside.
I’m marking my calendar for the 17th. Don’t make me hunt you down.
While you are cleaning your house, turn the music up loud and sing at the top of your voice. Dance around while you go from room to room. Not only does it make the work more pleasant, but it’s movement and will do your spirit a world of good. Give it a try, k?
Hang in there, chin up, and keep in touch buddy.
Love and mucho HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS,
