A good word for this week.
I'm trying so hard to stay on track, in the face of some serious stressors.
1) My grandmother - my nonnie - is in the hospital. She broke her hip and had surgery. She's all alone in New York - and it just kills me. Our family is going to go to stay with her in stages, but for 2 days she's going to be alone...
2) Work is out of control crazy - between new hardware, new software, new cases, oh yeah - and me being the IT guy in addition to the attorney guy. I'm putting in 10-12 hours days - daily.
3) Food - I'm doing OKAY - but missing the occassional meal and making it up with somewhat healthy alternatives - powerbars - jerky - etc. Not ideal - but not candy.
4) Exercise - um....right. So far - none. So for three days this week that means tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.
And that's what I'm going to do - get up early tomorrow and start the day off right with a nice jog...and focus my frustration into that walk.
I'm trying so hard to stay "on the wagon" as it were. And so far - I'm succeeding.
That's positive, isn't it?
That is very positive!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to keep on the right track when so many things are going on in your life to throw you off.
Even if you falter a little with the exercise (although I have heard that excercise is a good stress reducer) it is important that you don't slide too far from the advances you have made by choosing healthy snack alternatives.
I am glad to see you are making healty snack options for yourself! That is great. That is my one hard thing I deal with. I too started working out again and gave up Chocolate and Candy for Lent so if I fall back on it, I am falling back on a commitment I made to God. I love reading your Blog and I hope you keep up the good work!
