May 27, 2012- The Heat is On

Weight loss for the week: 2 pounds

This week was insane for a variety of reasons.  Work stuff is changing- my assistant had her last week since she is about to start grad school.  Which means getting the room and the kids in gear for a new teacher in the room in a week or so.  I've been through this a few times before, so I'm getting more used to it.  And that's good because change is inevitable and while I'm not always good at handling it, I'm getting much better at just accepting it and going with the flow.  After you give me 5 minutes to stress a little. 

A little personal drama this week.  My guy is going through a bunch of stuff and while he's been giving me the bullet points, he won't talk about it in any real depth.  I know, I know, guys aren't supposed to talk about their feelings or whatever and I should just move on.  But frankly, if I had to learn how to vocalize and handle all of my dramas and personal hells, men can too.  Instead of giving them an easy way out, let's help them learn how to process their emotions.  It's 2012, not 1950, we can expect more and quit settling for less. 

Also, had to get one of my car windows fixed.  I had a garbage bag duct taped to the gaping hole for a few days, so classy I know.  Which meant I barely drove anywhere for fear of someone I know seeing the state of my car. I hate dealing with car repairs.  I find it embarrassing to have noticeable issues with my car and then get stressed until it gets fixed.  And I get stressed thinking about how much I have to spend to get it fixed.  

Because of random stresses, I haven't eaten as well as I know I should have.  I still stayed within my daily points everyday but Saturday- which has long been a goal of mine.  But I was pretty much skipping lunches to get other things done and usually ate a crappy muffin for breakfast.  Not much fruit or vegetables during the week.  But I still worked with my points each day to try and keep from using my Weekly Points until Saturday. 

I am getting myself in gear this week though, especially since I have a three-day weekend.  I am going to go to the store and make some meals for the week, and get a few Smart Ones frozen meals.  And I will definitely keep up the walking, etc.
