Stress


To say I've been stressed lately would be putting it mildly. I have been internally freaking out for weeks now. Money has gotten so tight things are not good, not good at all. Thankfully, I investigated ways to get out of the situation we are in and a path appeared yesterday. I'm not going to go into detail just suffice it to say there may be a light at the end of this tunnel.

Healthwise I've been doing really good. Eating has been pretty good. I've been working out and actually following the schedule for Bob's Inside Out Method. It's exciting that I've actually been following the schedule without trying to change it up and that I've continued after taking a day off. That is one of my biggest downfalls - taking a day off that becomes 2 and 3 and a week... it's horrible. But I worked out Monday, took Tuesday off, worked out Wednesday, took Thursday off then worked out today. Yeah me!!!!

I have noticed no difference on the scale though. I know it's only been a few days and I need to be patient, but the first few days is when I usually notice a change and then it stabilizes for a few days, then moves again. So why the stall? I believe it's the stress. I'm not stress eating - wow, how different - but I am constantly worried and that releases the stress hormone and that makes you store fat. Hopefully, now that I've found a possible solution, the stress level will decrease and I will start losing.

In other health news, we have realized that it is almost time for Hubby to start looking around for medicare supplement plans!! How is that possible? How can we be this old? It seems like just yesterday we were 20 somethings with years ahead of us yet. Wow!! Time really does fly when you're having fun.

Conversation with Hubby
