It was so busy at work that the day flew by in what seemed like seconds. I had forgotten to eat breakfast, skipped 10 am snack because we were so busy that I just forgot, had Smart Ones pizza for lunch with a lit n fit yogurt and the grapes from 10am snack that I still had. Then 3pm came and went; same problem; didn't even take a bathroom break all day except for lunch. Fatigue hit when I got home- but no rest for the weary. sigh...
I wrote my log for body conditioning class and then the scholarship letter for my husbands fellow scuba instructor and the athletic director of the college to sign; then my hubby wanted dinner. I was so tired. I got away with serving him Clam chowder soup by Progresso, and a biscuit and I had a smart ones and a biscuit. I accompanied him to scuba class and watched him teach until it was time for my class.
Body conditioning class was great. I did 40 minutes; worked hard and sweat profusely. I lent a fellow student my notes so he was able to have the info to write his program; lent another girl a pen and did okay for myself tonight. I got an approving nod and a smile from the instructor on my way out the door. I guess that it didn't hurt that I handed my weight program paper in early since it's not due until November 23. I feel like I accomplished something and I get a second wind. That always happens. Plus my mood gets better. They say that exercise releases endorphins, which are some kind of enzymes in the brain that make you feel happy. I'm here to tell you that I think that myth is true. Maybe we should ask Dr. Oz?! I'm no expert after all.
I have been feeling discouraged because of the number on the scale and because of all of the 'occasions' coming up, beginning with Halloween, my anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and all of the parties that surround this time of the year. I fight it every step of the way- but I'm weak. Food is my drug of choice. I think to myself 'am I fighting a battle of futility?' Then I answer myself. 'no.' I am making better choices even if they aren't as good as I'd like them to be all of the time. Where before I would've eaten a ton of Halloween candies and ate at all of the office parties- of which there are plenty- I had none or ate moderately most of the time. I'm exercising twice a week. I was doing nothing before that. So I guess that no matter what, I'm inching my way toward the right track and how can that be futile?
So here I am again, taking charge and moving forward. I'm feeling good about that. One day at a time...one hour at a time...one minute at a time...one second at a time...
Remember: You too look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will look that much better. Do not let your body stand in the way of you having a good time. Stay positive. See you next Blog! ;-)
