Whoops...

Sorry I haven't been around much lately! Here is a little update...

Things I love right now/Things Going on in my world

• My Mix CD that I made recently- I can’t take it out of my car!
• The cool crisp morning we had this morning! It actually felt like we might cool off sometime soon!
• The rain we got!
• Dusty for staying on my butt about weighing in! (I haven’t done it yet, but I will SOON!)
• Pears…I am loving PEARS right now!
• My new little list book…got it at Pier One a couple of months ago and I freaking love it! It is helping me remember what I need to get done!
• Helping LuAnn with weddings on the weekend! Even in the pouring rain we still have fun!
• Putting new pictures in my frames around the house!
• Eating better, still not 100% but getting SO much better than I have been for the last couple of months!

• Girl’s Night with LuAnn and Autumn to celebrate Autumn’s Birthday…HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUTUMN!
• Football! I LOVE that college football is back! Heck, I even love having the NFL back on. It just makes Saturdays and Sundays feel right again. If only the weather would stay cool, then it would feel just like it was supposed to!

• Pumpkin Spice Frappucinos

Things I have coming up!
• Trip to Dallas this weekend to see my “family”, Lindsay (my new friend from the 3-day), Rachel (one of my BFFs from high school), Amy (one of my new blogging friends)…it is going to be a GREAT weekend!

There you have it folks...

Balance?

Will eating it change your life now? Or, will not eating it now change your life more?


Ok, so here I am a week later and up until pretty much yesterday I was doing great! And then I can’t explain what happened next. I can only tell you that I am ashamed of myself. Ashamed that I let words, lack of words and finally emotions get the best of me. I ate and ate and ate to hide the hurt, the pain, the disappointment in myself and others.


I have been doing so well…I started the Couch to 5K program with my girl LuAnn. I went for a 15+ mile bike ride on Sunday with LuAnn and her husband. I have been eating well, tracking, working on my apartment. There is no reason for what happened yesterday! Which makes it even harder to deal with today.

There are always going to be ups and downs in my life. There are going to be daily struggles with making the right choices, with food and with life. I have to find balance.

How do I find balance? How do you find balance?

I don’t know why but I have always liked lists. Write it all down and work on crossing it off one thing at a time! Here is my to do list for today, maybe it will help me be accountable. I think I am going to have to break this down and take it one day at a time!

To do Today:

• Clean my desk at work, organize, shred and file
• Couch to 5K with LuAnn
• Clean Kitchen
• Take out Trash
• Grocery Store
• Pick myself back up and move on (track and make good food choices)
• Stop worrying about people that don’t matter…there are lots of people that do love me just the way that I am and I should focus on them!
