Pushing Forward
So I have written two private blogs in one weekend I figure I can come up with something to post public. I don’t feel like I’m holding myself accountable if I don’t go public. I have been depressed for about a week. I have also been sick and had yet another sinus infection. When I am depressed, I am more shy than usual which explains the private blogs. Not to mention, I really don’t like to be a downer. I don’t feel people want to come on Buddyslim to be put into a funk. I know reading what I wrote pushed me further into mine. So I am going to avoid discussing the whole woe is me part.
I went to the gym Saturday and Sunday after taking 5 days off from exercising. The five days wasn’t planned but there it is. The crazy high calorie days weren’t planned either. They happened and I am moving on. Luckily, I didn’t end up gaining, which is very strange. I feel like I need to be punished but I got a get out of jail free card instead. In truth, I don’t need to gain weight to know letting myself go for a week is not good. It makes it that much harder to get back into the swing of healthy living. It also makes it feel more like a diet. If I have a high calorie day once a week, that is not the norm, that is the exception. If I go crazy for a week, being healthy is no longer a normal part of my routine. I can tell as I’m writing this, I’m still in a funky mood. I feel Attila sneaking out more and more these days. She keeps taunting me with all of my faults and failures.
One thing I have found about myself is change in my routine always equals some form of disaster for a healthy lifestyle. I am so not a go with the flow kinda gal. As long as outside factors don’t affect my eating, sleeping, and exercising; things go well. So I need to learn to take things in stride. I need to work on being flexible and find a way to accomplish what I need to regardless of the circumstances. One positive thing I can say; I have not given up. Which the old me would have by now. The new me knows this is for life and I can’t quit each time things get hard. I may stray off track for a bit, but I will find my way back on.

you have a long journey with weight and my oldest daughter does also. I need to lose 25. But my point is you will get there and you are young enough to avoid the permanent health issues. So, pick yourself up and be thankful that you can do it. And I will be here for you if you need to talk depressing or happy ….It doesn’t matter to me. Just reach out. Good luck and write back if you want to. Carol

Glad you are feeling better and are trying to get back into it.
From what I read a few high calorie days a week is ok and even good. But I know that everytime I have one I always feel guilty too.
Hey I too always get sinus infections and I know how crappy you feel and how it sets you back BUT just take it one day at a time. Just take it one hour at a time if needed.
(((((Tina))))) You can do it, and we are here for you.
Tina, you are doing so great! The fact that you didn’t gain shows that even though you did have some high cal days, you did good the other days! No beating yourself up over a few high cal days.. they are going to happen no matter what because that’s how life is! You rock!! Keep it up!!
