Post #600

Hard to believe that I have written 600 posts. Especially for the fact that I never considered myself a writer. I have definitely improved my writing skills through my blog. I consider myself fairly tech savvy but I have also learned quite a few technical things from blogging too.

I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. It is not one particular thing but a combination of things. My , finances, my mother, Dave, work, bio family. It has really been emotionally taxing. In the past, I chose food to numb the pain and stress but with my new lifestyle it is not an option.  I have found, however, that those habits can slowly slip back into the scene. Last night Dave brought home my crab tostada and I usually only finish half because it is pretty big. Well last night I was upset about finances and I gorged out on the salad and chips and had dessert after that! I was full when I went to bed and I was belly aching this morning and it has been awhile since I have felt like that. I used to have this feeling often but boy oh boy I do not miss it. Blerghh...

But alas, today is a new day. Have I mentioned there is a workout room on site where I work? It is fairly small but does have everything one would need for a good workout. I have access to it 24/7 and have I ever used it??? That would be a NO! I went to check it out yesterday because they had recently remodeled it. I am going to make it a goal to workout at least once there this week. I could have lunch in the courtyard and then workout for 20-30 mins and then go back to work. All I need is to bring workout clothes. I have shoes in my car. Hope you have a good day! Until next time...

    Good idea on the work work out. I need to get in to working out after work too. We can do it girly.

  3. Amazing how crummy a lot of food can make you feel now. Didn't we used to get happiness from it? No??? Funny how the mind forgets. Sorry things are overwhelming for you - maybe the gym will help you work out some of your feelings. Hang in there, my friend.

    You are doing fantastic on this journey! I know what you mean about sliding backward. It happens gradually and can definitely sneak up on a person!
