Blah....

This past week has not been one of my most memorable. I hate stress. Seriously. Especially since my old method of handling it was to overeat like a pig. Now I have to "channel my anger" and "breathe deeply". Working out helps relieve some stress but not all of it. I quit smoking 4 years ago, I eat healthy now....all of my old vices are gone. Dammit. Relearning how to deal with stress truly sucks. If you've read my previous posts, you know yoga isn't currently an option. Maybe someday soon. *sigh* The joys of reinventing yourself! I know my hard work will pay off, but I am at that point right now where it is most difficult to stay focused. I have come quite a way, but I have such a long way to go. Life seems to be championing against me at every turn. Days like this make me want to hide out on my couch all day, scarfing pizza and chex mix. Don't worry, I wouldn't dare. I have made progress and I don't intend to start all over again. I just needed to vent. Every girl needs that from time to time. Now, I will quit my whining and go do my workout. Until next time....

  1. You know you've made real progress when you consciously don't turn to food (or alcohol or shopping etc) when something is getting you down and instead to do something that will make you feel better longer than a few minutes. proud of you!
