I'm just not that Good at This

My life has hit a very stressful wall. I'm just sick with worry about my son and his family. Don't want to go into all the details at this time, but the last thing on my mind is eating correctly. The second thing on my mind after my son and his family is eating everything that doesn't get away from me.

Lord, I wish I were wired differently. I hate these cold, rainy days that make me want to eat comfort food in the first place. This on top of one of those days and I can't wait to eat -- Lots of things. Chocolate, salty things, you name it.

I think I'll have to go buy larger jeans.

Today, so far

I'm doing good so far today. I've had oatmeal with a banana for breakfast, which is one of my favorites. And some tomato juice. I slept rather late after a bad night of sleep. This is just to let you know that I'm still plugging along. Hope your day is going well.

Update very early Tuesday

I am not doing all of this the way I had planned to. Let's just say, it's not going well. Why is it that something you know you need to do, that you even want to accomplish, is so hard to do? I know it would help tremendously if I could exercise in some way, even if it's just walking for a bit each day. But my knee is giving me hell -- still. (I'm so looking forward to getting medical insurance again on March 1st, so that I can go talk to the doctor about this particular problem.) I did the wash today, wearing my new mud boots, and it killed me every time I had to bend my knee to get my foot in the boot. By the end of the day, tears were forming in my eyes each time I did it. I did not finish washing all the clothes. It's supposed to be raining cats and dogs again by Wednesday night, so there is more washing and mud boots in my future for later today.

I'll do my best to give you a better update next time.
