I feel kind of like this picture, which looks just like my puppy Lily, but isn’t. She does this thing with her tongue – exactly like the picture – when she’s happy. I’m happy too, but boy am I exhausted. I tried sleeping in but my body wakes me up like clockwork at 6:00 every morning. Ugh.
I’m fighting off a sinus infection, too. Um, not good. I’m grateful that my body has held up as well as it has this last month. I’ve been trucking down to tend to my mom every day since she was admitted to the hospital plus holding down a job. My house cleaning has suffered, though – ewww.
My weight loss has stalled, pretty much, the last couple weeks. I’ve not been as active as I should be, not tracking my food diligently or precisely, and not drinking as much water as I should be. Definitely not getting the kind of rest my body needs either. The only reason I’ve not gained 5 pounds is because I am climbing stairs, I did do a 5k run and a 10k walk last weekend, and I’m kinda-sorta paying attention to how many points I am eating every day. I’m still stress eating, but that will change.
My focus on health and weight loss over the last year and a half has really paid off because I would never have been able to survive the last month (taking care of mom, work, family, etc.) otherwise. I’d be flat in bed and unable move. I’m happy I’m able to move more, even with the fibromyalgia – and believe me, it’s still there. I’m just ignoring it – when it will let me, that is.
Now for another cup of coffee so I can get rolling into the weekend.
