I am SOOO glad this week is coming to an end!!!

Hi everyone. This has been a terrible week for me. Work has been VERY stressful, I am eating myself silly and I haven't exercised for 4 days now!!!! I just can't tell you how bad work has been. I messed up a trip for my boss that he went on from last Saturday to Tuesday. I was so sure he was going to give me heck over it when he returned on Wednesday. Thankfully he didn't but man was that awful. Then I messed up another trip and missed a cancellation deadline. I have thankfully nearly resolved the issue and will get a refund. It wasn't pretty getting it though. My other boss is getting busier and busier so my work is piling up. I am working hard to stay on top of things but find that some things are just slipping through the cracks, which is just not good in the financial world. I am sure I'll get a grip at work again in the next day or two. As for the eating, I just don't know what to think. I eat a meal and it seems that an hour later I am ready to eat again. I have been very busy at home and not taking lunches so I am not getting in exercise and I have been sneaking in an extra 45 minutes of sleep so I am not getting up early to get in my strength training. I must get back on track and like right now!!! So, that has been my week. I am sure that the weekend will be very refreshing. Meghan is having her birthday party sleep over tonight and I am excited for her. I made a really yummy apple pie ice cream cake for her. I hope you all have a very refreshing weekend as well. Thanks for letting me whine! Hugs, Robin

Hey Robin No beating yourself up! We all have peaks and valleys .. just becareful not to get stuck in the valley! It's good to hear that you are able to work out the cancellation thing. That is a REALLY sick feeling when you think that a small slip up has a major financial impact. I am a 'manager' here but have a lot of administrative responsibilities and making sure that everything is going the way it is supposed to sometimes gets away from me and I have been lucky that there hasn't been any fall out when I get a little behind. I've already whined in other posts about having a colonoscopy on Monday so my weekend will be consumed (ha ha) with the prep for that. Tomorrow should be a sort of normal day, but Sunday will be clear liquids and I don't do NO food by mouth well at all, especially for a full day and then of course the procedure itself is not until 1:45 on Monday afternoon, so it's really a day and a half without eating ... arghhhhh!!! Hugs, Mo

Thanks Mo. I am trying hard not to beat myself up. It's difficult though. Part of me feels that it is necessary so that I won't go back to old habits but I also know that being hard on me can bring me down emotionally. That will just begin a vicious cycle that I don't want to get on right now. The colonoscopy just doesn't sound fun at all. I hear you about the no food for a day and a half. I couldn't eat for 4 hours before my appt yesterday. Well, I had breakfast at 6:30am so by the time I had my appt I hadn't eaten for nearly 11 hours! I was hungry by then. I mean, I am used to getting something to eat every 4 hours. I hope that your Saturday is full of fun! Hugs, Robin

Hang in there Mo, Just five hours to go and you will be all through. Image the relief you will have when everything shows up pearly white and you will be free of another one for five years. In relationship to other events in our lives it is a small price to pay for a good bill of health. I will be thinking of you throughout the day and anxiously waiting for your post report. By the way, I appreciate your kind words 2 1/2 weeks ago before my surgery and now most things are on the up except of course the scale, which showed 20 less this am. Adrienne
