Confessions, ramblings, and a plan

Good heavens you are human after all!! Man, aren't we all...and maybe its the time of year - are we all feeling like slugs because of the stinking winter weather that just won't let go away?

For me lately my problem has been excessive boredom - at work - but I can't quit a great job just cuz I don't have a lot going on there right now, and I get tired of surfing the net so I turn to food. I try not to keep junk at my desk but it somehow manages to creep in there - I'm a Gemini and that damn evil twin must be doing it!! I keep trying to think of things I can do at work when I get bored and want to put something in my mouth - I am definitely open to suggestions.

And of course boredom breeds boredom - we have fallen into this bad habit of coming home, me making dinner, then sitting in front of the boob tube watching 3 episodes of NCIS, then whatever I have Tivo'd or HGTV. OMG could I be any more pathetic? I haven't exercised in weeks other than walking and I have a lot of nerve counting that as exercise. I have 30 lbs to go to my goal but at this rate its never going to happen.

Thank you for being so honest and upfront about your struggles lately - it helps to post when you know you're not alone in this, and that none of us are perfect.

So  now I'm going to get off my lard a** and get back to work, and then I think I'll go in and ride my bike, then shower. Sounds like a good plan.

Pam we all have those ****ty weeks.  At least we are all still human.  Time gets away from us and we have to say whoa and rein in back in and say to ourselves get back on track.  We get busy, stuff happens, You took ownership of it.  Like I used to hear at WW you chewed it, you ate it, you swallowed it move on and start back on track.  You and Brian are going thru alot. Good that you dumped the wine coolers. Like you said it will always be a battle no matter how long but you are back on track and thats the bottom line.  I learn alot from when you post and once again I learned something new from you today and I say thanks. 

Pam this is familiar territory for me. I like you am working way too much and do not have balance.  This causes me to not take care of myself as I should. That work coupled with the emotional and physical roller coaster I have been on since my PS. It equals, brusied self esteem. out of control eating and I am sure a increase in the number on the scale. I am too chicken to get on it now.

I have turned a corner the last week and I am trying to do what I know works. This is all you need to do. You have realized it, acknowledged it and are able to change it. Liz is right it takes alot of planning ahead to make sure we have all that we need.
If you and I are gonna work like dogs then we need to do even a better job of prep, planning and
accountabiity. we have to make the environment we are in work for us, if it isnt.

You can do this. You need balance. I feel your pain. It is ok, This is a marathon not a sprint and we will often eat a bag of doritos LOL

I can totally can relate... I can't workout because being at the gym makes me sick... so I am only there to work and out ASAP... yeah my Asthma is still acting up bad...

My other issue is right now is that since I'm pregnant I have had to major up my calories... to help with that I have been ordered to eat more carbs and fat by the barix nut and my high risk doc... I am really worried about after all of this cutting out this extra once the baby comes... I'm trying to do it in a smart way... but some days it is easier to grab a small bag of chips instead of trying to come up with something else...

Hi Pam,

I see the others have already given you excellent advice, wonderful suggestions and have assured you that you are not alone in this battle.  I just want to thank you for your honest post and want to offer you my support.  Please know that you are never alone and I know you can do what it takes to get back on track.  You are a wealth of information, an incredibly hard worker and an inspiration to so many.  You are also human and yes, it is still a struggle each and every day.  I know you can do this!!!

Thinking of you,
Lisa :)
