So very bummed :(

How was your Christmas????  I hope things were good... ours was really quite exciting with the Disney tickets:)  I set up a treasure hunt that took my 6 & 13 y/o kiddo's on a 10 step trek all over the house and yard! The ending clue was to find a gift for each behind the couch... it was matching rolling duffle bags- each held a Disney cap and two parts to the last clue.... they put it together and read that in 66 days we'd be going to DISNEYLAND!  My son still cannot believe it :) We have a NYE dinner coming up- we are having "Turducken"... .dh is cooking it. In case you don't know... a Turducken is a turkey that has been boned & stuffed with a DUCK (& dressing) ... and the duck has been stuffed with a HEN!  Interesting.   I am NOT NOT cooking ANYTHING for desert. I will make a plain old dinner- the rest of dh's family can do the rest- and they can EAT the rest as well! I had/have to come back... I *NEED* the support of you all around me to get back on track again. I know that sounds selfish... I have had a huge bout of depression this past week- have really got *nothing* done with my whole week off!  Arrggg!  And the WORST part... I have just fallen on my ass this week :(  I have felt punkish and just felt at that moment- that I just did NOT care :(  But I know I DO CARE!  I've not weighed in since... hmmm... I think it was last Sunday or Monday? I was hanging at 192 still on that day- then I let myself loose control and have just been really bad :(    On top of that- and possibly a part of it all... my TOM arrived (AGAIN!) the other day and I've been unable to get very far away from my home. Things were bad and I really need my Dr. to get back from freakin Africa so I can see him!  I know it's all a part of life but this really bites!  I am looking at this every 24 days- lasting (BAD!) for about 10. That is not leaving me much "freedom"! Anyhow- I'm down... REALLY down & I let MYSELF down in the meantime :(  I need to get back to where I am happy again- and I know only I can do this, but I just think you have all been so inspirational for me... I really need to come here and keep up!  Thanks for listening. I'm off now till Monday- then it's back to work! Hopefully my body will mellow out so I can clean my house before this big family NYE thing and WORK!

Sounds like a bit of the "end of year blues"...  I know it well.  Yanno what's so grand about the New Year... it's like we get to start all over again fresh and inspired.  I'm guessing the stress of the dinner on top of TOM isn't helping matters much right now and all I can suggest is to DO the DO and get through it.. and remember that our worlds start anew in a few short days! By the way.. what you did with the kids is FANTASTIC!  I wish I were that creative!  Revel in those talents.. not everyone has them!! God bless! Lori

Aaw, but you've done so well..your being too hard on yourself.  It's a bad time of the year, and your on vacation to boot!  You need to be proud of what you've achieved and just forget all of this last week and get back on track NOW.  If your anything like me your depression will get the best of ya if you don't do anything about it.  It's the DEVIL I swear!!  So weigh yourself in the morning and get that WW book back out. :)  Your kids are counting on you, YOUR counting on you! :)  You know why you started this journey, it's not time to quite it yet.  Once you start eating healthy again you'll start feeling so much better.

 Wow, it's so much easier said then done isn't it!  But I know you can do it, you have the power in you.  And Disney land in 66 days, get your booty in gear girl!!

Yup, the holidays blues slump - most of us feel that! Just realize how very ****t-ae your body feels right now as compared to how AWESOME you felt when you did it all better. It won't be long, you will be back to "normal"! Hey,  did you get the double park tickets - California Advenutreland is pretty awesome! It is like a boardwalk type of thing. You are going to have a blast!!!!!!
