OK...now I know who this is!!.....you have changed your name....good to hear from you
Its going to take me awhile to feel relaxed....but I am certainly better then I have been the past 4 months preparing for the sale etc.....
I feel for you working shifts.....I never had to do that but my husband is a cop so I saw the havoc it wreaked on him the odd time he went off the 8 - 5 routine.....there is also a real weariness from years of being overtired...mentally as much as anything I think....I hope your light at the end of the tunnel is not too far off
As far as the eating goes.....thankfully I kept on OH the past few years as it at least kept me marginally focused....but you know I have gained and am trying to wrestle the beast again....
What has made me feel THE BEST the past week is knowing I have my eating on a better path....to me that is the biggest mental lift - to know I am in control again......I am only 4 days into great eating again and the mental lift is tremendous...
Take it easy....I wont say your name but its good to hear from you again
Ahh Wendy it"s so tough eh?.....especially when you begin to eat sugar and carbs.....my fav at night when I couldn't sleep was buttered toast and milk....I was sure it would make me relax and sleep...and sometimes it worked.....but mentally it was a downer...
We each have to figure this out....I do not want to go back to where I was...EVER.....and I could see myself gaining 10 pounds a year until I was back where I started.....its still going to be difficult eating correctly in retirement....the stress I gave up is one problem gone....but now I will have to deal with more time on my hands to think about food.....my plan is to fill that time with walking or another form of exercise.....
What is amazing is how mentally strong and good I feel getting control back.....the big thing is getting back on the horse when you fall off....and I know I will fall off....its the start again thats the toughie
All the best to you....hope you figure out a plan that will work for you....because going back to where you started is not going to help you physically or mentally....take care of yourself
Good morning,
Way to get back on that Barb!!
I'm still trying this melatonin concoction to help me sleep. UP at 4:30 today. I just feel like a zombie. Iron infusion on the 19th...here's hoping it helps!
I will try spinning again today...made it to 1/2 an hour last time. Running is still touch and go for me for now. Oh well. Lots of chauffering for me tonight, so lunch and dinner are the same.

S: rest of yogurt concoction (it's my word of the day)
L: chicken and veggies
