Vortex of Terror





Okay, I am spiraling out of control.

Maybe not beyond help.  But, this is really bad.  Did you know that jetlag + 5pm + church brought dinner + sugar in the house =

Oh yeah.

Sugar High.

My weight is hovering around the low from before.  And by hovering I mean fluctuating a pound or two above 194.

Ish.

Yeah, I need to reign it in.  I need to be exercising.  I'm hoping this jetlag will be over soon.

It's KILLING me.

    It's gonna past. You know this. You have past experience to draw from.

    "He" knows you and "He" loves you. You are not alone!

    You can do hard things. Hell, you're a woman aren't you??!!

    Now go get 'em.....oh and you are loved!

    Ugh, I know the pull of that evil sugar! So hard to get out of its grip!

    But, I know you can do it! Hang in there and like skinnysushi said...one bite at a time!

    Sugar is amazing, isn't it? And not in a good way. Sadly, so yummy.

    Hang in there. And maybe if you try exercising, even for a short time, it will help the jet lag?

    If I could invent a magic pill that counteracts our brains thinking "I'm tired" then translating that into "I need cake" I'd be a very rich woman I think. (And a lot thinner).

    Hang in there baby, it will be better soon.

    I'm right where you are and have a horrific weight to post this morning. You can do it. This too shall pass.

    One day at a time, right? Isn't that what you have so kindly been telling me?

    Please allow yourself the same, hon...this too will be but a bink in the grand scheme of things.

    I went through that last week when I flew back from Florida. I felt like junk for 4 days, and during that time I just couldn't stop myself from eating things that I shouldn't have been eating, and I also couldn't work out. It will pass, just hang on.

    always look on the bright side- at least you are still hovering around your low... i had a bad 3 1/2 weeks and gained 12 pounds... i think i ate everything in the pictures you posted and more. take a few days to get back into your groove, and you'll be fine.:)

    I'm right there with ya! Exactly what Helen said: 'I'm tired' translates into 'I need cake.' And definitely the 'church brought dinner' plus 'sugar in the house' part of the equation make it way harder.

    So now . . . just climb back on the wagon and strap yourself in! [hopefully, I can follow my own advice ;)]

    Step away from the sugar!

    Is it possible to get it all out of the house? Might help.

    And once the jetlag wears off - go exercise! You will feel much better.

    Just don't let a little spiral become a big one.

    I wish I had some magic words for you. But I've been going through the same thing. What's going on in your life right now? Lots of stress? Exercise does help, but I'm not much of one to be offering wisdom to anyone. Maybe knowing that we're all in this together will help. Can't hurt, right?

    Let's reframe; The jet lag isn't killing you, it's making you desire/appreciate routine, stability, and normalcy (your normal). How's that?!?!? I did have a pretty great week! The weekend...is here...THANK GOD!

    So sorry that you are tired and tempted! Just try and wait it out. Tell yourself, if I can just wait it out one hour then I can do two.

    Hope you get your energy back soon!

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
