Well, after my not so healthy weekend, Monday was good…then
Valentine’s day. I thought it would be no problem because I
didn’t really have anything to worry about, until a co-worker
brought in my favourite chocolates in the whole world. I was counting
honestly…for a while. Then I lost count and gave in all together. SO, I
guess I didn’t even make it to Tuesday before I was not tracking
everything I ate. But I’m not going to give up. There is still hope
for me! In my old department where I worked they knew not to bring me
chocolate of any kind, but in my new area, and since I have not been
very disciplined the past
On Tuesday I had a session with my trainer but something came up and he
wasn’t able to make it. We had pasta with veggies for dinner and then
took Levi to his second last dog training class. I felt like a terrible
person because we had to teach them two new tricks over the last week,
but life just got in the way and that didn’t happen. All of the other
dogs showed off their tricks while Levi was just a spectator. But he did
manage to do one trick that he didn’t know before, so I didn’t feel
quite so bad. After that Sean and I went home and watched Homes on Homes
and snacked on chips…I feel like the theme for this blog should possibly
be weight gain, not weight loss since I have clearly fallen off the
beaten path.
I have let the stress of life take over and have not made any time for
me or my health. My parents are a big help right now because they are
going to be helping me with the busiest part of my business so that I
can try to take some time to focus on getting going again. I really
appreciate that they are helping me, because I just keep going deeper
and deeper - the wrong way!
On Wednesday I did my 3km run – in training for this half marathon
Nicole and I are doing in October. Sean and Levi came with me, and we
finished the whole thing without stopping, but I did go pretty slow.
When we were finishing up the last part of the run I was thinking about
how much I actually hate running. Really – I can’t stand it. I like
the idea of running, but anything long distance is not for me. I enjoy
100m sprints but that is about it. So I thought, why am I doing
something I hate so much? I texted Nicole and told her that I am not
going to do the half marathon and she understood. Now I just need to
find a new activity/sport that I could possibly compete in. Any ideas?
The past few days my hands have been really cracked and dry since when
Nicole left she took her Herbal Aloe Hand Cream with her, so this
morning on the way out the door I grabbed my tube of Herbal Aloe Hand
Cream to stash in my desk and put some on when I got to work. What a
difference it makes! It’s not greasy at all, and with one application
my hands stay soft all day. Everyone could smell it and asked for some,
which of course I shared since you only need a tiny amount (size of a
dime) to do both hands.

Ahh, speaking of hands. It’s time to admit something that I am REALLY
not proud of. I can not longer wear my wedding rings because they are
too small; with the weight that I have put on my fingers have also
gotten bigger so my small rings were blocking blood flow. It was a major
struggle to get them off, and saddened me very much - but maybe it will
motivate me to get my butt into gear (since I think it is really
important to wear my wedding rings + I love them). My husband just told
me that I should just get them made a size bigger, but clearly as a man
he doesn’t understand… that is just as crappy of a feeling as buying a
pair of pants in the next size up. When I got my engagement ring I was
heavy, and I had to get it sized smaller about 4 times. And when we
bought my wedding band, it fit right off the shelf (which made me so
happy because they keep them small and hope that you will nee
d it a bigger size). Anyways, now my fingers feel bare and I hope to change
that soon.
On the depressing topic of what doesn’t fit, I will also point out
that my winter coat is a struggle to do up every day and I have NO idea
how the zipper hasn’t ripped out of it by now! I bought it at the end
of the season last year and it fit great…but this year, not so much. Of
course I was too cheap and too proud to buy another winter coat this
year (thinking I was going to lose the weight and fit into it), so I
have been wearing my good one either not done up, or wearing my rain
jacket which has no insulation at all. Being cold is kind of a cruel
punishment to me since I don’t fit into my good coat.
This post is starting to become very depressing so I am going to finish
up with this note. Even though over the last year and a half I have been
going in the wrong direction on the scale I WILL NOT GIVE UP. I worked
far too hard to lose all that weight and there is no way I am going to
just give in and put it all back on. I will take this time my parents
are giving me, and focus completely on my health, and get myself back on
track and going the right direction. I know how to do it - I just need
to be able to put it into motion. So join me on my journey of getting
healthy! (Again!)
