I did lose 7 pounds on LDL, but have found myself sliding in the wrong direction since my last trip to Florida. I came home on Wednesday, exhausted, my oldest daughter had a graduation party at my house for her son, and I ate some things I should not have.
While in Florida, I walked the beach for an hour every morning when I got up, that was so relaxing and peaceful, but the rest of the days were hectic and stressful, I really tried hard for the first few days but as days passed, I became more exhausted and stressed, I found myself not worrying about what or when I was eating and just ate whatever.
I am really down right now, feeling another failure of not being able to stick to something that makes me feel so much better. What can I do, any suggestions?
I am up now because I can't sleep and I am trying to figure out a menu for the week. Sometimes I just feel there is so much drama in my life, I don't have time to sit and worry about me.
I have my hubby, five daughters and eighteen grandchildren, yes, I said eighteen. There are personal things going on with some of the daughters, and the grandchildren and my husband and I are always helping out in some form or another, like we should and want to, but we seem to always put ourselves on the back burner because of something that is going on.
I don't want you to think I am a "whiner" because I'm not, I just really want to do this for me, so I feel better physically and mentally about myself.
Going to continue on now, looking thru the menus and the journals to get some ideas for the week and get started again in the morning.
I keep praying to God to put me in the right direction. Thanks for listening, and God Bless.
