Back Into The Miasma
Okay…WOW! I am STILL struggling with not slipping back into the miasma that was my former existence! Who knew it would be so hard!
I have all these lists and reasons of why I’m doing it…but I’m at the point where it’s a real battle to keep going. Fear not, I WILL keep going. But MAN is it hard!! Any of you reach this place?? Any kicker tips on getting out? Anyone want to come kick me in the pants?? LOL!
Lately it’s been one thing after another…and for some reason I’m drag-my-arse-out-and-beat it tired. Could be because I’m only getting 5 hrs a sleep a night (if I’m lucky)…but that’s just my job. That’s not gonna change. First was the untimely appearance of TOM and a cold, then it was depression because my daughter didn’t get into the school I wanted for her, then it was freaking out because she DID get in, and I have all this crap to do in two weeks or she won’t be accepted! UGH! Too much to do, not enough me to do it! It’s leading to little slips. A day with less exercise here, a piece of pizza to much there…and it’s starting to gain speed! MUST HALT!
Maybe I need more coffee!! Refill me please?
So I’m trying to refill my proud-excited-can’t wait to do this crap-I’m gonna kick some butt here and lose some weight- cup up. But it’s coming back in a trickle. Is there a hole in my cup somewhere?!? Yeesh! What is my problem?? All I want to do is go have a nap. But I have to go on the treadmill. Ugh!
Okay, so I’m doing some re-affirmations now:
This is my life now. This is not an option. This is the way things are. Do it. You are Nike. Just do it.
There is no reason -not- to exercise. There is no reason to eat bad foods.
I need exercise. I do not need bad food.
I CAN and WILL do this.
After another cup of coffee.
Okay okay. Before the coffee!! Here we go. Back on track. I am TRAIN, hear me…toot?
Just sending you some encouragement!!!! Your doing great!
You can do it. I know you can. I know it is hard. You will succeed.
HELLO CHIA,
Am right now hopping onto my stationary bike and coming up to kick your caboose if you don’t get it back on track right now. Now, doesn’t that just scare the beejees out of you!?
By the way after all these weeks, I just figured out who TOM is and now I remember him and I tell you I do not miss him at all. Glad he is seeing someone else.

*lol* Know what she means, my first thought was who is this cad TOM? He sure seems to get around , and why do so many women give him the time of day when he obviously brings so much misery! Then I twigged to what it meant. It was never an expression I ever heard around here. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had to think about it !!
Chai, yes you need exercise but you need to decide right now that you are a priority , and need some care. Some quiet rest , some yoga , a few minutes of quiet meditation can go a long way.You are doing great, just breathe…..ommmmm and try to get some sleep….you are making me tired! Hugs!
Oh Chai, I’m right there with you. I’ll come kick you in the pants if you return the favor for me! We have to keep on going the rewards will be sweeter than any candy!

Honey, lack of sleep is so hard on us! It can change my attitude in a heartbeat. Everything becomes so dismal and grey and HOPELESS. Try to get a nap or more sleep in some way. hang in there. take care. Hugs, Marge
Right now your running like a chicken with it’s head cut off… I would suggest to slack back on the exercise and focus on what your tacking in food-wise. Pick things that will fuel your body through this fight. Don’t waist calories on things that will give you false energy (sugar highs, carb highs). Proteins, fiber to fill you up, fruits and veggies… use that strength to tackle the many chores you have to accomplish. SLEEP. Without sleep you won’t loose weight. I have learned this myself. You simply can not do it to your body. You will end up with circles under your eyes and a negative attitude about your lifestyle change! If could grab an extra hour of sleep, skip the treadmill this time. You can make up for it when things settle down a bit. Your daughter will get enrolled and settled in her school, and while you’ll still have work…things will level out to where you can start picking up the exercise again. Now- if you have the time, do it… but don’t exhaust yourself trying to be Super Woman. Keep a good frame of mind… and hang in there! We’re here rootin for ya!
