What I did since the last writing to move my life forward:
- Worked out at gym for 30 minutes
- Was able to help my husband with something and even when he started getting stressed and yelled a few times, I kept my cool (a HUGE win for me!)
- Available to family
- Ate real foods
- Went with the flow today even though lots of things shifted
Morning weight: 149.2 lbs
Keeping Track of My Weight
This is not an advertising for this company. I’m sure there are others. But I really love using my Renpho scale and app to track my weight.
It’s difficult to remember what I weighed when. I like that each morning I weigh in. My weight has creeped up over the years without me even knowing it.
In past years, I could eat more real foods and drop weight. Or I could stop eating at night. But even now when I do these things, it’s difficult to see progress.
I was always a walker but haven’t done strength training for years. This despite being a certified fitness trainer in the past… !
So now I’m going to the gym as part of my new goals. I’m trying for 3x per week. I got back from my trip this past Tuesday and only went 2x this week. Next week I will hit 3x. I’m trying to do it when I’m already out so I don’t waste additional time and gas driving there.
I try to combine errands whenever possible to save on my time! There is never enough time!
Day 3
I was trying to be very supportive to my husband today and made breakfast. He is applying for jobs so I’m very excited about a new future for our family. One in which I’m much less or not at all resentful.
I hope he gets the job! I cannot explain how much of a difference this will make for our family. Financially… for sure! But also letting him have a purpose outside of tracking what me and the kids are doing. He is over-involved in things and doesn’t always have energy to get stuff done. But with a job and purpose, I know he will!
Feeling Nervous About Tomorrow
My husband and I go to as many of our kids’ activities as possible. Tomorrow there are four things. He usually drives. Sometimes he is a very aggressive driver.
Not only is it very stressful for me, sometimes it causes yelling because I’m telling him to slow down, etc. The last time we were with one of our kids in the car we had an issue like this so I’m hoping tomorrow he lets me drive or he is calmer, less aggressive, more predictable with regards to other drivers.
Stay tuned…
