Do to stress and weakness, I have gained all the weight back that I lost in 6 weeks amount of time. A combination of diet, exercise and biology is to blame. I have been eating way too much sugar. Note to self: Don't take Wes to Sam's club when he is starving , because you walk out with all kinds of crappy foods (yummy, with no nutritional value.) He is not all to blame though. He didn't have to force feed me. I also think that with all the stress of the last month it has been really hard for me to muster up the strength to do rigorous excise. I am not the type of person who can get away with a leisurely walk and count it as exercise. I have to sweat and get my heart rate up for at least 40 min. Props to me last night, I had a great treadmill workout and strength workout while i watched American Idol. It was refreshing. And I have to thank Wes for his patience because my jogging was not quiet, and he refrained from complaining. The biology part of this is a peculiar thing. When I am stressed out I retain massive amounts of water...that is how my body reacts to stress. Some people lose hair, get zits, lose weight, I bloat. It's a huge menace to me.
Regardless of how I feel.....I have a goal to meet by next March, and I plan on meeting it. So I am standing up and dusting off. I will not let myself lose this, I want it too bad. I am recommitting to WW and also exercise. I love my new bike, but it is for leisure not exercise. I also have been doing some night mediation and hypnotism Cd's (ipod) I think they are helping. I have said it before and strongly believe in mind over matter! Enough said.
So I am seriously thinking about getting certified to do foot zoning. I am a firm believer in energy healing especially the reflexology/foot zoning modality. I have a great friend that practices reflexology among other things. She worked on me once or twice a week while I was in Iowa. My Pregnancies have always been so hard, but this last one was made easier because of the work she did. I have been lost without her. I have some leads on some people that can treat me, but, I think I want to learn it so I can treat my family. As everyone and their dogs know the tornado anniversary is quickly approaching. Although I feel we have all coped very well with the trauma, we are all manifesting issues from the post traumatic stress. Things are just barely starting to surface. I truly believe that there is healing that can be done through zoning. It will be an adventure I think. I am excited, I love to help people so hopefully i can find a good teacher.
This weekend Wes, myself, Hayden and Gracie are all going to be speaking in church. I thought we were done speaking about the tornado, but it looks like it will be one last time. It is challenging because it is the 1 yr anniversary this weekend. It will be emotional. It is very hard to open up about, hopefully those who have already had to hear it will be patient and not upset that they have to hear it all again. Pray for us.
That's about all for now, tonight is Bunco, YAY! Hope all is well in your world ~E

In my next life I'm going to be someone who loses weight when they get stressed, until then, I'm a chocoholic for sure. Good luck with your goal--you can make it.
