I'm not going to lie, the last month or so has been tough. First the layoff which was a huge adjustment. Additionally, it's been horrific weather wise in NJ - lots of snow, almost constant snow and ice. With the start of classes on top of that, I've been all out of sorts.
Weight wise, I've pretty much stayed constant - I can definitely maintain in the 230 range but until today it's been ages (at least a month and a half since I exercised.) I prefer to be outside if at all possible and most of the last month, that simply hasn't been possible. Today was warm enough (mid 40s) and actually sunny (and not snowing) so I had a really good walk and feel tons better now. In fact, I feel the best I've felt in a month and a half - coincidence, probably not.
I'm going to try logging again but I'm not stressing too much over the log, the main thing I'm going to aim for is some type of actual exercise every day (outside if possible) to get out of this blah mood and try to regain some kind of calm in my life.
School is going well so far, although I wish I was taking class more than two days a week (I'm taking two classes on Thursdays) but I really like having somewhere to actually GO since it keeps me from being a shut in (particularly when the weather is crappy.) I've had some job interviews already but am still waiting to hear and doing some more searching. I haven't had a perm job since 2009 and it's really kind of a sore subject at the moment as I'm really getting sick of looking.
Tonight is one of my class nights, so I'll be heading towards school in a bit (and swinging by Chipotle for a burrito bowl for dinner because while this class is required, it's exceedingly dull and getting to treat myself to something yummy and still nutritious makes me more eager to actually ATTEND.)
Thank you buddies for your concerns about how I was MIA over the last month. You're all so wonderful and I'm really blessed to have people like you check in. I'll try to get caught up with your journals/progress over the next day or so.
Affirmations for today:
1) Maintaining, particularly when I'm not trying to do anything, is a really great accomplishment I should be proud of.
2) It's not how many times you fall, but how many you get back up.
3) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life.
