I love the soup Nazi. He shows no mercy!!

Well, I hang my head in shame. I have not worked out todau nor do I intend to. I have had a migraine headache for about 3 days now and it isn't getting any better. No excuse but I just don't have it in me. I haven't been 100 Op either. Not to bad but not perfect either.

Well, I didn't work out either today. Awful I know.

Good news is that Gilbert got a job offer today and he accepted. Starts tomorrow too! So we went to look for some new shirts for his job and that's one of the reasons I didn't work out. I didn't want to blow him off.

But, in all honesty, I'm not sure that's the only reason. Maybe part of me just didn't want to go and was glad that going with him was a good enough excuse not to go workout.

Sleepy lately. I think this is a reason for my slow moving attitude.

You would think that with all the exercise I have done all this time that I can still feel unenergetic and tired. Does anyone else ever feel like that? Is it just me getting older? I'm being serious here.

I think that is great the El gilberto got a job!! YAY!
I hear ya though. I have been tired alot too. Just gets us down sometimes but it will pass and we will feel energetic again. We deserve a break now and then! We hit goal!
Seriously though, I think we just need to get our heads back on straight. We will. I will and I know you will! We can and will do this!

Hey WW--That is fantastic that Gilbert has a new job and is starting so quickly! That will alleviate some stress for your family as well as allow you to get back on a routine. As for being unenergetic, I think all of us go through periods like that. I know I do. Usually it's because mental/emotional stress builds up to a point and it begins affecting me in a physical way. Just think of all you have been through in the past few months with your Mother's passing, Gilbert losing his job, getting out of your routine, trying to figure out what to do after meeting your goal weight, etc. All of that affects you...and sometimes you just have to give yourself time to relax and regroup a little bit. And remember, you are maintaining now so you shouldn't feel bad if you miss a few days of exercising. (Although, you know that working out--even when you don't feel like it--generally makes you feel better in the end). Hope you get your mojo back soon, but don't beat yourself up if you don't. You've been putting a lot of energy into supporting your husband during the past few weeks. Anyway, you might try some guided meditation or something like that to help you get your focus! Take care of yourself and take some time for YOU! Love ya, lady!

Thanks for the support Tasha and Molly. It's really great to have that back up to listen to me.

Molly, you said some things that got me thinking. I didn't really think I was going through real stress but in reality I was. Just recently I started to feel that tightness in my chest from stress. I started thinking about the future months coming up and if Gilbert would have a job by then and would we be able to make it and then that tightness feeling would show up. And you are right about the stresses of my mother passing and then we have been fixing up the house lately so things are out of wack around here. Then there's the in-laws...... So, yes, I guess maybe all of that is making me tired.

But it's funny. I had this image in my head before I lost the weight that I would get thin and be like a young energetic 20 year old again. I pictured myself playing frisbee, running and jumping and always on the go. Ha ha! What a joke! The only place I want to "go" to is to go take a nap! I'm 37, tired but thinner and that's a good thing too. But, I know it would have been worse for me had all of this been going on and I was 207 again. I would have eaten some serious junk food if I was my old self and depressed about money, family and my weight. So, I had one thing off my list of worries and that's good. My weight is under control.

Thanks Molly and Tasha. Love you both big time! You don't judge me. You support me. I'm very grateful.

Molly, you made some really good points for WonderWoman.
WonderWoman, I am sure that there is some tension relieved now that Gilbert has found a new job. Maybe now things will kind of get back to normal for you and you will start to feel better.
We love ya right back and are always here for you! Here's to new beginnings!!

(Yes, it is "Diet" friendly)

I got in 30 mins of cardio and 20 mins of strenght training today. Just the minimum for me today.
