Well, I'm having to get focused again after taking a break for a while now bc of personal and health issues. I know it's no excuse, but I wasn't strong enough to stay focused on eating well so I'm sure I put on some weight. I'll weigh myself tomorrow.
The fortunate thing is I haven't gone completely off the rails in terms of WHAT I eat, it's more how much of it I eat. Don't get me wrong, there were several days I made awful food choices both in what AND how much, but for the most part it was all fairly smart choices, just too much in a day.
Also my exercise slipped for a while but in the last week I've gone on 2 long walks and done yoga twice (very basic yoga - didn't realize it was so hard!! Lol).
For those of you that remember I had a couple of fainting episodes this summer and went to the doctor about it a little while back. My doc didn't want to take any chances and had me seen by several specialists and subjected to several tests ending with my second trip to the cardiologist Tues. I'm currently wearing a heart monitor (which is annoying).
I'm excited that the end is in sight... I've been poked and proded enough and I'm ready to just get the results from all of it and be done with it all. Fingers crossed.
Also, HUGE changes are starting to take place. My husband and I are moving clear across the province at separate times (My husband in a month, me 6 or so months after that). It's complicated. It means fixing up the house for sale (alone), and figuring out my medical care... it's going to be a very stressful year but hopefully, once it's done, things should probably, hopefully, settle into some semblance of a normal life. I'm really excited about the move, but dreading all the work leading up to it. Living in different cities isn't something my husband and I are unfamiliar with, he's American, I'm Canadian. The first several years of our relationship were the long distance juggle and several times in the last couple of years we've nearly moved to the US but changed our minds last minute - each time my husband moving down to the US for several months before coming back. I won't even try to explain the complexities that led to these decisions but I assure you the decisions were never whims or anything less then well thought out. Things change though and we've had to adapt. This move is definite. My husband leaves Nov 1st.
Sorry for the purge of info, I don't know why I feel the need to justify myself... but there you have it. I'm stressed but I'm really hoping to get focused and stay focused despite that stress.
