Well, I guess all the stressfull emotional eating has caught up with me. 2 pound gain today. :-(
I'm sure it has something to do with all the wating around and not enough physical activity the past few days too.
Sunday my family and I went out to celebrate my Gram's 86th birthday and have one really good meal before my Dad's surgery on Monday the 26th.
Monday my Mom, Dad, and myself got up at 3:00 am to get ready for the hospital. His surgery was scheduled for 7:00 am so of course we had to be at the hospital by 5:00 am. ??????? The Doctor replaced his mirtal valve and it took about 41/2 hours. My Mom and I didn't leave the hospital until 6:30 pm. I got back to my house around 8:30 that night. Much too late to eat, but I did anyway. And nothing to be proud of.
Tuesday we had some yucky weather come in, and my husband couldn't even get to work, so I took advantage of him (and not in the good way) let him watch Abby and I stayed in bed for a while. Even when I was out of bed, I kept my pj's on until 4:30pm. I felt bad because I couldn't be with my Dad, or take my Mom to see him.
Today, the weather is just turning back to yuck around 2:00 pm and I hoping I will be able to get to go and see my Dad today. Right now, it's not looking so good for me. The doctors decided to keep him in the CCU for another day. They can't get his oxygen levels up to where they need to be, and his heart regulated. His pulse is too low at the moment. That worries me. I don't want him to think I don't want to be there or anything. So, this is depressing me, and all I can think of eating are blueberry pancakes I made for Abby's lunch.
Tomorrow, I am definately going to see my Dad in the morning. Abby is going to her friend's house to play. Thank Goodness for great friends. I have to get back in time to clean the house. Because with Friday and Saturday coming, there will be no other time.
Friday is my Father-in-law's 70th birthday, and I opened my big mouth and suggested a surprise birthday party. Well that's at 7:00 pm. We have all the food here at my house, so I have to get it to my sister-in-law's church by 1:00 pm on Friday. CRAZY....
Saturday is my sweet baby Abby's 3rd Birthday, and family party. YIKES. I feel bad, because my Dad won't be there. I told my Mom I was going to postpone it, and she told me no. So I won't get to see my Dad this day either.
That leaves Sunday morning and afternoon. But, I have to find a babysitter on a Sunday. And not just any Sunday--superBowl Sunday.
When can I exercise? Count points? Cook healthy for my husband and Abby? Make everyone else happy? Be a gracious host at both parties? Cry? Not this week. Food sucks right now. But I still eat it. Damn emotional eating.
Sorry for being a downer today. I just have to find a way out of this funk. Thought this might help.
Hope you all are being safe out there in the winter storm, if it is affecting you.
GO STEELERS!
Your Pal,
Julie ;-)
