Well I have been off here for a few days dealing with the snags that life handed me. The last few days I have still stayed under net carbs and followed my way of eating even though there have been many challenges. For this I am proud of myself, however I do need to start tracking again to keep myself in check. I deserve the work that I am doing for myself and although there have been a few days that I barely felt strong enough to get out of bed I was able to force myself to move and get some real exercise in. Today I am going to push myself a little harder and try to get past this wall I seem to be hitting with my bike. I cant seem to stay on it long enough to go from the house to my daughters school and back. TOday is the day I will do this even if I have to stop and take a break, instead of just getting off and walking it I will ride it home.

I have been following my diet well and cut out bars for many days now and now I am back to losing wieght. Doing water aerobics and massive amounts of core exercises is helping I am sure. I hope everyone else is doing well and having a great weekend.

So this has been an incredibly stressful day! A little background is we are military stationed overseas, our daughter has a lesion in the bone in her arm. No prior injury and it was discovered because of another issue that required chest xrays. Anyway it is not looking like a "regular" benign lesion/cyst and so we had to get another MRI today. Well my Italian is decent for understanding not so great at speaking so I can pick up what the doc and tech is saying. They made me leave the room and called in more docs so I of course totally panicked. Because they were not approved to treat her by tricare as of right now I couldnt get any answers and was told the base docs will get with me this week. I hate that part of being overseas and well to be honest hospitals in general. Obviously they are worried the way they were acting and instead of the two to three weeks we were told the last time the are saying this week. Well to top it off my best friend and I have been unable to see each other for awhile and she was unable again for the fifth time in a row today. My daughter was totally disappointed and crying and honestly I really could have used a friend today. So I blew up on her and now she is upset with me.
So to cheer up my kid we went to get some floaties for the pool and she wanted burger king (we never eat fast food tooooo expensive overseas) and I said sure. I didnt cheat although the temptation was great to say the least, I had a side salad and chicken breast. We came home and got in the pool so I even got in a good swim and play time with her..

I honestly am just so stressed out right now and I dont even feel like my friend and I will be hanging out much anymore if at all. Thats a hard part because with only a few months left here I wont go investing in new friendships knowing I am leaving. My husband is great and listens but I am sure everyone understands having a friend that isnt your spouse, particularly when your spouse may have to leave for months at a time.

Anyway just venting and trying to keep my eye on the future and take care of me and my family. I hope that everyone else has a much better day than I am having.

I have been doing so serious soul searching and learning who I am. This food issue I have been carrying around will not interfere in my life anymore! I do not need to eat because I am stressed, sad, angry, put out, alone, or even happy. I need to eat to survive that is all. I will eat when I am hungry and not because of any other reason. Chocolate isnt a cure, sugar does not love me, and potatoes do not make everything better!

I am having a bit of a hard time personally and I know I have been turning to the atkins bars for comfort occasionally. This is not going to make me achieve my goal it is stopping me. I will use them as they were meant to be used as an OCCASIONAL substitute when there is no other healthy choice readily available. They are not going to make a regular appearance in my diet because I am being lazy or seeking pleasure from my food.

I will accomplish my goals with hard work determination and perserverance. I am going to find a reward that can become progressively larger the more weight I lose, just havent came up with the right one yet. I will find a way to be the me I used to be!

I need to keep track of my feelings and goals so I can be accountable for them and not pretend things are not happening. I need to put myself first in this and not worry so much about how others percieve me or even if they like me. This journey has to be about me and my life. Only then can I be strong for those that matter to me.

I am thankful for all the new friends here in my life, those that give me great feedback and constuctive criticism, those that applaud my success and those that help me keep my eye on the prize. You are all an inspiration and I will use this tool to the best of my ability. Hoping that everyone has a great day that you all stay positive and that you stay on your track to your goals!
