Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 28 August 2023

I might have been a little too enthusiastic with starting this journey with everything else that is going on in my life. I got rid of #1 over the weekend. Granted it's only temporarily as she goes back to college and she's only an hour away but it's one less human I have to keep alive during the week. She's already ignoring my texts so she should be good to go until a holiday comes.

The boys start school next week because we seem to be on a different schedule than the rest of the U.S. This week is full of soccer practices and orientations. Oh and interviews because the universe decided this should be the time that I add another person to my team at work. I will not stress eat. I will not stress eat. I already did that last week. Plus I got so busy I forgot to journal. I may have to hit the reset button.. again. I'm going to see what the weigh in damage looks like on Wednesday. Right now It's not so great.. If I'm going to lose weight then I'm going from my highest number on my latest day. I should probably just ride the roller coaster but who wants to do that?

Today I will stay on track and get healthy because..
- The boyfriend keeps beating my calorie burn at the gym. I ALMOST got him today and he beat me by 5 measly calories. I will beat his number some day. I may not be able to move tomorrow because I was trying to beat his calorie burn today. He didn't even look like he was trying. It's fine.. I'm not competitive in the least. Nope not me.

- Thigh saddles. I think I'm developing thigh saddles. At least that is what I'm calling them. I've always had a thigh dent. Now my thighs are getting wider above the dent. My weight might be staying consistent but my body is getting more comfortable with it. I'm becoming the dent in the couch. I don't want to be the dent in the couch. I want to be the new couch that no one can get comfy on because it's so hard. Don't be a couch dent.

- Because I found an Instagram account that told me to go 90 days and dedicate those 90 days to me. Take a break from every other thing in life and concentrate on me. It also gave me a list of things like meditate, get 7k steps a day, eat real food, focus on the good things that you will feed yourself vs what you wont let yourself have.. It seemed smart. I'm going to try it. Its not anything new. I'd not anything special. I just read the right thing at the right time. Consider today Day 1 of the random Instagram challenge I found.

I can relate to 'stress eating', It is a constant battle. I also am trying to 're-think' my motives, habits, temptations and doing what we all know we should do, as you said it is not anything new, just have to read it over and over and be in the right frame of mind and act on it. Yup, sounds easy but in my case it is not really that easy, lol. But I'm taking one day, sometimes one moment at a time. Also I've changed my attitude a little and when I have a good day, I celebrate it in a positive way and tell myself to now 'build on that good day & keep on keeping on :-)". This next weekend is going to be my BIG hurdle, with all the kids here and a birthday celebration, eeekkkk! I've been on this woe for over a week and that is really good for me. I have to keep on keeping on. Take care!
