Good Morning! First day back at work yesterday which ended up being a long one! I think I have my week all scheduled out now though, busy and lots to catch up on. Fortunately my computer is back and working. It stopped connecting to the network my last day before vacation.

I did well yesterday. It's difficult learning to pay attention (proper attention) to my body again. I have been in the habit of overeating as attested by my weight chart and now am working on being thoughtful and mindful without setting myself up for failure. I find myself trying to figure out what I should be doing. What to eat? So many different ways to approach it I get confused. Definitely staying away from sugar.

DH goes back to work today. He looks miserable. I think he has lost almost 10 lbs in a week. I feel both helpless and forgive me but irritated too. It is exhausting being around a loved one that feels awful. I know it does no good to worry. Really trying to take a moment at a time. Work is a nice distraction actually.

Found out our admin's mom is in hospice and not expected to live long. She's been battling cancer too. I hate cancer.

Well I have a lot to do before I can take off for work. Juice to make for DH. Chicken salad to make for him. Dishes to do (maybe mom will do them?!) and then getting myself together. Blues bandage to change. Sigh.

Yet I know life is good. Another day. Another opportunity to shine.
252.8 lb Lost so far: 6.4 lb.    Still to go: 67.8 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
losing 22.4 lb a week

I understand how taking care of someone can be so tiring. Sometimes you just don't know what to do. Good that he is going back to work. I hope he has a good day. Hope Blue is on the mend too. You sound just too busy doing for everyone else. I think you need a Carol day and I think you should schedule it soon. Off for our run. Late start this morning. I will journal later. Hugs!

Not easy, but sounds like you have a handle on things. Have a great day. J
