mars2kids's Journal, 21 November 2014

I'm finally admitting to my gain. I knew I had gained but hadn't weighed in, so now that I've crept back up to almost the weight I was when I started here, maybe I'll get my butt in gear and make the effort to go back down.

I think I've kind of figured out my issue this time of year, I thought it was the cold, but I think it's more that I just start feeling overwhelmed and then I shut down. It's like my brain gears only toward the stress and all I can think about is all of the projects, events, shopping, etc. that I need to get done and when I don't have any of those stressful things happening at the moment I just turn into a vegetable. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm trying to figure out how to push through this. Now that I've kind of figured this out, and feel like "duh, you know this is going to happen every year", I'm going to try to make myself some lists in hopes that then I can see I'm just stressing myself for nothing, because that's what I do. Maybe with some enlightenment will come less stress and I will see how much time I actually do have to work out.

I need to work on my eating too because with stress comes eating whatever crap is nearby. My hubby is on the same page as me and wanting to eat better, so at least that's helpful so he's not fighting me wanting to eat junk. Another list of some healthy food options needs made too.

Well, I guess I'm going to go make my lists now. :) Have a great weekend!

You're not alone in having a struggle this time of year. Just try and get back to what was working for you before, if your husband will join you it'll that much easier, it's nice to have a partner.

thanks so much its this time a year every year and I just want to push past it by not using that comfort mechanism to control me. Yeah I do have a partner at work to walk with and chime about calories and weight loss. Your right it is nice!

Thinking of you..thanks for putting this out here for us. I know I have struggled and hate to admit gains. However, it is just a page in the book. Move on to the next page. Keep your head up!

Welcome to my boat, stress shuts me down as well :) You've always got a lot on your plate (haha) and I know you have even more going on now. A list is a great place to start. Hell, I'm going to give it a go myself. We will power through this
