Today WILL be a better day. I am in a high stress work environment as well and my mantra lately has been "Focus on what you can control and leave the rest." It's tough to do, but saying it to myself a few times (or however many times I need it until…

I live north of the Twin Cities so appreciate the info on the clothes. I will have to try them. And good idea about the contacts as I have been fogging up my glasses, too. Just have to get energy to put them in before I go out at 6:30 AM.

Yesterday I ate my feelings and now feel like a pig. When I got to work, before I even got to my desk, I was told that my counterpart denied I had given her information about one of her accounts when she was off last Friday. Due to that, there were…

I know it's been a long time since I was blogging but I need to get stuff off my chest that has been dragging me down, causing me to hold steady on my weight and not lose. We finally got our house resided and shingled after the hail storm. It took 5…

Oddly enough I've finally managed to gain most control over stress eating... my new found terror is "boredom". I've been eating nonstop because I can't work out at the gym, have been stuck inside due to weather, and just cannot get myself out of a r…

I get in the tub and soak with music (that I like) playing loudly so I don't hear outside noise. Stay there and relax in my own little world.

I am having a moment alone right now. The baby is sleeping the other kids are at my moms and the hubby is asleep. This is as good as it gets. I hope you get your alone time soon.

Ate my feelings

Yesterday I ate my feelings and now feel like a pig. When I got to work, before I even got to my desk, I was told that my counterpart denied I had given her information about one of her accounts when she was off last Friday. Due to that, there were problems with the account this week. What a crappy way to start the day. I then had to defend myself with the information that I had given her the information on top of all the papers on her desk last Friday and I had to forward the email I sent to my… Continue

Working on losing and not gaining over the holidays

I know it's been a long time since I was blogging but I need to get stuff off my chest that has been dragging me down, causing me to hold steady on my weight and not lose. We finally got our house resided and shingled after the hail storm. It took 5 1/2 weeks and it came in higher than the estimate. That's what we get for hiring a friend who took advantage of us. When I tried to get my husband to address issues of taking so long, costing so much, destroying my flower beds, etc he didn't want to… Continue

Stress Eating

I am still stress eating. Part of it is if our refinance on the house goes thru so we can cash out for the remodel, part of it is having my preteen son home all summer and starting to get on my nerves and part is my husband doesn't get the saving money thing so he went and bought a new riding mower for $1600. Some days it takes all I have to get out of bed and keep going. Now the loan officer left a message late Friday with a question to call him on. I faxed him everything he needs so what else… Continue

Not Really Motivated Right Now

After the pigout on Monday from stress I gained two pounds back. Because I feel piggy I feel sluggish and can't get it together to be really motivated. The hubby and I have been fighting about who to hire for the remodel so it ratchets up the stress. I have been staying on track for eating but having a hard time getting any exercise in. I'm just not motivated. Yes, I want to lose weight and get in smaller clothes but some days all I want is to eat everything in the vending machines at work. Choc… Continue

Stress - It's a Really Bad Thing

It's hard to believe but I ate all of my weekly points yesterday on the first day of the week. Chocolate, cheese, brownies, candy and a beer. Ouch! It was a really stressful day yesterday because we had two people come over estimates for roofing and siding on the house. One was someone recommended to me and one was my husband's friend. Of course, my husband wants us to use his friend. My guy came in $5000 lower than his friend and when we told him the price he came in at, his friend couldn't und… Continue

Oh, I know that he will lose weight faster than I. He's a big guy and I've been at it a while so it's harder for me. LOL.

I've been meaning to ask - what area of MN are you in? I'm in SE ND.

Small Town Mom, thank you so much for your advice on the burn. We were really good about keeping an ice pack tied to his hand for the first 12 hours, so it didn't blister as badly as expected. In fact, the only blister he has is about the size of a penny on his palm right at the intersection of his ring and pinky fingers. My friend is a pediatrician, though. I will call her and see what she thinks. Thanks again!
