Classic Avoidance

I haven't posted because I've been ashamed. I've been bad. And my clothes are showing it.

Since I can't afford to go back to Dan at the moment, I'm going to start working out on my own. Well, Dan has been kind enough to offer some long-distance coaching till I can come back in.

Still trying to get settled into the job and home routine. It's been a very tough month. Yeah, not a great excuse. I've spent the past month changing my schedule, doing massive home projects, over-eating, stressing out and rewarding myself with food and chocolate, coping with awful sickness (in myself and in my kids and husband), a migraine or two, and some really uncomfortable back pain and sleep issues.

And I have an extra 20 pounds to show for it. Not positive that's how much I've gained, but it's about that. I can feel it in my clothes and it sucks big time.

Time to be accountable again. I'm off to the gym tomorrow and back on the healthy eating plan. Dang it.

Apparently I need something other than food to cope with stress. I think I need a girls' night.
