So, I was feeling pretty good about things last night, having stuck to a plan for getting through Superbowl. I didn't deviate at all, which I was very proud of.
Unfortunately, I slept terribly and woke up with a poor attitude. I still made a healthy lunch, ate a healthy breakfast, and documented everything I ate and planned to eat. I just felt a bit depressed and wasn't sure why.
Part of it is that my daughter is struggling to balance having two children and she uses me as a shoulder to lean on. I was either at her house or she was at my house 5 days last week, ranging from a 2-hour visit to more like 5.
I end up in a lot more pain when I have weeks like that, and having everyone over for a Superbowl party makes that even worse. Thankfully, I had 2-3 hours to myself after everyone left, but then I didn't sleep well, so I felt terrible this a.m.
The sun shone for an hour this morning and I attended church services with my client (at her care home). Singing with everyone helped dispel the gloom somewhat.
After I got home from work I chatted with my daughter about our plans for this evening. It made me feel very supported that she was planning a meal that she felt I would be OK with. She even gave me all the info ahead of time so I could research and document my choices now. That definitely made me feel more in control. Since my husband plans to start back to the gym and keeping a food diary, I know he will also be very supportive. What more can you ask for?
So, I guess, all in all, not doing to badly for only 4 days in :-)
