This morning when I woke up, I was in a bit of a funk. I was worrying that my weigh in this Sunday might prove disappointing as last week's did (no loss). I was hurting more than usual, with my leg throbbing (related to spinal issues). I was trying not to be discouraged over the increased pain as I attempt to become more active. I have been through this cycle before. I do listen to my body to some degree and don't do anything too extreme, but I know from past experience that I still need to get out there and at least try to walk. If I just take to my bed, I end up sore in other parts of my body as well as becoming depressed over my weight loss journey.
I headed off to work, worried about the errands that I needed to run after work. I have come to dread the trip to my company's headquarters every two weeks. It is such a long drive from my client's home to the office. They don't allow us to fax or mail our paperwork due to confidentiality issues. Arrggg!!
I had to be home in time to neaten the house for a showing and then one of my silly dogs hurt his paw outside and was bleeding. I really didn't need that! I got the wound under control, finished my cleaning and then took off to the park with the dogs. Surprisingly, the boo-boo didn't seem to be bothering my dog, so we took off for a nice hike along the creek (which is running swiftly with snow melt and heavy rains that followed the snow storm). It was so peaceful and the temperature was mild. I felt SOOO much better about things after our walk.
So, tonight I'm feeling much better about things. I made two appts. that I am looking forward to (eye doctor for new glasses-4 years overdue, and a massage that my daughter gave me as a birthday gift). Although my husband and I don't have any specific plans for Valentine's Day, I am still looking forward to being at home at the same time tomorrow afternoon/evening. He works such variable hours that I don't take that for granted any more.
Off to watch some of the Olympics.
