So what's on my agenda for today? Working at three, that's about it now that we're half way through the day. Which reminds me, you know how they say you burn more calories in the day if you work out in the morning? Well that's true. My body media tracker shows a much higher total calorie burn when I do my runs early in the day, as opposed to Friday when I went in the afternoon. It was only about a four hundred calorie difference and I wouldn't let that be an excuse to not work out "oh, it's too late now" lol, but I thought I would share.
All things food have been perfectly on point. Very proud of myself as the urge to emotionally eat is almost non existent for me. I do still struggle with wanting to boredom eat, but I don't cave so it should go away eventually, right? Trying to stay mindful of when I'm physically hungry instead of just bored. Increasing my intake to around 1500-1600 calories a day this week, and we will see how it pans out at my weigh in Friday.
I hope everyone is have a good start to their work week :-) Have a great day!

You're doing great avoiding emotional eating, especially with all the crap going on. I'm glad you're putting yourself first! Sorry your family is a mess, but most of ours are. I was so happy when all my family drama dried up. I had to go to Coda and Al-Anon to make it happen, but it finally did. Best of luck and keep up the great work.

Jeez. Yolanda. Wish we could get together and chat. Completely resonate with the whole family issue. My mom is the single most toxic woman I have ever known, and has turned the entire family against me. Trying to deal with her for the last few years has resulted in my own mental health being jeapordised, yet no one seems to see it from my side. I hope you're alright, seems like you are holding out. Stay strong.

This is the perfect place to purge. Someone will almost always be able to relate. You arent alone.

First off, you do have us. You're never alone. Next, you are more fragile (mentally)then you think, so now is the time to get those things resolved or they will take their toll on you. Been there done that and still living it. Got an MP3 player or cd player? Guided meditation. It has helped me through so much over the years. Pinterest it. Or Mrsm's thought. Alanon. It will teach you how to cope with our brother's addiction and to let go and let God.

Go you! Take that frustration and anxiety straight to the treadmill and sweat it out of your system. Other people's toxicity has no business weighing on your shoulders. Try to be the calm in the middle of the storm - I know you can do it.

You have to make yourself happy first before you can make anyone else happy. I haven't seen my mother in years and have no plans to anytime in the future.

First of all, I love your hair!! You look amazing!! Sometimes exercise is the best medicine. When I'm stressed and do a workout I work so much harder and at the end the stress is pretty much gone. Your mom and brother have not made life easy, but thank goodness you've chosen a different path and outlook for your life. You have taken control of your life and it's hard to watch others who don't have control, especially family, but it's up to them to take the reigns like you did, you can't do it for them. At least you can know that you are a positive influence on them. Sending you hugs!! Hopefully the rest of the week goes better. :)

By all means, dump it here "Anonymityville." It's one place, besides the kitchen and the sofa, that you can vent and then move forward. We're glad you've taken the positive step to leave it here rather than surrounding your heart or hips! xoxoxoxo

Take care of yourself first, sweetie. One day at a time. You have NO control over anyone but yourself.

I agree with LuC2 - get it off your chest with people who won't hold it against you and smile again and look after yourself. I so wish I could properly exercise in the morning but to minimise the time our dog is left alone during the day I'm the one late out of the door. Not a complaint but I suspect I'd do better going to the pool before my day than I'm managing afterward.
Keep smiling and stick with your obviously successful programme :-) xxx

Where else would you dump besides your own journal? People who matter won't mind and those who mind don't matter! Interesting about the morning vs afternoon burn - thank you for sharing that as well. Most of all - good on YOU for taking care of you in this sea of soul suckers ((well, that's how it reads)) swirling about you. It's so easy to go the other way, and you aren't. Inspiration: that's you!
