Hipaagrammy's Journal, 24 Feb 15

Happy Tuesday!

Today's journal post is my way of processing...a "thinking out loud".

I've made so many positive changes in my life...why am I having such difficulty with social anxiety? After 15 years of almost constant health issues, family crisis, caring for aging parents and moving/retiring, my life has settled down. The things I thought were causing me so much difficulty are no longer present, but my anxiety is at an all-time high. I'm struggling with even going to church on Sunday. What I find strange is I have no problem being in public (shopping, going to a movie, traveling) - as long as I don't have to relate to people in a personal/sharing type relationship. Tomorrow night GoodMan and I are going to a small group meeting as a part of our church. I'm doing my best not to freak out...And I know it is not reasonable.

On another subject...GoodMan and I are leaving next week on a trip to Orlando for 11 days. I was able to stay on track with my new lifestyle when we were on our last trip in December/January, but that was a more relaxed vacation with lots of time for hotel gym workouts and freedom in choosing restaurants. This time we will be at Disney World and Universal Studios the whole time. I'm sure I will get a lot of walking in for exercise, but I'm struggling with finding meal options. I've decided to make homemade protein bars and pack them along with nuts and possibly peanut butter so we can have some healthy snacks during the day. I will just try to make the best choices I can when we eat at the various restaurants.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday! Make the best choices for your new lifestyle!! :)

If nothing else ALWAYS ask about food options at any restaurant. They might have something that can be simply cooked without lots of fats if that is something you're avoiding. Split meals or at least parts of them. We went to a Grill restaurant Sunday night and everything on the menu was either fried or heavily sauced. They did have a lunch option that wasn't on the dinner menu and could be prepared without lots of fats. It was the most amazing salmon with a few veggies and white rice. I did notice the rice seemed to show up on the scale the next day but it was delicious! So really just ask because you certainly won't be the only one who does. Have fun!
