Week 2

The diet has gone well this week...except for yesterday when I totally freaked and stress ate everything in the house. Not exactly sure what set me off but I wish I would learn how to cope with that part of me. However, every other day I have managed to stay with the plan and lost a few pounds.

I am still struggling with the exercise part of this new me. I really enjoyed it when I was running but for some reason I cannot make myself start again. It would be nice now with the cool crisp evenings. Maybe I will try that once this week and see how it feels.

Work is getting crazy, and I know I need to have an outlet for the stress. I am trying to figure out how to balance work, home, family and me. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I love my family and I love my husband very much.

Hopefully this week will be better.

September..my favorite

So..here we are. In september, fall, my favorite time of the year. I love the smells, the activities, and the colors. Sad that summer is over but happy that this season is here.

The empty nest is going well. Some minor decorating changes has made the house feel more family friendly and I love walking from room to room smiling at the changes. Tomorrow is the first family gathering since the changes so we will see how it all works out. Unfortunately we will be without David and Dakota, Alex and Sean.

The new normal didnt work out so well for Jeff and I. Some minor set backs in healing has required the continued bedrest for now. However, with the decorating changes, it is easy for me to sit comfortably at his bedside and blog or browse.

I am starting the fall life plan on Tuesday. some diet changes and some exercise will hopefully get me to where I want to be soon. The wedding and all the activities took a toll on my diet and my exercise. I plan to begin again with those things that made me feel good and look good. I did re-discover that carbs are not my friends.

Lots of changes in the future.....excited to see how things all work out.
