So not ready for Monday

August 17th, 2013 at 10:13 pm

I know it is still Saturday, but I'm just so not ready for my library classes to begin on Monday. I'm still feeling so run down and on Thursday started feeling like I was coming down with something. So today I stayed home from church and am trying to rest. Ugh.

Talking to NE last night was good. Started out feeling like carp warmed over, but felt better as the conversation went. He's good for me like that. Smile

This last week /summer my spending/eating has really gotten out of hand. I'm not quite in the territory of spending 100% of what I make, but after the $500/mo that goes towards IRA/car payment, I think most of it is going towards paying my credit cards in full. At least I'm not hitting my savings - other than not adding any to it...

I'm now back up to my highest weight ever. Frown I'm so sick of this cycle - losing weight, gaining, losing, gaining ..

I started my new higher dose of synthroid today. Maybe that'll help eventually. What would probably help even more is if I cut out fast food entirely from my spending and cut way back on buying junk food. (Between Plink points for spending a certain amount at certain restaurants and BK adding sweet potato fries to their menu ... ugh.)

A few months ago when I was walking with my former walking partner, I told her that I wondered if the only thing helping me not gain weight back faster was all the walking I was doing. I got my answer this week - an emphatic yes. Didn't walk once this week and have ate horribly ... four pounds up. It probably would've been even worse if I hadn't at least been semi-active each day at work.

I really must get myself back on track financially and food wise. It's just so hard to do when you feel so utterly exhausted. I have to do it though because I just can't keep this up like this.

---
Tomorrow I must go in to the school and put up the posters in the computer lab, put together the orientation presentations and figure out how I'm going to keep ten Kinders occupied for 45 minutes without putting them on the computers (per teacher request.) At least I have another week to figure out what I'm doing lesson wise for the quarter.

    I hope you are able to enjoy your last day before school starts again, too.

    And that you are feeling better soon!

    Ah, I hate the end of summer. I always like the Gretchen Rubin stuff about doing very simple things to help yourself feel better like eat a piece of fruit, go for a very short walk. Just little baby steps. Sometimes that's all a person can manage, and sometimes it really helps. We're pulling for you!

    Weight fluctuations can be so disheartening! However, it is extremely hard to gain 4lbs in one week. I am fairly sure that what that weight gain reflects is partly water weight. If you've been eating fast food or restaurant food, it is likely that it was heavily salted - making your body retain more water. Eat well this week, drink lots of fluids and you'll notice a difference next week. I hope you see more comforting results next week. Good luck!

    You are not alone this time of year! I encourage you to find some way, any way, to get your walks back in. Even though a healthy diet is like 70% of weight loss, I find that if I'm not exercising I'm not very diligent with my diet, either. And if I am exercising I tend to make better choices with my diet. I guess the two go hand in hand. Plus, exercise is an antidepressant for me, always welcome the first month or two of the school year!
