Another dietbet. I guess that's what my husband gets for having a guy's night out. :) I spend $30! My depression and stress load have gotten worse the last few weeks and I have been having a really hard time staying on track with my eating. I have been eating HORRIBLY! I am happy to report, however, that my weight has only gone up .2 lbs this week and the other weeks I even managed to still lose around .5 lb, but that is a far cry from the 1.5 lbs I was losing per week! sigh! I attribute it to my working out. I have gotten in a really good habit with that and have been following a 5k running program and trying to do at least 1 or 2 days of Jillian Michael strength training dvds as well for a 4 or 5 day a week workout program. Not as intense as the 6 days I was doing. Maybe I will try upping it again for this diet bet. :) I am less than 10 lbs away (9 lbs!) from goal weight! Hopefully this diet bet will take me all the way there!
I need to find a way to relieve my stress. I don't know how to do that. It will just build and build and build and I will squish it back in its box until it explodes all over and I am in a depressive blech for however long it takes me to clean it up. Once the apathy is cleared I am normal again until it happens. It's a nasty cycle and I don't like it!
Well, I don't know if anyone is reading these rambles but if you did I hope it helps you somehow. :) And if you have good tips on stress relief, let me know. Although I will say this: working out / running does not relieve stress for me. I have had more than one argument with my sweet husband about that because that is how he relaxes - not so for me! ;)
