Stress really does take a toll

Stress....I can honestly say there has been enough of it going around this past week or so. Between not knowing what is going on with my job, staying the course of eating right and people-there has been stress and it's taken hold of my weight loss. I'm not cheating, over or under eating anything. I'm following the guidelines of the program, my body is just reacting to the stress that's going on around me. I am trying to stay focused on what's in front of me and what's important. But it's becoming aggravating because I am letting people's attitudes, problems get the best of me. I know that not everyday is rainbow and sunshine but really...we need to get a grip with our lives and stop letting the petty little things be such a big deal. (The last thing I want this blog to be is a venting post-so that's all I'll say about that.)

Today has been OK, work stress has minimized for the time being-everything else has stayed the same. But that's OK, people will act and be the way they want to be, but I won't let that effect my life and how I'm handling the changes in my life right now. I gained 1 pound today. I want to break through this number that's been staring me in the face for the last 5 days so bad. Jack (my scales) and I had a little talk this morning. I shared with him that when I stand on it, I want to see smaller numbers, SMALLER NUMBERS. He didn't really have anything to say other then a blinking number....thanks Jack. I'm not asking for much. :) So I've gained a pound..OK it happened and I'll lose it again. This won't stop me, deter me, derail my thought process or frustrate me. It happened and life goes on.......I'm going to go eat an orange.

Weight loss: +1
