This week started out with me feeling unusually depressed and frumpy and it went downhill from there.
Late Tuesday night my husband woke me to tell me he had to go to the hospital. Based on his symptoms I was worried it was a heart attack. Fortunatley it was not, he has to have his gallbladder out. Relief! We spent two days in the hospital running tests on his heart and then gallbladder.
Wednesday I was up for over 20 hours and had a rough eating day! Fortunatley on Thursday I returned to my regulary scheduled healthy habits and as of this morning I am down a bit, I will weigh in tomorrow to see how my week ended.
What did I learn from this week. One bad day is not going to derail me. I had a 57 point day on Wednesday. Seriously! I ate over 2 days worth of food in 1 stressfilled day BUT I tracked every bite and the next day I got back on track. I will stick with my healthy habits, I will continue to eat healthy foods and I know that while I may indulge a time or two and jump into the deep end of food occasionally, I will be successful because I will not quit!
I went and bouth the mother of the bride dress today. It's pretty but I don't feel pretty in it. I do really like it and I'm having it tailord to fit and may alter the hem a bit. I started to let it bring me down and then I realized that I still have a month before the wedding. 1 Month of healthy eating and exercise to make me feel great. I do not expect to drop a size or two in that amount of time but I will be feeling great in that dress at my daughter's wedding because I know that between now and then I will be doing what I can to be healthy.
I sent my daughter and her fiancee a picture of me in the dress, my daughter cried, she loves it, her lovely fiancee also loved it, she said it looked great on me. They are so happy right now. I can't help being happy with them.
So this emotional roller coaster week has ended on an unexpected high note.
