Tough Week

I'm really struggling today with trying not to eat everything in sight! It has been a very stressful week at work and today, even working out is not helping me feel satisfied. I want chocolate and the 2 Ghirardelli squares I allowed myself are NOT doing anything to make the craving go away. I drank some peppermint tea, have been guzzling water...and I can't get chocolate out of my head. I keep replaying the Joan Jett song "I Hate Myself for Loving You" over and over in my head about chocolate! (It really has been one of those weeks.) I'm going to push through this and keep reminding myself that the swim I took earlier and the good choices I'm trying to make when eating are going to pay off...it's just really flipping hard to take things one day at a time this week...

    I know what helps my sweets cravings. I rarely crave sweets, so when I do, it's a bad craving! I buy International Delights creamers...the really decadent ones, and have an afternoon coffee, and I measure out one serving size of the creamer. I just it in the fridge at work so it's convenient. I get the sweet taste, and coffee fills me up, so killing two birds with one stone!

Weight, What?!

I am having a little conflict with myself lately. I am still 15 lbs away from what I weighed prior to having baby Aurora and this is frustrating me. However, if I am being completely honest with myself, I am not really doing anything about it. I am coming to the realization that I HATE summer. I don't hate being off work and I don't hate spending a lot of time with my daughter, but I HATE the heat and humidity. If I had the choice of going outside for a walk up and down the hills in my neighborhood while pushing the stroller or putting my hand in the oven for 30 seconds, I think I'd choose the latter. I am in a constant state of second-guessing myself. Do I put my 9 month old in the stroller slathered with sunscreen, in a hat that she hates and let her sweat it out so that I can get in some exercise or do we just stay inside and play? Staying inside and playing has most definitely been winning lately. We have been to the pool a few times, but this is not quite an aerobic ...

Is this the real life? Or is it fantasy?

These past few days have felt a bit like a dream. Everyone kept telling me that things would be a bit difficult after my D&C, but I kept trying to reassure myself that I would be fine. Truth is, it's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. I feel okay for most of the day, but every now and then I just feel like crying. I'm sure it is because my hormones are a bit wacko right now, but that does not make it much easier. Lots of people are advising me to take this week off, but i feel like the more I sit home and think, the tougher it is. I need some routine back in my world. I have been trying so hard to stay positive and think forward and try to be optimistic. I'm just struggling with it. I am very happy that Spring break is coming up and Ben and I will be able to go to North Carolina for a few days and escape. Anyway, I don't want to be Debbie Downer. I'm just trying to work through all of this. Thanks again for taking the time out to read this.
