It’s been difficult getting my blog postings in while I’m going back and forth to the hospital. It’s very hard watching a loved one who is sick. No matter who they are, it’s one of the most helpless situations that life can present. Something so totally out of our control.

That said, I am focusing on what I am eating because this would have sent me off on a sugar binge for sure and for several days. This blog is about change! I am changing the way I am treating myself during this very stressful time. In the next few days, as soon as I can, I will be adding Physique 57 work out videos to my daily routine. I am anxious to post about the positive changes it will bring to me physically.

 

 

I spent the day yesterday in the ER with my mom and she was admitted into the hospital. This is the type of stressor that would normally send me looking for sugar. Actually, I did look for some sugar tonight but couldn’t find any in the house so I settled on a nut bar that was sweetened with honey.

Knowing that I would be visiting my mom in the hospital, I prepared a bag which included a small baggie with raw almonds, an apple, a tangerine, a Lara bar and a bottle water. It’s so easy to go for the wrong food when you under stress or traveling.

When I got home from the hospital tonight, I said to my daughter, ‘let’s go out to eat’. I had a craving for Japanese and she and I could use some time together.

I really have to be careful because even heathy Chinese and Japanese food can be a trigger for me.

I saw my chiropractor on November 16, two days after I made a commitment to eat better. I was riddled with aches and pains and now since loosing some weight and eating healthy, I feel so much better. I was in his office this week, almost 3 months later and he asked me how I was feeling. I had to think for a minute. I felt fine with very little to complain about. Aside from some tendenitis in my right bisep area, I had no complaints.

 

I’ve been distracted the last few days with caring for my elderly mom who has been sick for 6 days and my uncle passing away. Real life challenges! I was wavering over the weekend and caught my footing again.

Two weeks ago, someone contacted me from a fitness company with studios in NYC, the Hampton’s, and LA. They sent me 3 work out videos which arrived yesterday. I’m so excited to work them into my CIN commitment. I’ll let you know all about it! 🙂

I’ve got a few appointments this morning…. more later.

AVOID at all cost. I need to avoid foods that set me off. I have company for the weekend and everyone wanted Chinese tonight. They have a healthy menu but I have learned during this process not to tempt myself and I don’t order a dish for myself. I’ll eat one of my healthy stand by dishes or a bowl of home made soup. I was weak tonight. I ordered a steamed dish but I ended up tasting everyone else’s dishes. It’s been a mild disaster. With a house full of company and Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow I have to do damage control in the morning and prepare carefully so that I have enough of the right food for my self tomorrow. It’s a good thing this is a process.
