Stress eating.

Why in the world can I not be a stress exerciser? Why cant I be a stress house cleaner? How awesome would that be?!  I would essentially be a hot maid! Unfortunately I am a top of the class A+ stress eater!!

A few stressful events have happened since Friday and I am struggling to breathe. The hubby had knee surgery Friday which was to have a recuperation time of 2-3 days.  He hobbled out on crutches 3 hours later with a recuperation time of 6 weeks. So my mind automatically went to everything that was going to have to be rearranged and of course I stressed out immediately. The next day I had to take a trip to the walk in dentist for a crown that had fallen off and a rank decaying going on in the leftover tooth. I walked out of there 1300 dollars poorer. Of course finances are always a source of stress. Paying for a bridge with money I don't have was just cause for a slight panic attack and binge. Last but not least my oldest daughter "forgot" that her glasses were off of her face and on the floor when she went to stand up. Those glasses broke right down the middle and my credit card screamed.  So all of that in a span of two days was detrimental for me running and jumping back on the wagon. I totally tried to jump as it went by but I missed and fell on my ass hard!
I know all of this is a mind game. Its a game I don't care for at all. I think mind games are worst.  I am fighting a mental battle with myself. I've checked my weight and I am less than I was last Friday. I have lost some weight with all of the running around I have done this weekend. At the rate I'm going it will not be pretty by weigh in day.  I've got my lunch together to take tomorrow so I won't cheat at work. I'm so incredibly frustrated with myself!!  Jason is trying to keep me in check and I am thankful for my team mate. I love him.
I forgot to mention that the "get fit" awards night was last Tuesday. Unfortunately I didn't win but am happy to say Dr. Bratsch won the whole thing!! She lost over 7% of her body fat in 12 weeks!!! So very proud of her and her hard work!  She won a multitude of items one being a spa trip for two. She so graciously asked me to join her when she goes! She said it was for all of my hard work! She is awesome! So blessed to work for someone I love to death. As for my results I lost 17.6 pounds, 5.8% body fat and 8+ inches. I was pretty proud of those results! I may not of won the big prize but I did win a challenge I had for myself. So in the end I felt like a silver medal winner.
