My stress level is down to a reasonable level AND I managed to get almost everything done yesterday. My first inclination was to skip the workout but I went anyway. I'm glad I did. It released most of my tension.
I think I was able to get everything done because I had a plan. I knew what I wanted to do and in which order. This helped tremendously. Mr. List-guy strikes again!
I am back to my regular strict organized self so this makes me much happier. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I bounce from one thing to another, like a pinball, I don't accomplish much. I get part of a lot of things done but never seem to finish something.
I think this is part of the problem when I diet. I start out gangbusters, but eventually other things come along and I fall of the wagon. I have so many excuses for why this is okay. Evil Chet keeps whispering in my ear about how one unhealthy meal...one day of unhealthy meals...one holiday season of unhealthy meals...won't hurt me. The problem is that I have a hard time getting back in the grove when I get out of my comfort zone.
We are in our 11th week of this journey and so far I have lost 40+ pounds. While it is not on the level of the weight loss that Rudy or Daniel, from this year's Biggest Lose,r have achieved, it is a VERY long way from where I started. Mrs B commented to me the other day that I don't seem to be napping on the couch as much. True. Now I am armed with a list...and BUNCHES of energy...so I don't feel the need. I think that most of those naps were the result of depression and self loathing about the state of my chubby self. I now feel like there is hope.

So things are almost back to normal. Mrs B is out tonight doing her charity work so I am skipping the gym and baking. Not quite the workout I would have liked but that's the way the (sugar) cookie crumbles.
This is a personal message to Batman. BITE ME. I probably wouldn't get stressed out either if I only had to work till 2 o'clock in the afternoon...and then instead of working out at the gym sat around smoking see-gars in my spare time. Walk a mile in my shoes, Amigo, and see how they feel. Keep this up and I'm gonna get that butler dude Alfred to kick your mask wearing, beer drinking, butt.
Phew, that's another way I deal with stress. GET IT OUT.
Hang in there Travelers. There is a light at the end of the tunnel...wait, is it supposed to be red?...Damn, I think that is Reinholt..or Randolph...or whoever the heck that furry little flying freak is. Duck!
One Step at a Time.
Happy Trails!

Oh my goodness, just a minute while I wipe the tears from my face and pick myself back up off the floor. Them's fighting words Batman. I am glad to see that Chip is in a "chipper" mood. Our party for Ken today was really great. Some folks even said that it was the best potluck ever. You can tell that Chip is making a life change. Several people noticed his healthy choices of lunch items. I know it's not easy to pass up all the carbs but he makes it look that way. By the way, I read the sign (right side up) with no problem, not because I was in an accident but because my brain was installed upside down.
LOL..I agree that YOUR mind was definitely installed upside down. No doubt there.
I am going to miss Harrison Coldsprings...BUT...part of my new life is to make sure that friends never are far from my heart...be that SParker...or Ken...or Ruthann...or Venus (who was looking fantastically radiant today).
This is a new life for me and I have the opportunity to conquer the world.
As I was grocery shopping tonight, I came up with the BEST plan to document my weight loss.
You will have to wait for this one. IT IS GOING TO BE CLASSIC. I GUARANTEE IT!!!!!!!!!!
