Well, I'm finally moved and have time to write. I'm in the middle of a transition...I just sold my house in Colorado, that I lived in for 9 years, and will be moving to Princeton NJ in January. In th meantime my husband, daughter, and I are living in our friend's basement. it's a really nice space so that is good. But the transition definitely has me stressed. I've been eating ok, but I have gone up a pound. (174lbs). During the move I lost track of where I was...once we moved I looked at my calendar and realized that I should be on cycle 2 now (round 2), so here I am. Today was the first day I've really cheated on the diet...it was a no carb day and I had some crackers. I'm not worried, I know I will get back on tomorrow...but it is a sign of the stress I feel. I had flown out to NJ to interview for a job and the company never called be back...after they had said they would have a decision for me the following week. I can assume I didn't get the job, but it's really tough when you don't get closure. it really is like a bad break up. It's made me very stressed and down on myself. When I think back to the interview I realize that I really let my confidence, or more like lack of confidence, get in my way. This is what I plan to focus on right now. I need to start doing some positive affirmation work! I do have great experience and many strengths...so I need to start focusing on those.
That is the great thing about the 17 day diet, it really does help you feel better about yourself because you get some control back. It has done that for me. I hadn't felt in control with food in YEARS. That's why I have to keep the diet going. I also plan to start working out much more now. I'm no longer working so there's no excuse. I need it for my emotional state :) I need to get out of this depressed state :) Ok, bye for now.
