Doing great!... NOT!

Well it's been a while.  Probably a good indication as to how I am doing in other aspects of my life, namely my diet and work outs.  I've been eating a lot of comfort foods lately to combat the stress I have been under.  I really feel it is the lack of sleep that is the main source of my stress as well as a trying almost-2 year old, our finances,  my husband's issues, and dealing with the decision to move our family to the west-coast, just to name a few.  It's funny as my life feels like it is out of control at the moment I am feeling immense anxiety when it comes to the organization and cleanliness of our house.  I almost feel that the feeling like I can't catch up around the house mirrors how I feel in the rest of my life.  As I walk from room to room I see all that I would like to organize and clean but I just can't seem to catch up.

I really have to learn to put my self as a priority as opposed to those "things" that I need to do around the house.  I find my mind has been drifting during my work outs to those tasks that are waiting.  I used to find going to the gym my time of solace, time to meditate away from the kids.  I must work on feeling that way again this week.  I am planning on adding extra work outs so that I am doing a "double" twice a week, which may seem a monumental task as it seems I am constantly interruped by the kids during my workouts.  Last week I had good momentum going on my run and my son kept turning off the treadmill on me.  It was hard to regain my focus after that.

So putting my failure this week behind me I am going to work on pushing through the plateau/ funk I am finding myself in.  Even though I have not lost any weight I do feel like my body is changing.  My clothes are fitting different and my fat seems to feel looser around my belly.  I believe If I keep pushing it will begin to melt away.

The focus this week :  take care of my self first, house second.
