Ok, so I woke up today with pain in my back. Slept wrong I think. Not good considering my test tomorrow. I've stretched and it's better. I am nervous for my test, but also really excited. Half way to black belt is a good thing. Of course when I think of how far I need to go to get to black.....sigh. I don't care. I'm determined. I'm doing this thing.
I've struggled this week with eating. The cravings have been bad after my indulgences on the cruise. I haven't felt great, still have had a lot of dizziness. Today is the first day that I woke up and felt "normal" minus the back thingy. I'm glad it is Friday. I have a lot to do. I've still got to get the house decorated. Lists made. Shopping started. Sigh.....Christmas is hard work. I used to love this time of year. It was my favorite. That's why we got married at Christmastime so we could have lovely Christmas decorations. But, these days I feel like it is such a hectic time. It's a lot harder to enjoy. I'm going to try and enjoy it anyway for my kids. Or at least keep my stress to a minimum. As much as I can. Internet shopping helps that a lot.
I've had trouble getting back into my routine, but I feel like I can do that today. I've got to get back to tracking and drinking my water. Yesterday I did 2 TKD classes. And I feel like I'm ready for my test. My weight is still up from the cruise, but on it's way back down. Some of it is water retention I think. Anyhoo, I'll be posting about my test on Monday. I hope you all have a good weekend. That's all for me for now. Short post. I have to get some work done. Big computer conversion today. Have a great weekend!
I feel your hectic-ness, and hope you get much accomplished this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to keep the holiday stress at a low roar. Stress is the thing that gets me off track fast. Good luck with your test and hope your neck gets better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good weekend and that the back improves!!!!

I also was on a trip, a cruise also, but a river cruise in France), and it takes a while to get back in the groove. Take care of yourself. This time of the year we can burn the candle at both ends. Have a great weekend! Snow forecast here...
ReplyDeleteOne little bit at a time, eh?
ReplyDeleteComing back from all that fun into the cold and bustle of the holidays!
One little bit at a time.
I had the same experience coming off of Thanksgiving. TG was really a three day challenge, with my son's birthday party extravaganza Friday and Apple Cup Saturday. I haven't really felt fully disciplined since, like I awakened my overeating impulse.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your test today!
Hang in there Ann. You have had a lot going on and it takes a while to get back in the groove of things.
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering where you were (I'm slow). In spite of the hecticness (I might have made up a word -- spellcheck thinks so) it's good to feel back in the swing of things :)
ReplyDeleteLove shopping online. Helps a ton! I hope you passed!
ReplyDeleteHope your back feels better! I need to up my water too - I am hoping its water weight I am retaining - not sure how I could gain 2.8 pounds over a weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Oh back issues, EEK! My neck is off right now - not horrible but close. I've had whiplash 3x and suffer from it's effects. Hope you feel better soon!
