Hi All,
My Teenager is busy with finals, it has been a full on week of ESSAY WRITING, SPEECHES, PUNCTUATION, THESIS, BIBLIOGRAPHIES,INDEX CARDS, etc etc ...
I have forgotten how long a child sits on a chair all day in class and how much reading and writing {typing }takes place, hahaha ....I spent this whole week, proofreading all his work, sitting and me are not friend, I like to keep moving, it is my nature, of having A.D.D ,lol true fact.. so it meant NO EXERCISE ,AT ALL ,this week, 8AM-8PM every day on a chair, in front of a computer, reading, typing, and rereading and retyping ...[Did I mention I am NOT an office person} I Work and like to work, outdoors or in malls which are sunny and lit up ,and people are always around me talking and music is playing all day, and i am creative using my hands, and my body all the time.. hahahah ..so the challenge was on ..usually with challenges that challenge me to do things outside of MY COMFORT ZONE, cause me to stress internally, which inturn causes me to want to not eat , or overeat, by the end of the day .... Especially if I am very tired ...BUT all is good, I got see by sitting at a desk I was able to munch on my carrot sticks and apples. which was so much easier than trying to do it while being a taxi mom, or in the garden picking up heavy things ,like mannequins, or rocks, or potting soil etc etc , no time for "snacks"... I did not notice I drank less water by sitting compared to when I am outdoors being physical .. I HAD NO time to journal my food ,or exercise, having sat all day one would think one would have physical energy..not in my case,my head and eyes were so tired, {not used to all the intense reading, of phrases, quotes, and facts I learnt about 20 yrs ago} ... hahaha I had no energy to eat my dinner or stay awake past 8pm, so my sleeping pattern sure did improve this week, even on D, lol ... Today is the last day of marking ,proofing, retyping, and re reading .. Tomorrow I weigh myself.. Not sure what the scale will say, but my clothes are feeling good on me,and I am thrilled that I did not allow a change in my routine which was pretty full on, as it preventing me from journaling and exercise, {which I am usually so anal about }and yet I an ok with it, and calm, and feel I have overcome another hurdle in my character, of being a control freak about my circumstances which reverted to being a control freak in my new circumstance for the week, hahaha but it all worked out, I got to snack, I discovered I ACTUALLY LIKE to snack now ... yet another breakthrough, and that it really is ok that I DID NOT exercise this whole week ..Tomorrow is a new day and week for me, and I will be back in "my zone" on my journey to lose weight and get fit... wish me loads of luck on the getting fit side please, as I know 6 days of nothing is going to let me know in the first 1o minutes of my workout, hahahaha ...have GR8 WEEKEND EVERYONE .... LOVE YOURSELF, AND BE KIND TO YOURSELF , AND GO ,GO ,GOAL !!!
