Weigh In: Week 5 and other thoughts
This was a tough week.
I didn't want to acknowledge the weight I had gained last week. I put back on everything that I had lost since Memorial Day. The inches didn't come back though, so I knew I could push through it. I knew I needed more sleep. The fewer hours I sleep, the more weight I gain.
I managed to lose 2lbs over the weekend just by being mindful of what I ate and sleeping more.
I kept the momentum during the work week but I was depressed this past week. Returning to work, even though I was no longer working for Phil, was weird and surreal and emotional. I stopped up to check on the guys--my friends who still work for Phil--to see how they were doing and to offer my help. Having been out of the group and their daily routine, it was a little easier for me to be there. I helped pack up the personal items at his desk and we created an account at our Credit Union for people to donate to help his family with any expenses. He worked with a lot of people over 20 years
There was a lot of people at his funeral. That was Thursday. I was ok about going until I wasn't ok anymore and thankfully I was driving with two other people so I didn't have the choice to run away.
No one likes a funeral. I especially don't like them because I pick up the emotions of others if I don't guard myself. And when I do guard myself, I seem cool or giddy. I had to find the happy medium for this.
My voice broke and I got choked up when I saw the guys there and when I saw Phil's boys...and Phil, laying there, the most still I've ever seen him. It just seemed wrong. A mistake. I guess that is why they're called accidents...
The pictures at the funeral made me smile and feel sad at the same time. They showed a man full of life being goofy, spending time with his wife and kids and friends and family. Looking at the pictures, I felt like I should have been at a birthday or retirement party not a funeral. It's all just stupid and not fair and not right and I'm angry but I don't know at who--the driver? Phil? Ugh.
Anyway, this is supposed to be about week 5.
Since 6/4/2016
Weight: -1lb
Inches: -6.25 total (arms, legs, stomach,hips)
No change in inches. I lost the 3lbs since last week, before I left for the beach.
Over the last few days, I've added Plexus Slim, ProBio5 and today I just started BioCleanse to complete the trifecta.
I'll comment more on that in a later post because I literally just had the BioCleanse about 30 minutes ago, but I will say, Plexus helps me from eating everything in site--I'm not craving and overeating. I'm sleeping better which helps with the eating thing and I feel a little better. My skin is softer. I don't know if I'm more focused or in a better mood but some of that comes from being busy and having a 4 year old who doesn't understand "This is quiet time--either rest quietly or work on your workbook pages but this is time for us to sit quietly and rest." Screen time isn't for another 20 minutes. I can do this!
Sigh...anyway, so overall, it was a good reboot week. I had a great Plexus meeting on Thursday night over wine and that helped bring my goals back into focus again. (See, I blogged about it, LOL)
So here's to another great week. And a great one it will be since it ends with my birthday on the 15th!! Hehehe!! YAY!
