So much for my weekend...
Hi all...
Well, my long-awaited long weekend hasn't turned out the way I had planned. 
It went from so-so on Friday to "not too bad" on Saturday, to really yucky today. My eating has also followed the same path...
Friday....two regular flour tortillas (not the worst thing, but still not great)
Saturday...2 Russel Stover candies (my body can't handle two, although they are yummy)
Today...I had a crab cake, 6 grilled shrimp, dinner salad, and a side of rice pilaf. Again, probably not the worst thing I could have, but not really the smartest, either.
By the time dinner rolled around tonight, I was feeling very tired and discouraged. I spent 5 hours at the hospital while my mom had surgery on her broken hip. I'm pretty sure that if someone had offered me a Pepsi with ice that I would have fallen at their feet in gratitude. I guess I don't want comfort foods, I want comfort drinks.
I know that stress can cause all kinds of feelings and reactions, but I'm having a hard time dealing with it. Between my mom, my students, my father-in-law, and my own "idiot" son (the one with his head up his butt), I want to run away from home on a daily basis. I know that's not something I can do, but I'm sooo tired of being the grownup sometimes. I want to be selfish and do things just for me, but I don't think that's going to work.
O.k....I've vented and felt sorry for myself for most of the day. It's time to snap out of it! So, someone smack me quick! 
I've reset my counter to 1 day...it won't let me do zero days. Tomorrow, I'll be up early to have a good breakfast and get to the gym even though I don't have school and could sleep in. Then, I'm going to spend the day working on my lesson plans and other school stuff. More than anything, I'm going to get my big old butt going again, because I know that I can do this. And, I refuse to let one bad...o.k. really crappy weekend ruin the progress I've made so far.
Many thanks for letting me vent...
Great big  to everyone and TTFN!!
