Derailed...again!

Well this turned out to be a life altering week. And not in a good way. I was once again derailed by life. I had a death in my husbands family this week, and it has been devastating to him and his family. Needless to say, we found out last Tuesday and I proceeded to vegetate on the couch with him for 5 days. I didn't worry about food too much, mostly because I think we just didn't really eat a lot.

I am back at work for part of this week before heading to the family to attend the funeral. I probably won't worry about the diet too much, mostly because I can't impose my diet on everyone else. Needless to say, this all happened right as I had a couple of deadlines at work making the whole experience more stressful.

A friend int he office reminded me that humans have different levels of optimal stress for inducing productivity. I realized how right she is, because I have been procrastinating at work and now that all this stress is on me to get it done, I am.

Anyway, I hoped on the scale Monday morning and realized despite the hideous five days previously, I had not gained back that much weight. About a pound. So, I am calling that a win and will try to get back in the swing of things over the next couple of weeks.

In the end nothing is as important as family. Give yours a hug today.
