December 15th, 2014 Challenging Day

I just wanted to open this blog post with this: What I'm doing is working very well and I do not plan to stop what I'm doing anytime soon. I plan on enhancing what I'm doing in the exercise department, but the accountability and support elements are strong and working wonders for me. It's different and that's the thing. Different naturally strikes some as crazy. It isn't for me.

I've described the daily tweets as an "extreme accountability measure," and to some, it probably seems like it, but for me it doesn't feel extreme anymore. This element of my recovery has had a huge impact on my relationship with food in an inspiring way. It's inspired me to slow down, take better care in my choices, get more creative in the kitchen, read labels and more.

Today has been a very challenging day. Not with me or about me, but about someone very close to me whom I love very much. They're struggling horribly and it breaks my heart. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to name them or describe their struggle. I'll just say, it's consumed me today, in worry.

I had planned to take my orientation on the weight training machines at the Y today. But decided to postpone it until tomorrow or even Wednesday. I came straight home from work and worried some more about what I can do to help my loved one. Then I did what I do when faced with something overwhelming, I laid down and slept for an hour and a half.

I woke up, felt better, had a good phone conversation with a family member--and proceeded to throw a dinner together. I put on my shoes after dinner and was out the door to the YMCA for an elliptical workout when I discovered my car has a flat tire. I arranged for a ride to the studio in the morning and decided to deal with the tire situation tomorrow mid-morning.

I grabbed the rest of my homemade fruit sorbet from the freezer for my #lastfoodofday. I'm seriously making more of this stuff soon! It's a wonderful treat! Next time I'm making it with cashew milk.

I could easily do some body-weight strength training exercises before bed. I think I would feel good about that. Yeah. I'll do that now.
