Finally Starting To See the Light

I have finally started to see the light through the clouds after being sick for almost two weeks. I'm still coughing and the headaches are faint, but overall, my energy level is picking up. I have been afraid to check my weight these past few days since I've been eating to satisfy what I think my body needs. Happily, I'm not any heavier than I was two weeks ago. However, I'm not lighter either.

Let's see what the rest of this week will bring. I think I can actually get on my treadmill today. I've also lessened the stress levels in regard to my work load. I had been trying to do an at home internship, but it's just way too much work. I think having too much on your plate can work against your weight loss. I'm sure there are studies out there that prove this. Working at home should be less stressful, but I can't remember ever being as stressed out as I've been these past few months, what with taxes and losing weight and owning a business, not to mention being a wife and mother and homemaker...It's absolutely unbelievable.

When you work from home, I think, based on my experience, you feel like you can fit more in the day, but that's just not so. I've actually thought of closing up shop and going out to work for someone else, just so I don't expect so much from myself. I'm not going to do that, but I know that I weighed less when I worked outside of the home.

So, after much introspection and several interesting observations about myself, I have decided to leave the internship program and work with what I already have on my plate, no more, no less.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Being sick can really throw your diet out the window. I hope you're feeling better soon and you can get back to your normal routine.
