One step forward and two steps back.

As soon as I feel like I've got a handle on my diet & exercise, something happens that sets me back to square one-/ or maybe even negative one! Last week I was unable to exercise at all, and I probably ate fast food 6 or 7 times. It wasn't what the doctor ordered but I was listening to my body and trying to do what I felt was best.

Stress can cause some crazy things. I've had a lot going on... From my father-in-law being diagnosed with lung cancer, to my mom being in the hospital 4 days & 3 nights because of a fall that left a huge gash on her shin that became infected. I've had to deal with people not paying us our money, the office staff/ cheer coach at my daughters school being idiots, posting 6 things on Craigslist all at once & a million people calling (I brought that on myself), a chick that I work with running her mouth about me on Facebook & expecting me not to say anything-/ NOT HAPPENING! -/dealing with a local furniture store in which we bought our daughter a new bedroom suit & when it arrives, two of the pieces are the totally wrong style, 1 piece is damaged and 1 is missing...& after a second delivery we are now left with two damaged pieces & 1 wrong piece and are being told that they are on back order so it will be 2-3 weeks to swap them out!

...the list goes on & on
I kept a severe headache for about a week and even Excedrin Migraine wouldn't completely knock it. I was having lightheadedness & dizzy spells when I would stand up, and I felt sick to my stomach. There was noooo way I could have exercised... I just took it easy, tried to calm down & not dwell on everything going on in my life. I made a dr appointment for Friday but cancelled it because my symptoms were subsiding. I know it was stress, and as things start to come together I am feeling better and better. I hope to get back on track starting tomorrow.
