Missed that week..

I know! I missed last week entirely!  It was my son's birthday week, and amid prepping for a party with a bunch of 6 year old kids and attempting to make everything from scratch, I definitely bit off more then I could chew! Throw in a dose of school issues for him and the past little bit have been very crappy.  My son was being bullied, and was having some serious issues.  I had to contact the school, then go in and talk to the principal and a few other people to get some sort of help for him.  Thankfully, I now have it under control, but I can say that my health was put on the back burner.  Haven't been out running, haven't been out at all.  Plus, being an emotional eater, I was indulging my psychological need with plenty of caloric mood suppressants!  Needless to say, this week sees me up at the scales.  My fault, my setback, my bad!

weight: 234.2
Waist : 42
Hips :53
Bust : 52

I'm disappointed in myself, and am feeling like crap!  Physically and mentally.  I have a bad cold coming in, sore throat, cough, muscle aches, headache, stuffed nose. Plus, both kids and hubby are sick.  Then I am mentally sick with myself. Always an excuse why I can't get out there, or why I should have that treat!  Ugh! Disgusting!

I have been trying to make a large healthy dinner that I can make multiple dinners with, and freeze, and one treat of some kind to add to it!  Last week was lasagna, pickled carrots and lemon poppy seed bread.  This week was Bouilie (a french peasant soup), and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Trying to slowly take out processed junk and substitute a more clean eating lifestyle. I figure putting in homemade snacks in my kids' lunch is better then processed cookies, etc.  So onwards we go!  Hoping to get out there more, and for crying out loud....stop eating the crap! One cookie is good enough, you don't need 10!

Another little switch this week, well, 2 weeks, is that I deactivated my facebook account.  I found I was on a share everything kick, which is me.  I don't sugarcoat things. If I am having a great day, I say so, if not, I say so. I wear my heart on my sleeve as it were.  Anyways, there were a few people who felt the need to let me know how, in PM, how bad my parenting was and what I should do to fix it. (Regarding son's school issues) So by deactivating it, I cut there influence out and am able to think clearly for myself.  I will reactivate it (after 1 month) and I will not be quite the share bear I was.  Those that truly know me and care about me will know what I am going through, everyone else will get generic status' and know only minimal.  I also will be doing a deleting fest...get rid of my emotional vampires! Those that scroll facebook to make themselves feel better about their lives! Anyways, hopefully next week can get me into the gym at least! Let's move forward shall we! :)
