I should have updated sooner

I’m at 192 now. I’m not sure when the madness will stop. Emotionally I’m kind of roller coaster-y. I’ve been having mostly good days and then a few where I feel a bit depressed.

The slow recovery of my back has been frustrating but it’s definitely getting better so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The transitional state of my house makes it difficult for me to relax. Not having any energy to deal with my weight gain is scaring me too. I’m sure I could go on. I don’t even want to think about how much I have to work between now and mid January. These aren’t excuses just descriptions of how I’m feeling and explanations why.

Because I really don’t give up hope and certainly don’t give up trying, although it may appear to the contrary, I have some action items in place. My health insurance provides me with a service where I can utilize a life coach among other features that I still need to investigate. I’ve already started taking advantage of it.

Because I’m under chiropractic care I have the modest goal of incorporating 10 to 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer five or more times a week. I’m also going to a class held by my chiropractor to go over safe and effective exercise I can do. And that’s it for now. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself for fear I might crack or rebel.

I’ll be getting a call from my life coach once a month. I’m excited to see about the other services the program offers and will certainly describe them here once I start taking using them.
