STRESS!!! And a win

This has been a long week for me.  I look something like this:

 

Its been a bad week.  The kind of week that involves multiple days of tears, the admission that I think its time to find a new job and the occasional discussion about why I should or should not put mass amounts of food on top of my feelings in order to keep them under control.

 

 

The good news is that I mostly won the battle against food vs feelings.  I didn't eat a ton too much, i did eat some.

 

 

The bad news is the stress screwed up the fibro largely - a lot of hip and back pain, the loss of the ability to reach the floor again (ugh, I hate that one!) and generally feeling crappy which never helps the situation any.

 

 

The good news - someone I know just had 5 kitties arrive at her door.  The cuteness im picturing in my head just made everything else i was thinking of disappear

 

 

The bad news - the rest of this post may have just been chased out by thoughts of kitty cats.

 

 

The good news - I lost 10 lbs in total.  Today I got to move my little marker to the next wall and do a happy dance.

 

 

The bad news - i'm feeling like if I hadn't put a chocolate cupcake and a few other slips on top of my emotions, that would have been better

 

 The good news - the center is paying me 10$/lb lost this weekend as an incentive to stay on track despite turkey and maybe even lose.  Ill take it.

 

 

Actually, that may be enough rambling for today.  I'm thinking about kitties now.  I want kitties - especially since we have a great foster program up here where everything is provided and all you do is love them.  I can't though as I'm allergic.
