Hi, friends. It's been a hectic and on some level, discouraging weekend. Life happened this weekend. It happens to us all and to some more than others...and sometimes it really SUCKS. Life isn't fair, it "rains on the just and the unjust" and sometimes the rain doesn't ever seem to be stopping.
Well at our house we had thought the 'rain' had stopped at least long enough for a rainbow to show through, then all of sudden here comes the rain...again. Now it's not a downpour or a 'hurricane' but still it's that consistent, annoying, "life stinks sometimes" kinda rain and there isn't anything I can do about it! All this 'rain' has absolutely nothing to do with dd/ttwd but it did affect our modified boot camp schedule but the 'rain' itself was the most discouraging of all, in fact we actually continued on with our dd activities which I think helped me process things better. I also got a wonderful evening with Foreman on Sunday, we had dinner out with another couple and then watched a movie snuggled on the couch afterwards.
Boot camp went according to plans, sorta... the point was to have it during our regular life so week could adapt and continue. After our talk on Sunday evening we both felt like we had accomplished that goal; howeve we both didn't truly feel like it was a "boot camp". We got our feet wet, this time and if Foreman decides to do another then we'll see if we will set it up the same or different. I'm actually pleasantly surprised at everything we were able to accomplish during our regular everyday lives and how close I feel to him, and how we both grew a little more comfortable in our roles throughout the week. So my final opinion, it was a success. Will we adjust more next time? Definitely. Will we ever do it again? I hope.
So what does this post have to do with emotional eating? Well, due to the weekend 'rain' I've been on the phone and email with doctors and hospitals etc...all morning and a good part of the weekend. I could have ha a wonderful breakfast this morning of eggs, or oatmeal, something healthy but no, I'm having roasted garlic triscuits with cheese melted on top! lol So here's to emotional eating after the 'rain'.
Hugs,
Sass
Ohhhhhhhhh man those garlic triscuits and cheese were the 'death of me' a few years ago. How can one plate of crackers and cheese add up to so many (albeit delicious) calories?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you have been caught in the rain. It is amazing how, usually once Dd is settled in, it doesn't waiver greatly. And if it does, you feel it will return. That is such a wonderful, freeing safety net.
I hope the sun shines soon for you Sass!

Thanks, Willie. Ahhhh, triscuits, I would have rather had Doritos oh well we make do. I know the sunshine is on the way. :)
DeleteI am an emotional eater too, so I totally know where you are coming from! I hope you are able to get your "rain" under control or at least get a nice big umbrella to protect you all from it ; )
ReplyDeleteScarlet
Thanks, Scarlet. The rain seems to be tapering off. I've never been an umbrella person but I may need to look into to buying one these days. ;-)
DeleteHi sass, I'm sorry for the rain and hope the sun shines on you soon. Glad that you were still able to keep boot camp going, albeit perhaps modified and that you feel connected and more confident in your roles. I would call that a success :)

Yes that stinkin' rain! It's better now some sunshine in the future. Definitely a success. :)
DeleteI hope this week is going a little bit better Sass. Good for you for keeping up with your boot camp the best you could. I'm glad that it seemed to help some.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a bit of emotional eating this week as well. Sigh.
Susie, it is going better, than the weekend. It did help with a few things and I definitely have seen improvements in myself and him throughout last week.
Deleteoh, no I hope all is well, Susie...by the way all that garlic yesterday gave me indigestion, aaackk!

ReplyDeleteSo good things came from Boot Camp. Yea for you guys!! Glad it helped with the rain. It's amazing how ttwd helps in so many aspects of our lives. :)
ReplyDeleteGrab an apple (Fuji ones are the best) and some cheese - super yummy and not quite as many calories. :)
Hope the sun comes out soon. Thinking about ya. :)
Hi, Sarah. It definitely helps with my emotions, things like this past rain would have normally put me in an understandably horrible mood. The difference now is that the mood comes but is short lived.
DeleteOhhhh, a juicy apple and cheese that does sound good and definitely better for me, :-)
Hugs,
Sass
We have nevr done boot camp, not even a modifiyed version! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteComfort food can do you in and out. I like Sarah's suggestion.
Meredith
Hi, Meredith. Comfort food, can definitely do me in, but the boot camp was definitely good for me. ;-)
DeleteSass
Aww - I love comfort food! It definitely helps us over the rough patches.
ReplyDeleteBut despite all the 'rain' - I'm so glad that you and Foremen had a successful modified bootcamp - and that you can see the growth.
hugs,
Cali
I love comfort food soooo much. Too bad I didn't have any yummy cupcakes. :-(
