I went to the Y today! Woo Hoo! I think it is my first time since last September! I did 35 minutes on the treadmill and lower body weights. Felt really good. Saw a friend there I hadn't seen in a long time and had a nice chat. thank goodness it was kind of sunny this afternoon as we had 2 days of torrential rain and fog. I shouldn't complain though when I see what the tornadoes did to the mid West! Wow! Very scary!
I have been feeling kind of tired and I think TOM is coming, but have been exercising anyway. Binged like crazy yesterday. (last night.) Chocolate ice cream, potato chips, Girl Scout thin mint cookies. And truly none of this was single servings! I did do 35 minutes of Wii Walk It Out yesterday, so 4 days in a row over 10k steps.
Down to 163 lbs today. (in spite of the binge!)
Found alcohol in David's room and an electronic cigarette. (Boy does that thing smell!) He is just totally shut down. I am really worried about depression with him. I will keep fighting and also keep praying.
I am really under the gun with work. got 4 new fires this week. 4 more just came in today in Philly! Crazy! So I am trying to juggle.
Thank goodness, NO plans for this weekend. Going to maybe get a little cleaning done and chill and watch a movie or something. Tomorrow: TGIF! I may be inspecting 3 fires tomorrow! ugh! And I was just starting to get a breather. 19 more days to Spring! Can't come soon enough for me. My crocuses are coming up. I am SO happy the days are getting longer. My word for tomorrow: Focus!

Great about the exercise and nice chat with a friend.
You are \'aware\', \'in tuned\' and \'proactive\'. You are going to see some good outcomes. Be gentle with yourself and fill your life up with with as much healing joy as possible. We eat to \'self sooth\' and, IT WORKS!!! Urrrrrg. A bowl of \'emergency fruit\' placed in the fridge to grab to snack on may advert the damaging binges - at least a bit. A banana and an orange are great. Even a bowl of mixed canned fruit can make a nice \'escape hatch\' to the binge. Just know that the binge is from real unmet needs in life and nothing to beat yourself up over. Just have some \'emergency foods\' at the ready when the fatigue and pain knock you for a loop. A banana can elevate your blood sugar just enough to allow you to make better food choices during the emergency binge.
A good weekend coming up and spring on the way - YAY!!!
((hugs))

loved reading - spring on the way - YAY!!! I am ready for that! I saw a daffodil peeking up about 3\" out of the snow yesterday! And the moles are gettng active already! Signs of spring!
hated reading - Found alcohol in David\'s room. Today, Friday you have meeting with school right? What are you expecting to come from that meeting/ Any help?
No meeting at school. Paul did the meeting last week. Even the teachers feel stuck. They are all trying to help but if David doesn\'t do the work, there is nothing anyone can do. he is suspended/home from school today due to the cigarettes and smoking at school earlier this week. He told the counselor yesterday that the more we push, the more he pushes back. Counselor says \"how\'s that working for you?\" Counselor feels meds need to be changed. Appt with psychiatrist isn\'t for another 2 weeks but Paul is trying to get that bumped up.
Good luck with David.
Wow you are busy at work. I hope you get threw your work with ease. It\'s hard to juggle so much.
Great job with getting back to the Y. 10,000steps 4 days that;\'s fabulous
163lbs. how wonderful. You are getting there.
I\'m trying to catch up to you
Hugs have a great weeknd relax.
How great that you got to the gym for the first time since Sept....How empowered you must have felt...YAY!!!!! sorry to hear about the on going troubles David is having. I hope Paul manages to get that psychiatrists meeting earlier, for all your sakes.
Could your TOM coming have caused the binge? Whatever has caused it, today is another day, so onward and upward.
