HYC: Week 9

I'm still not feeling 100%.  In fact, not 12 hours after taking the last dose of the script, I had a couple of episodes painful enough for me to wonder if the stupid cyst had burst.  I'll be very happy to talk to my doctor on Thursday to see if I can get a clearer idea of what's going on.  That being said, I feel absofreakinglutely AWFUL about slacking off.  Yet again, I had great intentions of starting the Tae Bo again yesterday, but after the pain attacks (seriously -- they were scary enough that I panicked realizing I was a) alone in the office and b) had no idea where the closest hospital was), I figured I'd better take it semi-easy, so I used the Wii Fit after work.  Unfortunately, I'm up 1.1 lbs, but that's to be expected, considering I don't think I've done Tae Bo in a month (I don't think I've done it since I got sick right before Grandpa's funeral, which was the beginning of October).  Add to that the comfort eating from stress and being ill, and I'm probably lucky it was ONLY 1.1 lbs!  I didn't measure last night, but I will tonight.

I started out strong again yesterday, with my 10 glasses of water, work out, moisturizing, & flossing, but dropped the ball on the evening snacking.  In the interest of getting back on track, my only goal this week is to be active five times.  I know it's small (and SO unlike my normally lofty goals! lol), but it's what feels comfortable right now.  I need to get back on track because I had a light-bulb moment last week when I realized that I haven't had anywhere NEAR the negative self-talk about myself/my body since I started making an effort to be active.  I don't want to lose that and backslide, because the fall-out is so detrimental.  I still feel like I'm calling it with the Wii Fit, but at least it's SOMETHING (as opposed to sitting on the couch and *hearing* my ass spread).  I'm very hopeful that I can pick up the Tae Bo again next week.  Onwards and upwards, right?  :)
