Stressed out -

[kyburg]

That's been this week. I've got a cranky boss who has been pressing all my buttons, an increasing workload, taxes due this week (and I always end up paying, that's why I wait to the last minute) and a very lean pay period. If I couldn't tell by my mood (which has been abysmal this week), I can certainly tell by the scale.

I'm supposed to be hovering right around my goal weight on maintenance - what I've done is continue to lose weight. You might think this is good - except I was the one who was 95 lbs at this height at one time.

Currently, I'm now at a new low, near 130 lbs. I should be about 135 - I have a Tanita digital scale, which can see changes of less than half a pound. While I was losing, I would jump on every day to check my work - and learned a lot that way.

I've already added the sake, ice cream and chocolate.

This is a whole lot more like my teens and twenties than I need the reminder for. Comparatively, this isn't a lot of weight (but I remember how long it took to get the last five pounds off while I was losing, and it seemed a whole lot longer than two weeks) - but it's another button getting pushed.

I have a weigh in on Sunday - we'll see if they have anything to say about it. I think it's also time I addressed some of the mood issues as well. There are things leftover from that botch of a therapy cycle DCFS made us do that need attention - now that all the paperwork is in, perhaps I could go get it taken care of on the quiet.

I'd like a weekend now, kplz thx bye whatever.

Hopefully not together. Ice cream and chocolate can coexist nicely, but I'm doubtful on the sake. ;)

Stress and losing weight, I'm right there with you. {{hugs}} Is it a Scorpio thing going on?

Here's hoping both our lives decide to be good to us, our stress levels abate, and our weights level off. {{hugs}}

If I could put some in a box....

I like cold sake - and I have a lot of favorites, so I rarely get the big bottles. The cold sakes I like tend to be ginjo sakes - and crisp-cold, they are the BOMB with chocolate.

They also can knock you on your butt with little effort. Ever had plum wine?

Sake and chocolate? I did not know that. So I learned something new today. Thank you.

No, I've never had plum wine, but I am willing to bet I would like it a lot.

It's like drinking candy with 100% proof punch. If you've had mead, it's like that in that it's that sweet....but smooooooth.

I know what you mean, despite the lack of my normative prolific whining (at least by comparison to my usual amounts), things have been rather rough of late. I honestly can't say what it is, but I really don't know ANYONE who's having a good April this year. Here's hoping we can all just grit our teeth and bear it for another few weeks, maybe things will turn around with the advent of summer.
