I am not sure if you weight train at all but if not, consider adding it to your regime. Build some muscle to help with your metabolism. <br /><br />Also - you are an inspiration for how far you have come. Just keep on going and you will cross your finish line.<br /><br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102047673637646869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-46085244261396862102009-05-10T11:24:00.000-04:002009-05-10T11:24:00.000-04:00Stress is always a factor in weight loss and gain....Stress is always a factor in weight loss and gain.

I know how difficult it is. When Tabatha first left home, she climbed on a bus and headed across country to Virgina....and as Jinx said....for a boy. Just thinking about standing there watching her get on the bus....oh man. She was 18. And when she got there and called to say what a mistake she made....to be too far away to give her a hug while she cried....makes me tear up just thinking about it. I didn't get to see her again for months. You are so lucky that your daughter is still close enough to meet for lunch or share a movie with or whatever. So as difficult as it is, try to look at the blessings of how much MORE difficult it could be! <br />The work stuff sounds all too familiar...do more with less and in less time. Working for a school district with cutbacks brings similar situation. My deadlines are different than yours, and yours sound excruciatingly painful! But you wouldn't be in the job if you couldn't handle it....and you can, obviously, because you have.<br />I'm sorry you have had such a stressful week, wish I was there to give you a hug. But you are one of the strongest women I know, and I have so much faith and admiration for you. You WILL not only survive, you WILL overcome.<br />Love you!Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666890126851920510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-40554417331412715052009-05-09T16:43:00.000-04:002009-05-09T16:43:00.000-04:00Cara,

Sweety my daughter moved out when she was 18 and went halfway across the country to Califorina following a guy! I promise you life does go on. Trust me it will all work out. We raise them so they CAN leave home. :) Soon you'll realize she's out there living her life and you have a life to live too. <br /> We know better than to freak out over the scale. Betcha next week is tons better!

Stay on plan, go for one of your lovely jogs and reflect on the week and the stressors and leave them on the road. I've had friends really struggle when their children left home. They seriously had melt downs. I'm sure this is what you're feeling. Hang in there.~closed~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07004956732951108828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-2660723319514430962009-05-09T14:24:00.000-04:002009-05-09T14:24:00.000-04:00Maybe it's me but I find it hard to believe that y...Maybe it's me but I find it hard to believe that you were right in line with your eating and put on 4.8. I hate to sounds mean an cruel and that is not my intention but some times we truly have to look at what we are putting in our mouths. I have lost over a hundred pounds and have been through the peaks and valleys of weight loss I do know for what I speak because I have lived it. <br />Every uncounted bite of this or that adds up. Please really reflect back on your week. What have you done different this week than past weeks. Go to past week that you have been very successful and see what you did differently. <br />This is a very difficult journey but one that can be won.<br />I hope for the very best for you and I only come from a place of love and support.<br />All the best to you,<br /><br />KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265047536514759714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-13356730757563477302009-05-09T12:38:00.000-04:002009-05-09T12:38:00.000-04:00Here's what you do . . . give yourself a bit of ti...Here's what you do . . . give yourself a bit of time to have a melt down, then stand back up, dust off your knees, and keep on doing what you know you need to do. This is an important lessons you need to learn during the maintenance phase (AKA the rest of your life). There will be peaks and valleys. We just have to ride them out and resist the urge to give up. It will be fine. Repeat after me . . . "it will be fine"!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949942209284867717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-27117617173240393202009-05-09T11:00:00.000-04:002009-05-09T11:00:00.000-04:00Oh Cara, what a week you've had!

It may help you put so many of your worries in perspective; I know it does for me.<br /><br />I know how hard it is when a child moves out. It's an entirely new life, for both her and you and your husband! It will all be ok.<br /><br />Hang in there - hope your stress abates and those nasty pounds disappear quickly!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.com
