Is it really Wednesday again already?

Where have I been?  Well right here really.  Started a little challenge with a few folks and it seems I'm side tracked but in a good way.  I'm not much of a challenge person and I'm not always good with the rules.  But this time it's pretty easy.  I'm using myfitnesspal and logging my food and letting others see what I'm eating and so far it's doing wonders for me and my weight is down 4 lbs this week.  So yep, accountability is the real deal and definitely works.  I think getting to the gym 5 out of 7 days hasn't hurt me either. 

So here I am and I'm actually feeling good.  The anxiety is still high as heck lately but I'm doing my best to deal with it and I think Mike hit on something when he said that being out of my normal exercise routine was probably what was causing the flare up in addition to the cottage still not rented. 

I'm trying not to stressed over the cottage empty but it is the biggest thing on my mind lately.  The past 2 times it took about 3 months to get it rented so I'm trying to look at it's only been a little over 2 weeks since we put the ad up so I need to take some deep breaths and relax.  With Thanksgiving and then Christmas coming up it's definitely not a good time to be looking for a renter either so if someone doesn't come along before the new year I just have to be ok with that, what other choice do I have.  Financially we'll get by, we always do.

Tonight is TOPS and this morning I saw 179.5 on the scale so if I can stay within a few lbs of that I will be back in my leeway.  I SOOOO want to be back in leeway.  I think that will be a big weight off me too. 

I've started doing my yearly area captain TOPS visits to my local chapters.  I did the first one last night.  It was on super foods and I felt like it went well.  I'm looking forward to seeing the folks that I haven't seen in a long time.  Going to the different chapters helps to make me realize I am still a success even if at times I'm not feeling like one.  Having kept my weight off for 2 yrs now is definitely success.  Hopefully as more time goes on it will become easier too. 

So only 2 short weeks till Thanksgiving and we hit the road for Kentucky.  I'm looking forward to going and seeing Mike's family.  I'm also looking forward to my morning walks there.  It's such a beautiful place.  Hard to believe how fast this year has went by it will be Christmas and then New Years in the blink of an eye.

I don't feel like I have much to talk about today.  Just thought I better post before anyone got worried about me that I had falling into a hole or something.  Even though we don't have much daylight now I'm thankfully not in a hole :)

Till next time...
