Good Morning and Happy Friday!
Between work, overtime shifts, Weight Watcher workshops, and my commitments at the Nampa Elks Lodge #1389, it is going to be a very long stretch of 11-days, all packed to the gills. The 12th day my much needed vacation starts.
I am stressed. I am rundown and exhausted. I am burnt out and my mental health has taken a hit. I made and appointment with a therapist next week so I can talk through some of what has been making me feel super emotional with the plan to get some coping strategies.
In the meantime, I’m doing my best to try and keep my head above water when it comes to my WW program.
I gained a little last week, which I had known that week wasn’t as successful as the prior one. It has made me feel anxious about the time I have left before vacation. I’ve practically tuned into a drill sergeant with my food. I’m trying to work on balance as all this stressing about is making me feel hangry.
Turning 45, I suspect I am not feeling any different than other women my age and this is only the start. I hope to get back into better balance where I can start to regain control of my anxiety. I honestly can’t tell sometimes if I’m just feeling a little depressed.
Mental Health is important. Put your oxygen mask on first. Here is a cute photo a friend took of us at a winery event birthday party last weekend.
