Health Group- Year 2, week 29

Happy Christmas Eve! We are supposed to be at my mother-in-law’s right now, watching the girls participate in a live reenactment of the nativity, but Veronica threw up in an ice cream shop this afternoon, so Nate and the girls are at the in-laws and V and I are home. I honestly don’t mind the quiet evening. She’s going to open a couple presents in a few minutes, thus compensating her for not being able to play with her cousins, and I’m going to stuff the stockings early and go to bed. I’m tired.

Hopefully, she’ll sleep it off tonight, and tomorrow will continue as planned.

This week, shocker, I didn’t do much in the way of maintaining or improving my health. I’ve been eating Christmas Crap, and I can tell. I’m tired all the time, and my heart is bothering me again. So, I am looking forward to getting back to my regular, holiday-free life and schedule.

I did manage to do some physical therapy. As the tummy is getting bigger, and I feel the “pregnant waddle” nearing, I am ever more concerned for my back. I’m seeing more and more physical therapy activity in my future. And that’s a good thing.

And if it feels like I’m stringing Health Group along ’til the new year, I am. But I’m still here, maintaining the habit, and that’s important to me.

Any of you doing well? Tell me about it.

    Keep stringing along; we don’t mind marking time with you.

    I got on the scale yesteday and I was 5 pounds heavier than my heaviest weight EVER. The sad thing is that my husband gave me a wedding band for our anniversary today (I haven’t had one for years) and my normal ring size barely fit. I must get back on the wagon!

    Sorry about your back (and V). 🙁
    What kind of physical therapy do you do?
    I have back challenges as well, so am always curious what other people do for theirs.
    I started doing yoga about a year ago, and that has done wonders for me, but I still have bad days.

    Merry Christmas!

    Hey La!
    I know it seems like you’re stringing Health Group along, but please don’t look at it that way! This is very important and I want you to know how much it means to me to have this support group. I have been very, very bad the past little (Ok, not so little) while and have gained back 8 pounds of the 40 I had lost. I need to start eating right, drinking water and exercising and just get back into that healthy frame of mind and realm of life.

    I LOVE HEALTH GROUP!!!
