I thought I'd cut myself some slack this week. My uncle died Saturday morning. He was sick, but it was still sad. My aunt is a dear dear woman and I feel for her and my cousins. THEN Monday morning my Grandmother's health began a rapid deterioration to the point today where all of my aunts, uncle, cousins are holding 24 hour vigil, waiting for her imminent death. I've been to see her twice. She's bedridden, has lost a lot of weight, but still has that smile of recognition, which is all that I needed. She's 87; and she's lived a good life, but I suppose it doesn't matter how old you are if you are someones mother. I am sad for my mom.
SO - Diet, Exercise? Part of me wanted to say SCREW to that this week, with everything so crazy - BUT then I thought - Do I ever have a NORMAL week? The odds of someone getting sick, a car breaking down, an unexpected visitor... Nothing is ever the same. I need to stop giving myself permission to throw up my arms to my health every time something goes against the plan. If I want to get to my goal, I need to work towards it and continue to do so regardless of what life throws at me.
I will weigh in tomorrow so you know I am keeping to my plan and not just paying lip service. I can run at the back of the pack, but I will NOT be the fat one this summer!!!
