Hello! I’ve taken on a bit of.. what’s the word here.. insanity? Psycho Wonder Woman Wannabe? Dunno. At any rate, I’ll be away from the computer for about a month given the fact that we have 12 days notice to move (house sold) and pick up life again in another town. Weee!

In light of the stress at home, I’ve decided to focus on a few things I tend to forget when I’m stressed. I’m looking at obstacles and how to over come them. For example: When stressed I tend to 1. Not eat and then eat a bunch of bad for me food later. 2. Drink coffee and exist soley on sugar and caffeine and wonder why I’m gaining weight 3. Not work out. That pretty much sums it up. So, I have a fail safe method for being healthy AND surviving the next three weeks.

I’m going to plan my meals and pack the day before so it’s easy to grab and eat on the go. Water is a must. I’ll also MAKE myself go to bed at night so I can get up refreshed and start packing/moving/grading finals/running after toddler in the morning. So far I’ve done ok. Lost a pound last week and bypassed a small mental breakdown.

I’ll ask you, what are your obstacles and how are you going to overcome them? Planning ahead is key. If you already know when you tend to get off track and have a fail safe in place, you’re more likely to keep on keepin’ on. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself.
