Hump Day and ME Time

Another rollercoaster of a week.

True story:
Monday Jack met a family.  Turns out the family is crazy.  No adoption happening to crazy.
The End.

This put me in a funk.  Ugh.

Monday and Tuesday were a "dramatic" days.  Why do I always want to eat when I'm stressed?!?!  I ate okay, but way too much Monday night.  Where have I heard that before LOL?!?!

I FORCED myself to boxing class Tuesday morning and it felt good.  Punch that stress - not a bad outlet.

Then I tried to consciously feel the feels and not eat them (per my podcast listening and what every single emotional eating expert says - heard it 100s of times, but never did it).  I excepted that I felt bummed, upset, angry, disappointed, etc.  Maybe that's a start?? Who knows, but it worked yesterday.  I didn't overeat, but I was ALL those feelings ALL day long - not fun.  Is that a win?  Perhaps.

It was a productive day though and I got through a bunch of ugly to-do list stuff that was hanging over my head.  Onward and upward.

Today is a massage and SNS nails.  Double "fun" today.  I hate to crate Jack both times, but my Duke is being a snot to him (adding to my stress).  I need to get out of my head and ENJOY these things today.  That's the point.

I'm back to needing a catch up day (i.e. someone to be with the dogs) so I can run a bunch of little errands that are piling up.  Nothing is long, but they are all in different areas so it will take some time.   I counted on Jack getting adopted yesterday and that freed me up for the week.  Kiss of death - expectations!  Now it's stressing me to try to work this stuff into my week.  I'm babysitting the grand-dogs this weekend so I have to get this stuff done by then.  I can feel my heart rate up just thinking about it.  And 5 dogs all weekend!!!

I super duper need a break from having 3 difficult dogs at our house.  We finally made the decision to have a bit of a break from fostering and now we can't get our foster adopted! UGH.

Okay - sorry for the complaining.  I'm working on getting MY tanks filled and just when I make a little progress, I take steps backwards.  I think I need a podcast this morning!  Later gators!
