Well, last week was crazy. It started with a cold, which turned into a migraine, which turned into an eating frenzy. Actually several things attributed to me falling completely off the wagon. After I posted last week I got a call from a good friend who informed me that one of my friends and co-workers had passed away unexpectedly. Patti, age 72, was not only my co-worker but a friend and a person I admired for her loving personality. Patti had a great life and she touched so many lives, but it is always hard to see someone with such spunk and life just leave us. Services were held on Friday and I needed that time to gather my thoughts.
After the service on Friday afternoon I received a call from my sister. She was calling to ask me if I could pick up Rosie from daycare. I never turn down an offer like this but I could tell by her voice that something more was going on. Apparently my grandfather had called her asking if she could take him to the hospital, he was having chest pains and shortness of breath. My grandfather had a heart attack a few years ago and had 6-bypass surgery. My heart fell to my stomach and for 3 hours my family played the waiting game. Finally at 6 o'clock on Friday night my sister called and he was being released. The x-rays and blood tests showed no signs of a heart attack. He is going in for more tests today and hopefully we will know more soon.
The rest of the weekend was about staying positive, keeping busy and taking it easy. We ate out A LOT! I didn't track points, I know I ate way too much including Chinese, Mexican and potato chips. I also drank about 6-7 beers. We did get out for a 2 hour walk on Saturday.
I know I need to get back OP, I need to catch up with my pal gym and I need to take care of myself.
I need some motivation, I need some pure harassment to get my butt back in gear!
