So I'm not an overly political person - sometimes it feels like a blessing but sometimes I do wish I was more well-versed. Those who know me, know that I don't like conflict at all. Even still, the stress of this election, compounded with the stress of COVID, the state of our country -- it's got nearly everyone on edge. For someone with anxiety, it's even more.
It seems like an excuse to say all this has led me to not be on track, but I do think it plays into it some. Of course I have my own confidence issues and other things too that compound, but just the tensions and doom and gloom within the country right now do elevate stress levels and distract from being able to focus on bettering myself. (The giant bowl of Halloween candy doesn't help either if I'm being honest -- probably time to move that downstairs LOL)
I did enjoy making some soups the past couple days. I made this butternut squash soup -- which wound up being a bit spicy. Good for the metabolism right?? But it was so yummy. I also made some homemade chicken noodle soup. Makes me think of good times with my grandma and grandpa! I'm going to have some of that today. And hey, maybe I won't have any candy - that'd be a plus :) Just need to work on some healthier recipes and not grabbing food out or snacking on junk. I've got cantaloupe cut up and ready to go today. Still gotta figure out dinner, but I'll have the chicken noodle soup for lunch.
I've got my bracelet on and ready for the day! Not promising, but going to try to get myself to work out today. I haven't weighed for a while....tomorrow is technically my weigh in day for WW, so I'll step on and see where I am. Basically, I've just been giving my $12ish a month away for WW. Gonna work on improving that. Reminding myself that just because it's not tracked, doesn't mean it doesn't count and won't show up on the scale.
We'll all see what happens with this election soon, but hopefully as official news is given, the stress level will deescalate and we'll start moving in the direction of peace. Sorry this is starting out to be a crappy blog...It'll get better (hopefully) -- at least it's real [LOL] Not all rainbows and weight loss here!
xoxo
