Journaling




First off, I am still struggling. This time of year I always get depressed. I am pretty sure it's seasonal. But, when I get in this funk,I can't seem to pull out of it. I am still bummed about not being able to walk, and it has effected me in more ways than I could have imagined. I don't want the sympathy, and I am tired of being the " woe is it unto me" gal. Something in me is not being motivated, and I want to scream!
I saw a slide show of some pictures of me this last summer at a youth party with my oldest daughter yesterday. I started to cry. It was not me, but it was.

Barb asked about journaling. I have been horrible the last 2 weeks doing it. Basically, for me it is being accountable on paper for everything I put into my mouth. Even the bad stuff, I write down. It makes a huge difference with changing bad habit when you see it on paper, in black and white. I suggest trying it for a week. It is also great to have reference for following weeks to see what meals and snacks worked.

So, Here I am. It's been hard not having internet except for my blackberry application for facebook. I am going to try and do better, I promise.

Your doing fine Christi, you have a lot of circumstance against you right now, but this will pass just like winter into spring, and before you know it things will look so much better. Lean on those close to you, that is what we live for, to be needed by someone else! We love you and will be there no matter

I am so sorry you can't walk that would definitely make staying motivated a challenge. Do you have timeline for when you will be able to again? Is your cast off now?
This time of year is definitely a bit of a downer... but spring is right around the corner :)
