A little bit lighter.. a little bit brighter.

By lighter.. I certainly do not mean my weight, that has sky rocketed. Yay me.. not. I am talking about my mood. I seem to be in a bit of a brighter lighter place. I think I see a light at the end of the darkness... it could be a train.. but for now we are just going to go towards the light.

I have actually gotten out of the house every day this week, even Saturday if you count the trip to the ER (bad reaction to a new med all is fine) but that actually means I managed to:
1. Get out of bed.
2. Work because yes I still work
3. Get dressed.. getting out of jammies is not easy.
4. Did not move directly from work to recliner, sofa, bed..
5. Actually got in my vehicle and went and did things with people.
6. One day ran 7 miles (I haven't run since I really hate running.
7. I have been to the gym and lifted weights twice and plan on going again tonight (even though my body is revolting)
8. I went to dinner and a movie.

The bottom line is I am doing things. I am not just breathing which was all I could do for awhile. Now I guess the next thing is to see about cleaning this house.. GOOD GRIEF. It may take me a year to just get it back to normal, but one thing at a time I suppose. It may also take me getting some help around here which isn't handed out lightly... you kinda have to BEG for it then wait them you because they are going to try to wait you out. There is so much that NEEDS to be done and no one seems to be doing any of it. (I get panicked just thinking about it.. derailed again and that is how quick my mind can go back down the rabbit hole)

I know if I have said it once I have said it 37 times sleep is an issue with me. I have a hard time getting to sleep, I have a hard time staying asleep, and it seems my best sleeps are between 3 and 6. Which really kinda stinks because in order to do bootcamp I have to be up by 430. I tried that for awhile. I ended up a complete zombie. I am hoping that come Bootcamp Plus time (because yes my ass is super Plus size) I will figure it all out and manage to get to sleep before 3 am. See that me up there in that picture.. I want some of her back. She thought she was incredibly fat... I KNOW I am. DAMN IT.. BRIGHT LIGHT BRIGHT LIGHT..

Anyway I was TRYING to say I thought I was doing better but after writing this maybe not. Guess the only thing to do is keep trying.

I have absolutely no idea what I was even trying to say here so if you are confused.. don't worry.. It's me not you.

Edit: as I was writing the email to send this out this came out and it makes so much sense
"I have zero clue where I was even going with my post today I ended up so derailed.
Which is probably a lot of what keeps me rooted in this rabbit hole. I can't look at just one little thing that is right without all the other things crowding in..
Hope everyone is having a good day.. Please send a maid, a laundress, a gardener, a cook (so I will stop eating everything in sight)"

My Friend, I disagree with something you said. You said "I was TRYING to say I thought I was doing better but after writing this maybe not. " ...this is completely wrong. You have now met us a few times at the gym and I can see a difference in the way you act. You may show up with a frown, but when you leave you have a smile. Just today you are asking my better half what we are doing today. This alone tells me you are looking forward to getting up and doing something.

You see, I was right. A simple workout will help the brain and the body. You are proof! Now let's see where we are in six weeks. Yes I said six weeks, because that is what it takes to start noticing a change in the body. But for now the mind is becoming clearer.

Hugs to you and I look forward to seeing you tonight. BTW, go by a small book to track your workouts!

Each step forward counts not matter where you started. Good for you! Don't torture yourself with questioning if it is a train coming, enjoy the light. It is now and that is all that matters. Be here now. Come on in, the water is nice. ;) If it is cold and sucky another day that doesn't take away today's goodness. In fact, today's goodness can make any future not so goodness be a bit more tolerable.
