I don't think I lost this week. This has been a stressful few days. I am struggling with my class. I am expected to turn in the first 9 pages of a research plan, but I am having a difficult time getting started picking the topic to do. It has to be something I can actually research later on in the program.
And then there is family drama. I have been renting out my dad's old house. Its the house I grew up in. I don't know why I am trying to hold on to it. He's ready to let it go, I should be too. I decided to let my nephew rent it with his friends and other assorted roommates. The problem is that they are all young. When there were 4 people it was fine. Now there are only three. That only leaves enough money to pay my dad the mortgage and I'm stuck with the utilities. I'm done with it. I told my dad to look into what he needs to do to give it back to the bank. I told the kids living there to start looking for somewhere to move. I am in the hole about $1600. Its only about a grand when my nephew pays his back due rent and the one tenant pays me for January - which she promises she'll have on the 25th. Sigh. I'm done.
Its also not helping my weight loss efforts. I have been making poor choices this week. The reese's peanut butter cups at the grocery store, the huge bowl of cereal when I got home. The ice cream I had before bed. I know when I show a gain this week, it will be because of the stress. Most of the week I have made good choices.
I did make my goal of eating fruit with my breakfast 5 of the 7 days this week. That's at least one good thing.
This week's goal. Eat fruit with my breakfast 5 out of 7 days AND eat a veggie with my lunch 4 out of 7 days.
UPDATE: Back from weigh in. My stress only cost me 1.2 lbs.
