Guest guest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Indy, I really commend you for all that you do for your mom, I honestly don't think I could do it. You are a wonderful and patient person. Some offices are just loaded w/ food - in my office we usually get donoughts in several times a week. I just don't eat it - I know people think I'm strange, but so be it! :)I hope things smooth out for you soon. I think you are doing great managing to get your workouts in and avoiding stress weight gain. Donna Subject: Ups and downs in JuneTo: exercisevideos Date: Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 11:00 PM My workouts have been very erratic this summer, mainly due to a compressed time table at home. Now that I need to put my Mom to bed every evening, it really cuts into my after-work time. I have pretty well kept up, and since I haven't gained any stress weight, then I doubt if I'm going to. It hasn't been easy!My new job is starting to smooth out a bit. It's quite a bit higher stress than what I've worked at before, but the pay is good. One of the worse things about the new office is that people bring in all sorts of goodies, all the time!! Someone brought in a large cake today. Last week there was ice-cream cake (for the president's birthday) and someone made homemade cinnamon rolls! What's with all this junk food??There are some really heavy people in the office, too. Our team (tech writers) is a rather thin group in comparison. Even so, one member just got promoted to QA, and bought a pizza lunch for everyone. I usually have just salad for lunch. Food everywhere! Anyway, I'm glad I'm still getting 3-4 workouts in per week, and I am still maintaining my weight. Someday soon I need to shed those last 15 pounds that I want to get rid of! I'm hoping my skin will eventually tighten up from what I've lost so far. It dangles and sags now. :-PI need to work on Turbo Fire a lot more!Indyrose,working on the 4th due to lack of vacation time yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
