Excuse my rambling, my real life friend list is kinda short and I just needed a safe place to let some things out

Unlike many when I'm emotional I have a hard time working up an appetite. I can't even force myself to eat which is why I still rely heavily on liquid calories/protein drinks.

Having some financial issues which is putting stress on my marriage. Nothing we won't work through.

Fortunately I am gainfully employed and have been able to work lots of OT. I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am physically healthy and mentally in tact

Going to try to eat a nice juicy steak & some shrimp.... Well about as much as my pouch will let me, which isn't a lot... Then go to gym and work off some of this stress with some barbells then come home and take a long hot bath followed by a glass of wine...

Hopefully will sleep well because I have an early group run session tomorrow

The bills will still come in regularly. The kids will still drive me crazy. The world will not fall off its axis if I go loco so I may as well live to the best of my ability for today. I'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here knowing I have a game plan and more than a mustard seed of faith

I'm up about 3 pounds which is well within my comfort zone. I'm in maintenance and not going to try to eat at deficit to combat it. Wish those pounds would keep me warmer though, my heating bills would appreciate some relief

Wonderful attitude!

"This, too, shall pass..."

Sending a great big ole' E-hug your way.

what's a heating bill?

I think your doing just fine................I think that you are experiencing the woes of real life....I think you deserve the right to rant. I feel it was my privilege to read it and admire your will and strength....

Once you hit that gym.........Work it off!!! You will feel better kid! Well at least that is what everyone tells me.....

Here's to endorphins! Thanks for giving me the energy to sweat some myself this evening! Feel better, friend.

Sometimes life hits us a little harder than we'd like, doesn't it? Sounds like you have an amazing attitude about it, though!
And I hear you on the heating bills ... This winter has been BRUTAL so far!!
