Working My Way Up From the Valley

So two weeks ago, I was following Weight Watchers like a person possessed. I worked out everyday, logged all of my food, and completed a challenge that my friend Diana had thrown down for me.....and I lost 5.6 pounds at weigh-in! It felt fabulous! Right on track for the new year.

Two days later, my 92 year-old grandmother moved in with us. Once again, I used a change in my routine as an excuse to not do what I should be doing for MY health. I haven't logged my food, I haven't exercised in ten days, and I skipped my WW meeting so I could get her ready in time for an event we were attending. I put others in front of myself...again.

Now, I don't blame anyone for this. I made the decision to have her move in here. I WANT her to be here. I'm just not doing too well prioritizing MY health. My grandma has just turned into the latest excuse I am using to sabotage myself, again, in my weight loss efforts.

How do I get past the mental block I have? How do I break this addiction to food? How do I get myself to enjoy exercise? I'm still working all that out. I guess for now, I will ask God for guidance and take it one day at a time...and have a healthy salad for lunch.
