Life is kicking my ass right now, but I've still lost 100 pounds.
After a doctor's visit last week I requested a history of my weigh-ins and found out my highest official weight was 466 pounds, instead of the 459 I had originally thought. This was great news, as I was now at the 100 lbs lost mark!
However, after that day I developed a bit of tennis elbow which stopped me from lifting weights, not big deal I could still walk, right? Wrong. Can't remember if it was the day after or two, but I decided to walk a different route and didn't realize the sidewalk was thinning, and rolled my ankle on the curb. Without being able to do much of any exercise I was not in the best of moods.
Then life decides to slap me in the face. Last Sunday my mother was admitted to the hospital with a small bowel obstruction. Now due to surgery complications she has been in the ICU for a few days an is slipping into ICU Delirium. This has got me all kinds of messed up. This bit of good news and accomplishment has now been shrouded in Anxiety and Stress. I have eaten like absolute shit the past week and just cracked and got a pack of cigarettes.
I'm not in a good place mentally right now, but unlike the other times I have derailed, I'm not worried about whether or not I can get back on the Wagon. I absolutely know I can. The last year of improvement have not been for nothing, and as soon as this stress dies down I am certain I can hop back on track and get my ass to under 300 pounds by the end of the year like I planned.
Sorry if this is a bit of a rant, just needed to vent a bit.
