Day 7

So I weighed in this morning and am at 194.5 . Its a gain, but not a bad one. I actually kept to my plan this weekend. In fact, I was so stressed out I hardly ate at all... or drank any water.

With all the stress hitting me yesterday I decided it would be better if I stayed busy all day. I painted my entire living room, restored an old spruce fireplace mantle and cleaned every nook and cranny. The room looks beautiful now... and my arms are killing me!

Part of my stress will hopefully be relieved today. I have my yearly check up with my doctor. It terrifies me that he will find another tumor. When he found the first tumor I was feeling healthy, had no problems and was totally blindsided. I think it makes every doctor visit that much worse because I feel healthy, have no problems and am terrified of being blindsided again.

My appointment is at 9:50 am... please say a little prayer for me.

Today's plan is a little off because I will be in town all day. Food will hopefully be smart choices and nothing but water. I have another Tang Soo Do class tonight.

Thanks for following me guys... it means a lot to me.

Praying for you, TL. Boy, I didn't know you had a tumor before.

Wish I didn't eat when I was stressed out. Maybe someday...
