Falling, failing

I have fallen. I can't remember why I signed up to have a trainer and someone advice me now what to eat. I don't remember why I thought I could do this. What was I thinking? Why can't I be happy here in this place? Happy here in the 200's. Why do I beat myself up for eating poorly and not working out yet not really celebrate the days I go to the gym? I will tell you I ate this and that and I went to the gym and you will praise me but I don't find me saying to myself good job, you got this. Certainly not as loudly as the voices in my head tell me what a failure I am when I don't eat well or work out. Why is that? Here I am exhausted. Worried. Stressed out and the answer is not to take care of myself not it's eat some cookies. Have a bed snack. Skip the gym. WTF? Now my summer vacation is about to be over and where am I? Beating myself up for not going to the gym every.damn.day. All I have are excuse. I am having such a hard time breaking this cycle. I am about to start a new job. A new schedule. The boys will be back in school and how am I gonna fit working out in then? I will have even MORE excuses. My indigestion is back in full force. No matter what I eat. I gotta sit here and figure this out. I gotta make these changes. I have slipped into a depression worrying about the boys and things they have going on. I am 45 years old and this area of my life I just can't seem to get right. I just can't seem to get it under control.

What will I do with the next 14000 days of my life? Continue to unhappily live in a size 18 pants that are too snug? My mind will say "hey lets go for a walk, or a swim" and I just don't seem to get out the door. What in the world is my problem? I am 45 years old. What is the second half of my life going to be like? Am I going to live with the 200's on the scale? Eating brownies and ice cream and candy?

So here's the thing. I am a size 18 or an XXL. I am done with it. Over it. I see cute things but they don't look cute on me or don't come in my size. Places I want to shop don't have my size. So what did I do today to get closer to this goal. I downloaded Myfitnesspal and logged most of what I ate. Nothing like half assing something right? That's how I got this whole ass by half assing way too many things. UGH!

sad day

I spent today with Dominic's grandmother and grandfather. They are both 97 years old have been married over 70 years. He has Alzheimer's and lives in the memory care unit and she has a one bedroom apt down the hall in an assisted living community. It's a great place such a caring staff and it's clean but it's not home. It's the best but it's not home. Grandpa is sad, scared and confused and misses his wife and probably most of his life. It left with a a lump in my heart. I vow to visit them as much as I can. It's hard to visit, it's hard to say good bye when you must go but I want to help make these last days of their lives filled with family and happiness and things to look forward to. I have an uncle that passed from Alzheimers so is it in my family? I don't know. What can I do to lower my risk? To know the signs? To help find a cure. We need better ways to help patients and I see so many similarities between my work with children with aut
