Getting By

I still want to talk more about what happened to me on the side of the road a couple weeks ago, but I don't think it's fair to this person's family right now to delve into too much detail. Work is going pretty well, despite my being probably at the absolute max of my stress level. I kind of lost it on one of my annoying coworkers last Sunday night. That being said, and I'm sure she's mad at me- she DID change her behavior for the rest of the night. I've only told a few people at work about what happened- and she isn't one of them. I kind of feel like I owe it to her to explain why I've been so on edge, but then again, I feel like she will blab to everyone. I can say, that this week has been very therapeutic.

First off, I went to the doctor to check on my low hemoglobin, which wasn't all that low there, so that's good. She just suggested taking some iron supplements and paying attention to how much iron I get in my diet. She sent off a few more labs that were supposed to be back this Friday, but I didn't' hear from her. Hopefully, no news is good news. At any rate, I saw a new doctor in the practice and she was amazing, a Godsend. She took the time to listen to me, which helped me to explain my source of stress as of late, and she offered several suggestions on how I can push through this stressful time, one of which I took up immediately, and I think it will help in my weight loss efforts and my overall feelings of vitality.

Secondly, I got to talk to the family of the person I tried to help. I was nervous (extremely) about getting in touch with them, but it has actually left me with some peaceful feelings about things. Of course, I am still upset and angry about the whole messed up situation, but being able to reach out to them and talk to them has helped tremendously. We are planning on meeting one another soon, and hopefully through them, I can get to know the person I tried to save.

I am sorry I can't talk about it in more detail, and one day I hope to, but right now it doesn't feel right. I can say that it has derailed my weight loss progress somewhat, but I now feel like I'm getting back on track. I think eating right, prayer and exercise are going to work wonders right now. I also have some catching up to do with my mom. She's been on WW for about 5 weeks now and has lost 13+ pounds! Go mom!!

I guess this week, my focus will be on mindset. One day at a time...
