Struggling a bit

[jay]

Thanks for your collective support yesterday :-). I went home and crashed after dinner, sleeping 10 hours. Leaving the dishes undone, sigh. Two of three relationships have felt shaky over the past week, and I've been struggling to not obsess or lose focus altogether.

It doesn't help that I'm also dealing with weight issues -- over the past three trips, I've gained 11 lbs. Lack of exercise and too much travel have been prime culprits. But (body image) just looking at myself is depressing... my clothes are tight, and I'm now 23 lbs over my actuarial ideal weight. And (health) my blood pressure, which closely tracks my weight, is up to its highest level ever -- 140/95. I have a lot of work to do.

This morning... 7:30am and I've already had my first call from JL, and I'm busy working from home.

This discussion seeded thoughts that eventually wound up in several insights in yesterday's entry. You know, I really ought to be paying you for coaching! Or giving you some reward ;^).

This week I exercised 4/5 days, came home at reasonable hours, lost 3 lbs and tried to work after-hours. Okay, except that thanks to jetlag, I kept dozing-off... I've gotten more sleep this past week than in any other at home in months.

Lunches... don't cut into time with Pat and the boys. They may cut into work-time, but I generally make it up otherwise. I would rather work between midnight and 2am than not have lunch with you :-).

I don't envy your issues with Allegra, though... there are the time issues, sure, but then the behavioral ones. Which will probably require some form of professional help, and hence more paperwork, appointments, home exercises... sigh. (hugs)
