I had a stressful week. I went away three times in the past month. At the beginning of the week, the goal was to get caught up. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes at Beautiful Makeup Search. I get over a hundred emails a day - sometimes many more. (As of right now, I still have over 400 unread emails.) I need to open boxes, sort products, photograph products and try products. I have to edit the pictures and finally write about the products. I have a pile here yet to even be opened. And I need to talk to you guys! I have neglected social media. I am behind. It stresses me out.
Then things got worse.
We had a pretty big leak in our home. We thought we could dry out walls and carpet, but the carpet was just too soaked and it began to smell. Ugh. So we are tearing things up and putting in new floors. This is definitely not what I didn't want to be doing these last few weeks of summer.
On top of that, the most terrifying thing happened. My mom had a trip to the emergency room. She seemed to be okay and I thought things were under control. 36 hours later, she had to go back. You know that phone call when you know something is wrong? I was scared out of my mind when she called me because I could hear it in her voice. This time she was admitted.
Needless to say, things have been hectic and like I said, stressful. Do you ever feel like you have weeks and weeks of just one thing after another - nothing ever going right? That has been my life since June!

Over the week, I have not kept to my Nutrisystem plan. Both my eating and exercise suffered. I only got in two long walks. I missed meals and planned healthy snacks that usually keep my fueled throughout the day. I didn't drink all the water that I needed to. I was not prepared. I had run out of meal bars that are normally something great to depend on in situations like this. I finally placed an order and will be keeping a few in my purse from now in, just in case. Eating healthy at the hospital cafeteria was not an option. You would think it is the healthiest place to eat, but it is not.
Learning to stay on track while having stress is something I am going to have to learn. I know it is not the end of the world. Every day is a new day and while not on track, I know I didn't over eat. So there is that! I just didn't stick to the plan. Even with the week not going my way, I reluctantly got on the scale. This week I lost 1/2 pound for a total weight loss of -8 pounds so far. I guess it goes to show that eating less does not equal more weight loss. There are a correct number of foods to eat and calories that must be consumed in order to be successful. I am hoping to do better next week and hit my one month goal of losing ten pounds. Wish me luck!
