Just going through the motions!

Thank you so much everyone on twitter for all your support! For those that don't know a good friend of ours died yesterday from suicide. It was a shock I never want to go through again. I am still grieving.

So today's goal was just to do what I know I need to do for me. I've been drinking my water and staying on plan. Kind of going through the motions that I need to do.

I thought I'd skip my second walk/run workout today because I had a good reason to, but then I thought NO this is exactly what I need to do today.

I really didn't think I could do this workout, but I was angry and the anger was just the fuel I needed to finish it. I know Andrew would be pleased with me. Rest in peace my friend.

As far as this blog goes I've decided that if I want to add pic's some days I will and other days when life gets crazy I'll give myself a pass. (didn't take my camera with me today and came head to head with a deer)

I've also decided that I need to get with the program. I need to do exactly what I know I need to do to lose weight and be healthier.

I will journal my food whether it's with points or calories and I'll journal my exercise. Hope you don't get too bored.

protein waffles with blueberry sauce
iced coffee with evaporated skim milk

carrot chips
curried coconut tofu
1/2 banana, 1/2 scoop whey protein, 1/3c pineapple,1c almond breeze, ice, water

1 slice pepperoni pizza
broccoli
glass of wine

Total calories: 1232 (remember I'm only 5'0" so between 1200 and 1300 calories is good for me)

Yes I'm having pizza and wine. I planned for it and it fits within my calorie count :)

Sorry, the pictures caught my eye before the text.

I have lost two friends from suicide and it's never easy. The best and ONLY thing you should really be doing right now, is anything & everything you can to keep your mind off things. Death is never easy. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know anyone close to me that died of suicide but I know my dad does and he never got over it (close relative). He still thinks he could have made a difference and I try to pep talk him.

Oh Suzi, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss - I can't imagine what a shock it must have been...My thoughts are with you - perhaps your walks might help, just to get your body moving and relieve some sadness.

Take care, and hang in there, my friend

I have been through the trauma of several deaths over the last couple of years. The shocking death (vs. the deaths of those who had been sick) was by far the worst to deal with. You WILL get through it. Going through the motions is OK and sometimes it's honestly the best you can do. My condolences.

My prayers are with you and your friend's family. I know the hurt will be there a long time, but you're strong enough to make it through!
