Tough Week!

I just finished an email to all of you regarding our final week or days of this competition.

I hope to hear back from everyone in a timely manner. :)

I have been having a tough week. It's strange how I was able to stay so upbeat and do great over all the stress of the holidays, traveling, and worrying about all of you (in a good, I hope they're doing awesome, kind of way).

But now that we're almost finished and the dreary winter months are stretching out in front of me, with no real break in sight until Spring (much too far away!) -I am kind of bummed out. I have struggled this week just feeling good. I am so tired, my workouts, aside from zumba the other night, have felt kind of blah.  I took the last couple of days off from logging my food. I just suddenly needed a break. I logged the donuts I ate in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, but then logging shredded wheat and chicken chili yesterday just felt like it would put me over the edge. Weird! I am finishing my monthly visit from Aunt Flo, so I will choose to blame some of this on her and buck up while I "just keep swimming."

Aside from my own mini breakdown this week, I'm so happy that many of you have stuck this out with me. I'm happy that we've been able to share the ups and downs. Our physical health and fitness is wrapped up in so many aspects of our daily lives. It can be emotional, so I'm glad we could be here at least once a week, to feel like the efforts we're making are worth it and to know we're in it together.

Hugs and kisses to you my friends!
