weight loss week 6

We got a real curve ball thrown at us last week; a MAJOR life change. And no i am NOT pregnant!! :) In spite of this and some slip-ups here and there, I still lost 2 lbs! I am so excited that I am on my way to 20lbs. However, workouts were non-existent. I know it probably would have helped reduce my stress level but i just didn't have it in me last week, not with all that is going on. I am just happy that I am keeping up by slowly losing and at least i didn't gain any, which could have easily happened considering the circumstances. I am still really struggling with figuring out that food does not fix things. Although I am obviously doing better by the results I am seeing, I still seem to immediately want to turn to food when things go awry...and this last week was definitely proof of that. Of course, it's hard to find any suitable way to deal with stress when you have 3 small kids to take care of. I normally have a hard time getting in my workout time, and then when life hands you a heap of crap to deal with...well things just get even more complicated. Let's just say, working out wasn't even on the back burner last week, i think it got pushed off the stove and fell onto the floor. I am not giving up on working out, but now I really need to start over and just even take a walk a few days this week. My mom always told me that life is 1 step forward and 2 steps back. She is one wise woman.
