I'm beginning to dread Fridays. This is a shame, because Fridays are supposed to be fun!
This morning, I was shocked (yes, shocked) to discover that I've gained 3.5 pounds. That's right - I'm 3.5 pounds heavier this Friday than I was last Friday.
Um...WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
How does that happen? Nothing has changed, I've been eating the same, exercising more (if not the same amount) - what is my body doing to me???
Is it stress? The stress of having only one income? The stress of having to job hunt? The stress about not hearing back on jobs that I've applied for? Stress over what my next step should be?
Why can't I be one of those people who gets stressed and loses weight? Seriously, I'd be on a feeding tube if I lost weight every time I got stressed.
But, alas, that is not how my body works - as soon as I feel even a teensy touch of stress, it's like my brain sends out signals to hold onto the fat for dear life!
Anyway, either I need to reprogram my body to handle stress in the exact opposite way, or I need to minimize my stress - I'm honestly not sure which method seems more feasible!
Last night, I did the stationary bike for 25 minutes, went 7 miles and burned 400 calories - I'm going to stick with it, and hopefully undo the damage that all this stress has done!
