What I call a good day

It is 11:38 AM in what should be sunny PR. Actually it is cold and damp and the sun has tried to come up but has had no success. Oddly enough, that has not dampened my spirits. I woke up at 6:...AM and even though I only got 4 hours of sleep I decided to stay awake for as long as possible to see if now I can revert the sleep cycle back to normal.
I actually got some work done and some study time. Now, for the worst work but the best workout around, house work. Tip from me: play your favorite music and dance while you clean, even belt out a few tunes. It will inspire you and let's face it, if you are not Christina Aguilera, who can keep a sour mood when they are listening to their own voice trying to hit those high notes (LOL). I admit it, I can't sing, but I love trying. Just keep moving!

Eating when you feel bad

I have been unemployed for a couple of weeks now and the only thing that worries me is emotional eating. I have been smart enough not to keep a lot of junk food in the house. And money being at a premium, I can't go out and buy whatever I want. But some times I worry that spending too many hours near a fridge while sitting at my computer (my office is in the family room currently) could be a hazard to my achievements so far. Also, I am having a little trouble setting the ground rules for my daily routine. Any suggestions?

Water weight gain...

Today, my post is small, the news are expected. One week after thinking I had gained five pounds, I can tell you that water weight is gone, and I have not gained any weight, I lost five pounds. I ate all the goodies, sensibly and it worked. Now, two weeks after the year end and a week after Xmas was over in PR, I feel very positive about life. I have not been able to successfully establish a workout routine. Maybe that is because I am not working and it has been hard to set up a routine. Anna started school today, maybe that will help me get back on track. If all else fails, I'll walk her to school. At least that will be exercise. Any suggestions?
