Got a phone call about 25 minutes after midnight last night. My youngest son had been arrested. To make a long story short for sitting in a car with a buddy who had a pot ciggarette in his ear. A cop pulled up next to the car and saw it. And arrested both of them.
He should be home in a few hours. He spent the night in jail. I spent the night in agony. His friends mother called me and told me, which was nice but hard to swallow. He's my baby. Almost nineteen years old and I guess making stupid mistakes. Wow what a hard night and day it was. Needless to say I didn't sleep worth a darn.
I wanted to eat anything in sight this morning but decided I had come to far, I have to be strong. My anxiety was at an all time high today.

Wednesday
I started my day walking on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Then I had a 1/2 cup a coffee as I made my breakfast and cried. I was off of work today thank you God.

B- 1 slice of toast (soy & wheat bread)
marmalaide
7 whole natural almonds
raspberries
1 oz organic multigrain oat bran cereal
7 oz skim milk
L- Bake Potato
6 BBQ soy crisps
D- low cal Tuna sandwich on rye bread

s- smart ones ice cream sandwiche

excercise 35 minutes on the treadmill this morning & 20 minutes of toning & weights this afternoon.

I know that I did not have enough vegtables or fruit today. I just didn't have my heart into fixing anything.
Everything was fast or let the oven fix it.

Oh July.. I hope everything works out. It's so good that you didn't turn to food either. A good workout helps...it won't make it go away...but it can help. Hang in there. Sending some to you and your son. Ah..those kids...and people wonder why we gray!! Good luck.

Hi July - looks like you did fantastic over vacation, are you going back in 2 days or is your counter wrong? Your menus sound yummy! The weight will come off just stick with it

Sorry to hear about ds & all your stress! Major kudos to you for not emotional eating

Hope all works out, have a wonderful day

 

[DoeWDW]

July, I'm so sorry to hear about your DS. I can't even imagine the emotions you've been feeling. I hope all works out for the best for him.

You did an amazing job of staying strong through the stress. Working out was a great idea!

Are you still going back to the Limetree tomorrow? Best wishes for a restful trip to help you de-stress.

Hang in there!

So sorry to hear about your son and his troubles.

Sometimes it takes a wake up call like his situation to make him think twice the choices he makes. I always look at it that it could be a whole lot worse.

Hope this email finds your family working their way past these problems.

Proud of you - Handled the stress very well.

Good Wishes

Have a Disney Day

 

[July]

I am still trying to snap out of my depression & anxiety here. Haven't been doing to good in that department. I have to work tomorrow morning so we will not be leaving to go to Limetree till later. Hopefully I can enjoy my vacation and not worry about my son. I am going to try real hard... I have found myself not taking my meds like I should and that doesn't help either. I have to make myself take my meds tonight at bedtime. I have been doing good in the morning just not at night.
