Stressful Week But We Made It

Hello all. Tracy and I had a very stressful week both at home and work this week. We had house guest while we had major changes at work. A tough week to stay on any kind of a diet and lifestyle modification plan. But we did it. I am proud of both of us. Even though the idea of old habits and comfort food were the easy way, both Tracy and I for the most part stayed on course and on our plan. With house guest (family and friends) in from out of town they wanted to visit other family members who all wanted to show southern hospitality and cook too much food for any army to eat. Then nights when we were alone with our guest, we wanted to go out to dinner and show them Huntsville. Again stressful for someone on a lifestyle modification. Again we did it by making dinner choices of salads. At work we're making big changes (growing pains) and welcoming new doctors and corporate changes. In fact, on Thursday, we closed all the clinics and had a day long Team meeting so we spent hours preparing the PowerPoint presentations. More stress. So how did we do. For the most part great. There were some old habits that tried to bite us; but, we held on and worked at keeping on track. Who ever said the toughest part of lifestyle modification is the mental stuff and keeping away the mental daemons was right on target. It's easy to change when it' easy but it's hard to keep going when it's tough. Well we choose to continue the plan and reap the wonderful benefits... living longer healthy.
God Bless
