I haven't been communicative with anyone, lately. I haven't kept up the blog, I have been relatively quiet at home. My bariatric fitness/nutrition group hasn't heard from me, I have just been quiet on all fronts. Some of this was the result of a technical issue, but more and more it has become me just sitting in my stuff.
The semester came to a close this week. Today was the winter commencement at the university and I turned in my final assignment for the first half of my master's program a couple of days ago. This semester has been stressful in so many ways and I definitely started to backslide on my weight loss goals. The stress and anxiety built and I found myself feeling the depression that is common with it for me and I, of course, turned to food. I haven't been eating the way I should and it has caused some regain.
I have been struggling with so much lately and this break is desperately needed. It won't be a real break because I will have plenty to do, but it is the sort of thing I enjoy doing. I will be working on things for Scouts and spending time with my family. That is what I am looking forward to and getting myself back on track.
