Last week, Hurricane Sandy scared all of the East Coast days before it's arrival.
Like a lot of people, I am an emotional eater. Physically and mentally, your body reacts to high stress.
I am worrying about my family in Baltimore and my wife's (Benita) family in New Jersey. During that time before, during and after the storm it is very hard to stick to a healthy eating schedule.
Beforre and during the storm I would give myself a C+. I didn't totally throw away my good habits, but I can say that the amount of food consumed was not condusive to losing weight.
We were lucky in Baltimore, we did not suffer too much other than losing a tree in the front yard. Benita's family was not as lucky. It has been just over a week and they still do not have electric.
They are in our daily prayers to get relief soon.
I have gotten back up and have resumed my healthy eating schedule. I am taking small steps in the exercise department, by walking a few flights of stairs at work to get my body back on the road to my former athletic self.
There are many days that I think back on the athletic fun things that I used to do and I kick myself mentally. I ask myself " how the hell did I let myself get so out of shape".
"Stay strong David. Self pity does not help you reach your goal."
Until the next time,
David
