Terrible, but getting back on track

Let me just begin this post by saying that traumatic brain injury and being rushed do not a good combination make! I admit, I've been feeling the stress of my husband's sudden urge to end our marriage and even more so, his sudden urge to get us out of the apartment months before we'd planned to move! My health has suffered but just a little bit. 

For the last couple of weeks I let my daughter eat with her father and I ate cheap, not healthy, cheap. I survived and was able to get the home and all the deposits paid, even had a few dollars left over. But, I've been feeling ill, taking more medicine than usual, and just being sick and tired of being sick and tired. That's only 2 weeks so its very important that I eat right and move or I get sluggish. My personality and sluggish do not go together at all! 

I haven't kept up with aerobics, walking, or even dance, mainly because he the stbx says hurtful things about my body, always "joking" of course. Sigh....I've been struggling to get my body back since I was able to walk with a cane 3 years after the injury. I really don't deal well with criticism and I'll be happy to be away from that, very soon. Excuses? Sure, but I'm only human.

Today I forced myself to do my strength training routine. My legs are in just too much pain to do any aerobics or dance. I work today and start cleaning tonight, so no walk but I'm sure to burn some calories making that home livable this weekend. I woke up feeling sick last night and took some meds. This morning I'm forcing myself to eat Special K with Silk and the rest of the day is likely to be one of lemon water to repair the damage my neglect has caused.

So, my spirits are high, physically I feel TERRIBLE, but I'm getting back on track starting today! ~Happy Friday~
