7 months 4 days

Jan 19, 2010

i have an appeal hearing to attend today for my unemployment benefits, since my ex-exployer is fighting my claim.  i am a trifle nervous.  so far that is killing my appetite, but i'm going to eat a breakfast wrap from DD to make sure i do get some protein.  my hubbie is going with me for moral support.  lunch may be on the go, or home.  i made some bbq beef brisket earlier this week that is to DIE for.

my urge to stress eat has been hard to handle.  our financial pressure right now is intense.  i did land a part-time (10 hours) job yesterday, but am waiting indefinitely for a start date.  i also got an interview for tomorrow, for a potentially lucrative full-time job.  i am therefore stressed but hopeful, which helps of course. 

i have been handling stress by making lists of tasks i want to accomplish every day and getting them done.  they range from work-search goals to domestic tasks and self-care.  i've managed to miss only 1 day of pilates, and it's helping my back pain, a lot.

no weight loss yet.  i have been running carb-high which i know is a problem.  i've been doing well with my fluids, though.
