Diario de melissatwa, 14 sep. 23

My days are packed with work and family and preparing to go away on vacation to Nice with my best friend. pretty cool that we have also been married for 30 years. 😁 My intake the last week or so has been too much and my workouts are just going for walks and my active occupation. I won't be going to Europe skinny, but I'll come back in a little better shape and I'll work at it again. I have a tiny bit more packing to do, which is surprisingly challenging when only taking what can fit in my carry on backpack. Everything must be exactly what I can use and not waste space. I bought a pair of jeans at the thrift store last night that are size ten... last time I got that brand they were an 8. That is not great... makes me feel discouraged, but I want to be comfortable on the trip and I don't feel horrible... just... I know I've got to be so cautious and not get complacent when we get home. Journals are for the writer, and this is for me to try to stay attentive to my plans. They are for life not just a quick dash to a lower number on the scale. Today, I feel like my mental health... my spirits are in a good place. I am hopeful and not distressed. Off to work I go. ♥️😊
