STRESSED spells DESSERTS backwards?!?!?!!?

So as I mentioned before my life is currently in a state of transition.  My job is moving at the end of October... I'm looking for a new place to live by the end of October...Oh and I'm trying to make a lifestyle change that won't end when the challenge ends at the end of October (that's a mouthful).  It's been tough to stay focused on each of these things as well as dealing with family issues, so at times I tend to get stressed or overwhelmed.  Food has been a comfort and now that my safety blanket is gone...where do I go now?  Last week I made it my business to do what I had to do to focus on being a better Davida!  I may not be perfect but I'm working on taking care of this temple that I've been given!

Body:  Last week wasn't too bad.  I suffered with some Seasonal Allergies due to the changing season.  I noticed that my endurance improved as well as my form.  I'm still having some knee problems when I do the excercies that require me to jump.  I hope that goes away as the pounds/inches dissolve into thin air.  I still haven't figured out how to get enough rest, but I try my best to be in bed no later than 11pm on the week nights.  I was surprised at myself for getting up on Saturday to go walking after being out late from the MEGAXE, which had me quite sore.  I also have a hip injury that has made the sit-up moves tough, but I noticed that I improved in that area as well.  Again, I'm not perfect but slowly working up to doing more and more.

Learning- Even though I was stressed I tried to find other ways to deal with it by going walking to clear my mind.  I even found a mixed nut mix that says the combination of nuts and chocolate would help give you energy.  My boss gave me a small thing of Skittles and because it was in my sight I slowly ate them over the course of a few days.  However, whenever I got stressed I noticed that I would reach for them.   NOT GOOD! I need to be more disciplined and not let what's going on affect my eating habits!

Goals-  I'm still working on perfecting some of my goals, such as getting in  a few more workouts in during my week, especially since I've been spending my down time apartment hunting.  I also plan to push through my workouts and focus on my eating.  I knew it wasn't easy when I signed up and I'm going to make a better use of the next few weeks to help kick off this lifestyle change!
