OTTER's CalorieKing blog
Wednesday, Nov 4 2009 - Back to Divorce Recovery Tonight...
View OTTER's food & exercise for this day
My Recovery Group is this evening. Topic: children. I have none, and even the step kids were in their teens when I met their dad. So I'm not sure how much personal relevance tonight's topic will have.
I'm in TOM, so I didn't even bother getting on the scale. But before TOM I noticed a loosening of pants waists. So my efforts at eating more sensibly are probably working.
I'm doing well with exercise, and supplements, so arthritis is fine EXCEPT when there is a fast change to the weather. I read on ArthritisToday.org that changes to barometric pressure will actually make joints swell -- something very noticeable to my level of arthritis pain.
Finding myself more moody this week - darkness, TOM, the sinking reality of my changed circumstances. I keep promising myself I won't worry or carry concerns over things I can't change and things that just need time. But when I wake at 1 a.m. with a hot flash, and my brain first goes to worry, sometimes it can be hard to keep a refreshed and hopeful outlook.
Grateful today for friendships new and old, for kindness of co-workers, for long moments of great sunny weather.
If you've visited, thank you. May you go in peace, and return in peace. -Otter

Hope your recovery group was helpful after all. If nothing else, you supported the rest of the group by being there and listening. // I'm sure it's still a bit weird waking up in a different place so waking up at 1 a.m. with a hot flash must seem disconcerting. I hope you have some things (not food!
=D ) to comfort you with their familiarity as you transition.
