I'm sorry I haven't been here for awhile. I've literally been buried under papers. Every semester this happens. I can't even begin to tell you the number of papers I've had to read and grade over the last couple of weeks. I submitted grades this morning and I've spent most of the afternoon and evening just breathing in and out, trying to remember what it's like not having the weight of all those papers on me.
Unfortunately, the stress of the end of the semester always defeats my dieting efforts. I need to chomp on something while I chew my way through the papers. Peanuts and pistachios in their shells are the most satisfying. The janitorial staff at school isn't very happy with me. But I think peanut shells would be easier to clean up than the mess they'd have if my head exploded.
I did however do something constructive. I joined the Regional Wellness Center. I've only been able to go once, but I'm hoping to go again tomorrow.
I know the last time I wrote, I was complaining of joint pain. My tests all came out negative. The multiple doses of Aleve help. I still have my moments of pain, but it's better. Hopefully it'll get better the more weight I lose. Of course, I'm working of weight I've lost and regained and lost and regained. It's been a vicious cycle, but I know it'll be easier from the new year until spring break, as long as the weather isn't too nasty and I find myself trapped at home with the refrigerator.
