Week Fourteen Review:
Overall, things went better than last week. I'm learning to find new healthy rhythms that work with being a full time student who is also a Pastor and working. It is still a learning process. The healthy habits that have been the hardest to keep up have been the walking and workouts. It feels like there is not enough time to do all my course work and keep all my tasks unless I give up sleep (which isn't a real option).
The stress of the previous week was deep. I definitely did some stress eating and enjoyed more comfort foods. There was discouraging weight gain and a sense that I was moving backwards. Some of the gain I think was water retention due to more salty foods. I also have noticed I had a massive acne breakout, made me feel like I was back in high school.
