Why can't life stand still?

I wish that life could stand still while I lose these additional pounds. Every week it's something different. I have yet to step in the gym this week at all.

I have been quite busy nursing my husband back to health because he had surgery and is unable to lift, bend or carry anything for a week. Usually he looks after our son while I go to the gym but since he can't lift him it isn't possible. I do have a treadmill in my basement but I haven't gotten to that either because I have been so swamped and tired that about time I get home and prepare for the next day and get my son to bed it's time for bed myself. Lately I have just been falling into bed and waking up half way through the night to realize I still have my clothes on or didn't finish something I was doing like cutting the lights off in the house, getting my clothes out, etc.

Although last week I was celebrating getting into my size 10 jeans, I still have yet to tip the scale towards my goal weight. I have been trying to control my eating since I haven't gotten to the gym this week but even that's hard. I have been constantly carrying bags of Cheerios (Cholesterol Reduction) and grapes to ward off hunger but that doesn't always last. I did that at the hospital while I was waiting for my husband and I was still hungry when I finished which only made me over eat at my next meal. That's why I wish that life could stand still so that I can lose these pounds that I have been struggling with for the past month and then life can continue but I guess this isn't Burger King and I can't have everything my way!
