This past week was a really stressed out week with tons of emotions and a Christmas Party.

A week ago Sunday, my boss who is my pastor and friend told me he was moving on to another parish after 20 years. Logically I know he must do this for himself so he is always challenging his talents and to share his gift of ministry but I have been devastated. He shared with me and a few people before it became official and I had to keep this to myself until the rest of the congregation knew of the news, which wasn't official until yesterday. I'm glad he gave me time to digest it all, it's just been really tough. Also our congregation lost a long time member who was like a mom and grandmother to many. Her funeral was today. Many were crying about her passing but also crying about the pastor leaving our congregation. It was just an emotional roller coaster all week.

Saturday was our company Christmas party and I ate and drank everything!!! I went hog wild!

I was so tempted to not go to my weigh in because I was emotionally drained and frozen to the bone with this freaking weather but I went. I did not stay for the class but I will make that up.

I ended up losing 1.4 pounds :O I'm now at a total of 36.4 pounds.

I do need to become focused more on exercise to help me deal with my stress and emotions for sure.
