help! I need exercises...

[BlackRose]

I am having a bad day. I mean a bad day! New suite arrived -unfinished! Not even the wrong one but actually unfinished! OH still recovering from crazy flu -my youngest has just gotten over vomiting and diarrhea and now my 11 year old is throwing just everything he thinks of eating up.

The house is a complete tip cus most of the living room is in the kitchen -toys all over the place -an absolute MOUNTAIN of ironing to do. With not even enough room to set up the ironing board. Piles of washing to be done -why am I not able to keep on top of this?! Why does it always keep just pililng up til I feel utterly out of control?

I'm feeling both knackered and bursting of energy and honestly -I want to stuff my face so so badly its not even human. SO now I know! Now I know what I do. I take stress out on me. I eat to quell the stress and hopeless feeling. This isn't hunger -this is self-flagellation!:cry::cry::cry: But the urge is still there no matter what we may call it.

I have to do something -I cant go out cus I'm waiting on the kids coming back (they've abandoned me to the housework and went to their nan's lol) and I think I need some extreme and painful exercises.

I have weights so I might just push an hour of body pump onto myself -if I'm going to punish my body for feeling this way then I may as well do something productive right?

GOD!! At the same time I just want to lie down and sleep!

Please -if anyone has some exercise that I can do at home -as soon as I can to smother this awful feeling - please do share...
:cry:

I would go lie down in a darkened room and hope the kids stay at their nan's for ages so I can't be of much help I am afraid. In fact after having read your post I may have to any way x

Do you have a Wii , failing that get your trainers on and walk briskly for 4 mins then jog for a minute - do it a couple of times round the block then come in - admittedly feeling knackered and start on the house !! That was my solution after the washing machine flooded, house a tip and wet washing all over, add that to an incontinant dog who thought the dry washing was there for her to pee on !
At least you are losing weight and can smile about it
with love

OK Rose I seem to recall you using this line but heck that means it must be a goodunn.....breathe...........breathe............and now slower and deeper..........yep am still talking about breathing take that smutty thought out ya head Seriously though deep breathing exercises are a great stress buster.
OK the house well take it on one square foot at a time that is what I have done with mine slowly but steadily whipping it into shape.......as for the eating to deal with stress, as I have said quite openly each pound of my weight is a pound of emotional baggage...now I am shedding it my tolerance for things that I have simply accepted is lessening.......the kids are having to learn things don't simply materialise back in their right place...work is having to realise I can say no...with changing your behaviours like that you can gain some time back in the day...you can use this to get organised and to start exercising......the stairs are a great free piece of kit to run up. Can you join freecycle and see who has an exercise bike or a treadmill going free..or get out for a walk when you can ...let other half pick up some slack if he doesn't alread, be just a tad selfish for a change xxx
As for ironing I hang all my stuff up on the hangers and spray them with a water spray most the creases drop out ...I avoid ironing as much as possible I loathe it

Damn! My words keep coming back to bite me on the bum! lol

Good tips -goin to use the stairs as much as poss -but have irritable neighbours syndrome. I like that Ironing tip! I dont usually do much ironing -if it come out of tumble dryer wearable its done! lol But I'm tryin to organise the place a bit bewtter and things have just piled up crazily!

So...I'm taking a little at a time. Goin to phone my friend for a coffe and a walk and clear my head.

We'd all be great if we could take our own advice sometimes wouldn't we? lmao

THANKS EVERYONE!!!

p.s. Gotta get me a bloody Wii Fit!! Though now that I think of it the wii sports is a pretty good thing itself -right when my son comes back he's hooking it up 4 me! (terrible to rely on an 11 year old for that isnt it lol)

Awww sorry chick to hear ya are stressed out. Well I have just finished 45min dance exercise to Dirty Dancing. I love the music on it but god I can nowhere dance like that but hey I did my best. If ya had have seen my moves to Johnnys mambo even Patrick Swayze would have died laughing but hey it got a sweat up and I am thankful nobody else was in the room to see me and it was fun to do. If ya need a copy let me know!! I have been hearing alot about the nintendo wii lately so have ya have got one of those hop on that, if that fails go out for a walk/jog. Dont be worrying about the house, cleaning or anything else, for now run yourself a hot bath and have some relaxing time for yourself and get those bad thoughts out of your head, its one of those days. Take care chick
