Doing better...

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Have been up and moving the last three days and feeling good. Just hoping to keep it up. Now to get better at eating. Have been working at increasing vegetables, but think I am still eating too much. Just need to keep up the effort.

Doing ok...

Working night shift all weekend. Really wreaks havoc on a diet. Try to plan meals ahead and bring healthy food, but when I am tired and need to stay awake is when I usually get the munchies. Cheesy popcorn was the treat tonight.

I went for a walk today, just over 20 minutes, but felt great to get outside.

  

Feeling a little better today...

Today I finally feel like I am well rested and like I can get something done. Hope it stays that way. I am trying to get a lot of errands done today. Need to stock the pantry. Then maybe to the gym.

  

Depressed...

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Sometimes it really seems like life gets the better of me. I am upset about all the weight I have to lose, but there is so much else that is weighing on my mind. It is too much of a task to do everything at once and I just do not know where to begin, how do you decide which goals and tasks have to come first when you barely have energy to get out of bed...

Believe me, you are not alone. There were plenty of times I gave up just to start over again and really never getting anywhere. Well I'm still struggling, but I'm going to start making my weight and my health my priority. I guess my amateur advice is to prioritize your needs, work at the all a little bit or jump on a crucial few, whatever you can do. If you have serious clinical depression, see a professional. But most of all, don't give up. Keep going, we can do it together!

your words describe exactly how i feel every day.but we get things done in the end because we have no choice. i have been so tired and stressed out lately but if i rest in gods arms and trust him to carry me for a while, then i gain the courage to carry on. you are not alone. god is with you always and all of us on spark people love you and are with you in spirit.xx

I have been clinically depressed in the past and I had a recurrence of down feelings about 2 years ago. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. My diagnosis (I did not go to the doctor at that time) was that my body missed the endorphins I had from regular exercise and I had given up exercising during the month of January (a gloomy month here) and it took about 2-3 weeks till I was bottomed out. My daughter helped me figure it out. It took another week or so to get going and walking again before I started feeling so much better. So even if you don't feel like exercising try it anyhow and let me know if it helps. It really helps me a lot....

Might not feel like it but we have all been there, including me. Everytime i went on a diet i never really had a goal except to " be thin ". Now looking back i realised that because it was such a vague goal to want i never got anywhere but now ive worked out exactly what i want from weight loss, like being able to wear a bikini. You need to look at yourself and think of what you will gain from losing weight and getting fit. Maybe theres an outfit you want to look amazing in ?? I Know it seems like a massive struggle, believe me i know. Im dieting aswell as looking after my daughter, doing a degree and working. I know its hard but you just have to focus on the results of all your hard work. I have days where i cant be bothered to get out of bed and just want the world to do it for me but then i think..no i need to get up and do stuff because i have a goal to reach. Just believe in yourself and once you get into the swing of things you wont be feeling so run down and overloaded xx
