I have been seriously hormonal and depressed the past few days, so my nutrition has not been very good,. Fortunately I have stayed consistent with my exercise (because I know it will help me cope with my depression) but I have been eating junk food and I want to get better about that. I know that putting good fuel in my body will also help me combat the depression, but its such a deeply ingrained habit to reach for junk when I'm down that it is taking longer to change that habit.

Just had a few Mike's Hard Lemonades that a friend brought over (didn't even think about the calories) and I may have done some damage to my daily calorie total. I'll check it out on my nutrition tracker and assess the damage tomorrow morning. :)

Way to go, Amber!!! Feeling lousy physically is no fun, but it sounds like you took good care of yourself. You are doing great!

Unfortunately, the cake was too strong for me yesterday. The little devil in the back of my brain kept telling me, "You can't have sherbet. You're too phlegmy. Cake won't make you worse." And I listened.

But today was much, much better. After a dose of Nyquil last night, I had more energy today. I didn't get the exercise I'd planned (I was already having a bit of trouble breathing because of the cold), but I did get some housecleaning done, went up and down my stairs more often than usual and ate fairly well - bananas, grilled chicken sandwich and lots and lots of water and Powerade Zero.

Today was a rockin' day!

LOL! I admit, I had to pull my scale out of the cabinet and dust it off to do my weigh-in today. (I keep it put away so I don't obsessively weigh myself every day.) I told it as I put it away that the next time I pull it out (next Friday) I would be lighter than I am today! :)

noooooooo THENEWAMBER dont do it!! LEAVE THE CAKE ALONE!!

Go for a walk that will help the sickness go away. Drink your orange juice, water, and take your vitamins. The more you fight the illness the better you will fill.

Jenn today is a new day and you have a new start ahead!! Let's make the best of it...

Today's totally true confession:

Keeping with the theme that last night was the last hurrah before I started a bunch of challenges today, I went out with my hubby with the intention of getting groceries, but instead got sidetracked at the Verizon store looking at shiny new phones and instead we drove through and got a "sack-o-meat" (that is what my husband calls a bunch of Burger King buck double burgers!) Cheap, filling, and oh so bad for me, but oh well, I start all of my challenges today!

I've blown the exercise that I know I should have done today. I've got a sore throat and a cough, but I can't help but feel that it's an excuse rather than a valid reason to not work out. I've been pretty good when it comes to food - I ignored my kids' fries and nuggets and went for a chicken salad instead - but I'm feeling the need for comfort food and the birthday cake in the other room keeps calling my name.

Confession time: while I started off with good intentions, stress has driven me to eat a pack of M&Ms, a 20 Coke (not Coke zero, as I had planned) and a small bag of Cheetos. And while I would love to say that is all of the damage that I plan to do, I can't promise anything. I guess I feel like this is my last day of freedom for awhile, too!

POST YOUR HONEST CONFESSION HERE ABOUT WHATEVER YOU LIKE
************************************************

Ok today is the day before I start the 31 Day Challenge and I've been eating reckless all day!

There was a party in my work office for a lady that's moved back into her home since the flood. Her home was repaired from flood damage after 4months so that's a blessing.

But there's still no reason for me eating the way that i have lol....i feel like its my last day of freedom for 31 days!
