Day #5 with no meds.
I woke up sore this morning and took some ibuprofen, but nothing stronger. And I held myself to 1800 calories last night...I came home at 8 pm and was so exhausted and sick (the ear infection and sore throat still bother me) that I went staight into the bath. After the bath, I *made* myself eat soem dinner since I was only at 1200 calories for the day. I didn't want to eat, but I knew I should.
And between the bath, some Tylenol, and some food, I almost felt human again by the time I went to bed. Although I still haven't studied much this week...which has to change.
WI -- Do you like hot chocolate? Might be a good alternative. I personally think the Carnation packets of hot chocolate (while not great for dieters) are yummy.
Aqua -- Sounds like you're making progress. Ever thought of having Mt Dew-free days?
Just so you have another peak to conquer.
And congrats on the weiht loss. Damn I bet you look sexy.
IAKG -- Yes, I am more positive. I've been making a conscious decision to do so...life is too short to be miserable all the time.
And I am glad you got all your loved ones back safe and sound.
Lil -- I doubt you will fail at your endeavor. Just showing up -- and caring -- is more than many of your lost boys have gotten before. You are wonderful. And you have too much perseverence to fail.
maddy -- way to go on the working out, despite a bad day! Most of the time, if the day is really bad, I lack such discipline. And I think you're right about the hormonal swings.
fzzy -- Congrats on staying in your range (which is pretty low, challenging goal!) and also staying positive. You *are* an inspiration for us all.
