Days 85 & 86

Things have been a little rocky these last couple weeks. And at first I was getting discouraged because I really just thought I was losing sight of my goal. But since then I have realized that I do have hormonal issues...and I will try to explain this in as discreet a way as possible...but there are certain times when levels fluctuate and basically wreak havoc on my body. There is essentially a two-week span where I get very hungry, I break out, get really tired and more emotional. The problem with me is that I never quite know when the 2-week span is going to hit. And for the last 2 weeks I have been hungry, discouraged, EXHAUSTED, etc...and now it makes sense. That at least explains why I have been eating like a monster for 2 weeks! But I went food shopping at TJ's today and feel so much better! I'm also really looking forward to taking care of myself again - I'm going to bed early tonight after a long-day of work, I have a wonderful massage to look forward to tomorrow followed by catching up with a good friend, a HEALTHY lunch, and spin class...It is going to be the BEST way to start off my week and I couldn't be more excited about it! I feel like I'm back in business!!!

I will try to sum up what I've eaten...I remember perfectly what I ate today, but not too much  yesterday...I will try though!

I went to bed EXHAUSTED last night! I basically fell into a coma as soon as my head hit the pillow and I had to wake up early this morning so I could work a 3 hour football game with a heavy-ass camera on my shoulder! My muscles are killing me!! Here is what I ate TODAY. Now be prepared, it's probably one of the worst days I've had so far. And I wanted so badly to NOT POST it for everyone to see, but I've been so so honest with this blog so far that I'm not about to be ashamed and start clamming up now!

UGH I ate like a PIG!! My body seriously needed it though because when I finished eating it I didn't even feel STUFFED!!! It's like my body just instantly made use of it or something! Anyway, I can't wait for tomorrow...time to take care of myself and focus...I mean REALLY focus on wellbeing! A massage is the perfect start :-)
