Pass Day #3
I seem to have lost all motivation. Is it because I don’t feel that great? So two questions. Do I not feel that great because I’m not eating well and moving? Or am I not eating well and moving because I do not feel that great? I suppose I will focus on meals and moving today and see what happens.4 -

I do know how you feel, see some of my recent posts. It seems to be a vicious circle, so how do we break out of it? I suppose if you know why you don't feel great, you might be able to do something about the cause. If it's a vague malaise, you can actually start at any point. I hate exercising, but when I feel bad, a 20 minute walk is feasible and makes me feel pleased with myself. I might add a few minutes and shop for some nice, healthy, easy to prepare food. Avocado and shrimps is great in my case, closest to a healthy comfort food I get. When I feel down, hopeless and feel that everything is pointless, I certainly don't feel like making or eating salads... Slice of nice bread, smear of butter, slice of favourite cheese works too, add some lettuce, a tomato or cucumber to feel extra virtuous. Melon and prosciutto... Be my friend and you'll see from my Diary what I have to do to cheer myself up!
Once I have done my 20 minute walk or whatever, eaten my healthy comfort food, next hurdle is to log it, but once that's done, I can do a bit of relaxing and make myself comfortable with a book, a film, music, phone a friend, have a whinge.
My UAC friends, like you, helped a lot. Positive comments, suggestions, I just didn't want to let you guys down. If I couldn't find any motivation in myself, you all motivated me, by your comments, commitment and confidence in me.2 -

Back to work today for a 5 day shift. Luckily we have got into a routine so even though 5 days is long, we'll handle it pretty well. Started the day off with a run as usual, didn't push too hard as its only a couple of days post blood donation and I needed the energy for work. Normal active day at work and stupid WhatsApp argument about our new roster when I got home. Then I made my housemate watch Hook with me because she has never seen it (shock and horror!!!!) Despite the argument, it was a good day. I made good food choices and was in my budget.3

@Chinkiri - thank you. You motivated me to get off the couch and do a nice easy cycle. It actually felt good.3

@MadisonMolly2017 - also a good plan. I think being off heart and blood pressure meds is a huge why. Forgot all about that.5
