@aeshippers. There can be a number of reasons for feeling exhausted. Becoming ill is one of the reasons. Overtraining is another common cause (adequate rest days for muscle groups is required - especially when incorporating strength training). From what I can see, your diet looks pescatarian and what you eat is considered FAR healthier than I do (I see no obvious problems with vitamin intake - but adding a multivitamin will fill in any gaps in your diet if you desire). You may need more fish to keep the protein levels up. As @scubachick67 mentioned, you need to keep water intake up also ensure the iron in the diet is being absorbed.

@aeshippers. Well done for not succumbing to the lure of junk food. Use pass days if you need to and get your strength back. Maybe even see a doctor (as this has been going for a while - could have something else going on). No use hitting target if it's going to be harmful. If you need an exercise less stressful than running, rowing or cycling, try walking (at a pace at which you could comfortably hold a conversation - wont give you a lot of extra calories in the budget, but won't stress you too hard and does count for the UAC 20 mins).

@2020pinktogo. It's hard to please people all the time. Find something that also gives you pleasure. You have been working hard and deserve some you time. btw, I also work a sedentary job and need to find ways to get out and keep moving. Remember, exercise is less than 15% of the weight management equation (most energy is consumed just keeping the body warm and the brain working). Use exercise to keep healthy, not just to try burn calories.

@2020pinktogo. Lastly, talk to hubby about meals BEFORE he prepares them. This way you can help determine ingredients and portion control. Is hubby on MFP? Can he see what you have tracked eating wise? Does he have a way of finding out how much is left in your daily budget? Open/honest communication is the key to keeping things happy at home.

I'm back! This weekend turned into a crazy family reunion at my house. At the max, we had 36 people at my house, 28 of them sleeping at my house. This was all happening while my mom was in the hospital. She's been in and out for the last month fighting pancreatitis as a result of gal stones. She was released and got to join the big party! All 5 of my siblings and their spouses and children were there (we were just missing one grandchild and one spouse) We decided the theme was "So Happy Together" We had people there from as far as Guam (I'm in Utah).
Luckily I had prepared the meals in advance but keeping 36 people fed and entertained for 4 days was a lot of work and I had to use my 3 pass days all in a row. I'm happy I was able to keep it going through Saturday and am back on track today.

@fightingthetideofaging Happy Birthday!!! Congrats for sticking to your guns and not doing a full blowout! You have more discipline than me. Also, carrot cake = the best.

Exercise: Yes, tried T25 and made it all of 5 minutes, haha! I'm going to keep working toward getting through the whole thing. I supplemented today's attempt with some line and salsa dancing (by myself. Mine is a thrilling life).
Calories: Yes. I'm finding I need to stop eating such a high-cal breakfast--it makes the rest of the day more difficult. I'm going to try two eggs tomorrow.
Tracked: Yes.
