    Week 4 Day 2

    Workout - done
    Calories - under
    Water - 14 glasses
    5 Min Bear Walk- Done


    Crystal, I'm so sorry to hear about the job. I agree with Monica, try your best not to allow depression to suck you under and further set you back. I know depression was a major contributor to my weight gain and now I think to myself... WTHeavens! Why did I allow myself to become a victim?! Job issues will come and go but you and your body are together for life. I'll send some prayers your way.

    Hi to my wonderfully supportive team, I am looking for some support right now! I just lost my job and had to take my old job back and had major stress reguarding the loss of the grant that was funding my current job that I lost and the late hours I will have to work with my old/new job that I will be working now and there was also some drama regarding if I would even be paid the next two weeks...thank God Almight that I will be...anyways, I hit rock bottom yesterday. I even ate when I wasn't hungry... A LOT... needless to say I went over calories and did not even exercise. I am not sure I am going to exercise today maybe some tonight when I get home, I am fighting depression hard, ever since the spring when I graduated from college... sorry that this sounds like a pity party but I really want to stay involved and I am so inspired by all of you.

    Hopefully I will do a make up day tomorrow, but I am staying under calories and over on water today for sure, I wont allow one day to break my diet!

    Sincerely,
    Crystal
    Crystal,
    Thank you for reaching out to us - we are ALL here for you. I think it's fair to say we have all been there and you have our support. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you - we are all different - I find that I go for a really long walk/run when I feel down as I just want to be on my own and clear my head.
    HUGS
    xx

    Crystal hope things get better for you, all of us go through various degree of ups and down and life is sometimes very hard. Let me tell you something everything was also ok with my life and suddenly my older daughter went through depression, she did not like life I had to literally rehabilitate ,her there is wonderful book called the depression cure which helped her a lot.
    Remember just one thing "change is the only constant". Another thing is do not stress over your change of job try to divert your mind Things will get better you are such a fun derby girl who brings so much of life into this team.

    Modified bushmen done today - replaced jumping jacks with squats and leg raises for burpees ... my knees arent taking all the jumping too well : /

    5.7km walk today
    extra 100 crunches (total 300)
    calories under
    water over

    What suggestions do you ladies have for increasing iron in your diet. I am a picky eater so its hard for me at times. I have noticed a few bruises on my arm and I have been really exhausted lately - so I think my iron may be a tad low (if I continue to bruise much more I am going to see the doctor - its fairly minor right now)

    Crystal I sincerely hope things get better for you. It is so easy to get down in the dumps and get depressed about life and the situations we go through. Trust me I know first hand, believe it or not 2 months ago I was at an all time low point in my life were I felt like giving up PERIOD... but I put my trust in God and everything happens for a reason. The reason may be that he has something bigger and better planned for you. Keep your head up honey and know that we are here for you.
