I had a plan for healthy eating today. Then my stomach decided to be a brat and only accept super bland foods, so my plan went out the window and my calorie count was super low 😞 Feeling very frustrated and discouraged tonight. And also tired of being in pain with no discernible cause or effective treatment. Goals for…

Pain irks me today. I don’t know if it’s something I ate, or what time of month it is, or some combination but it hurts, and I can’t concentrate on anything except how uncomfortable I am. Feeling exhausted and losing hope that I’m ever going to find an underlying cause or an effective treatment.

Yesterday was rough. Some of it I had control over (what/the amount I chose to eat) and some of it I didn’t (my stove crapping out again and limiting what I can cook/eat). Either way I’m trying not to beat myself up for it and just focus on moving forward. My only goals for today are to log my food and drink 40 oz of water

Today I’m going to focus on water and logging all my food. Still in pain and feeling overwhelmed by work, but that’s basically the norm for me now and I don’t have any control over those things anyway. Trying to focus on the things that I can control

Didn’t make very good choices yesterday. Going to focus on water today and see if that helps the stomach pain which has been getting progressively worse this whole week.

Goal for today is to make healthier choices than I did yesterday. And survive my 10+ hour work day.

I worked for 9+ hours today and I’m still behind. So my clock is set for 4:30 am so I can get an early start and work an even longer day tomorrow. Fun. I’m so tired. Can this week please just be over already?

Need to vent. Got a major assignment dropped on me at work within 5 minutes of opening my email. It’s an editing opportunity, which I should be happy about, but it’s a super tight turnaround and would probably require overtime. But if I say “no” I can probably kiss any further opportunities goodbye. So more stress and…

Finally get an opportunity to use my writing/editing skills at work, but it’s a super tight turnaround in an already crazy week with other deadlines that I’m not sure I can meet. But I feel like if I say no, I can kiss any further opportunities goodbye. I’m so torn and I really don’t know what to do 😞 And all this anxiety…

No health-related goals for me this week. I have 29 work tasks to complete (that I know about so far), 8 meetings, and 1 doctor’s appointment. I think my only goal is to just make it through the week. Then I have one day to myself (Saturday) before some kind of family get-together on Sunday for Easter. But there’s a bunch…

Today was complete ****. And now my brother announces he’s taking vacation to one of my dream travel destinations. My parents just got back from a trip of their own. Last year there was all this talk of a family vacation in the Caribbean, but I guess that’s not happening now. And even if I do plan a vacation of my own,…

Goals for 3/30 - Tax appointment ✅ - Log all food ✅ - 40 oz of water ✅ - Crochet ❌ - Yoga ❌ - Go for a walk at Mt. Trashmore ✅ Lots of green check marks, but today was complete $***. Major problems with both work computers means I have to work over the weekend to give myself half a chance to meet my deadlines. Taxes ended…

My nutritionist told me yesterday it’s not the food I’m eating that’s causing all my stomach pain. Instead she told me it’s all anxiety and dehydration. I’m sure both of those things are probably contributing, but it still hurts to be told that I’m the problem/it’s all in my head, and no one wants to even consider the fact…

Goals for 3/30 - Finish tax prep ✅ - Nutritionist appointment ✅ - Log all food ✅ - 40 oz of water ❌ - Crochet ✅ - Yoga ❌ Today my nutritionist told me it’s not the food I’m eating that’s causing all my digestive issues.

Goals for 3/28 - Log all food ✅ - 40 oz of water ❌ - Crochet ✅ - Yoga ❌ Didn’t eat or drink enough today. Had a rotten day at work too, and got another rejection email from a job that I applied to. Just can’t seem to catch a break lately.

Goals for 3/27 - Log all food - 40 oz of water - Finish taxes - Crochet - Yoga Still trying to fight my way out of burnout - it’s exhausting for sure. Gotta start somewhere to get back into some type of routine so I might as well start today.

My unfulfilling, dead-end job is pretty irksome. So are the waves of stomach pain caused by eating something that’s never caused me pain before. So my safety net of foods that I know won’t trigger IBS flare ups? Yeah, that safety net is gone. Six months of hard work and a ton of dietary/lifestyle changes to manage the…

My only goal today was to log my food. I did, but it’s depressing to look at. Ended up having toast and yogurt for dinner because my stovetop started spewing smoke while I was just preheating a pan. Brand new drip pans and burners and I’m still terrified to turn it on. Anyone have any recipes that can be cooked in a…

My only goal for today is to log my food. I’m already fighting pain and anxiety attacks this morning so anything more than that just feels like too much.

Goals for 3/20 - grocery store ✅ - Check mail ✅ - Get tax stuff together ❌ - Yoga ❌ - Track food ✅ Did okay with calorie intake today but dealing with GI symptom flare ups again, and huge amounts of anxiety from the GI symptoms and some other family stuff going on that I don’t know how to deal with. Guess there’s nothing I…

Trying to get back on track today. I’ve been pet-sitting/house-sitting for the past five days so my routine has been completely thrown off. I’ll miss the morning puppy snuggles, but looking forward to getting back to my own bed tonight. Goals for 3/20 - grocery store - Check mail - Get tax stuff together - Yoga - Track food

My only goal for today is to go to my nutritionist appointment. Feeling completely overwhelmed by everything right now, so even just that is going to be a challenge.

No goals for me today. My plans for healthy eating have already gone out the window due to things beyond my control. Work plans have been thrown off-kilter too, also because of things beyond my control. Not having any control causes my anxiety to shoot through the roof, so today’s going to be one hell of a challenge.

Two things: 1) I’ve only been awake for four hours and my plans for healthy eating have already been thrown out of the window. Didn’t go to the grocery store this week because I’m supposed to house-sit for my parents starting this morning and planned to eat lunch over there. Now their flight got delayed until this evening…

Goals for 3/14 - log food ✅ - 40 oz of water ❌ - Clean kitchen and bathroom ❌ I let myself down today. I did log my food but I’m ashamed at how little I ate. I’m house-sitting for a few days starting tomorrow so I wanted to clean everything today so I could come back to a nice clean environment. That’s not gonna happen;…
