A Day

I don't want to count days. This has to be sustainable for the rest of my life. Otherwise, it won't work. I also have to get back to eating breakfast, even though I'm not hungry in the morning. I did today and I feel annoyingly full now. I'm going for a hike while W has run club, so hopefully it won't be too big a problem. If I were going running this would not be so great. I really want to run and I need to eat breakfast. I don't know how to reconcile these things. Maybe it means going for a run later in the morning. Tomorrow is run day. I guess I'll figure that out then. 

I woke up vaguely more hopeful today. I guess that's from the run. A little bit of hope is good.

Day 13 - Squeaking By

 Well, maybe because I said I was cruising yesterday, but today is harder. I had too much wine last night (probably too high carb) and felt kind of rotten today. Then I had to run a Valentine's Day party for 52 5th graders (not my favorite activity). On top of that, I have a sick kid at home, and my husband wanted to share one of our favorite beers and some dessert tonight, so this was supposed to be a planned carb indulgence. However, with the sick kid and just general tired Tuesday night-ness (and the fact that I'd just as soon skip Valentine's Day anyway), we decided to postpone our mini date night to this weekend. So I had a keto-friendly lunch and dinner and put the beer and the dessert away for a few days. But oh my god. I know those desserts are sitting in the freezer and I want them so badly. Something about just knowing that they are there has me on edge. I could just sneak them and go out and get new ones for when we want them, and no one would know! But where has...

Where I am and Where I Want To Be

 Here are the issues I'm dealing with right now that are affecting my quality of life and making it so I feel like I'm just existing and not thriving at age 44: *Depression *Ahedonia *Migraines *Anxiety *Binge Eating Tendencies *Sugar addiction *Over-reliance on alcohol *Persistent lower back pain *Obesity *Total lack of physical fitness *Joint pain due to lack of strength and flexibility *Screen addiction *Feeling like I'm failing my kids and setting a bad example for them *Worsening vision *Insomnia There are probably others that I don't even know about. A couple come--to a certain extent--with age, but I am confident they are worse than they need to be (like my worsening vision) because of my lifestyle. Here is the tools I want to use regularly to help me become the person I want to be by the end of 2023: *Primal/Keto Eating. Every day. When I slip up, I need to get back on the wagon. *Intermittent Fasting. I want to eat two meals a day to help control my calories. *...
