Exhausted
Today I was just exhausted. I was supposed to see my therapist, but I was having stomach problems and was just so exhausted I couldn't go. I didn't want to have to sit on a bus for an hour and not have access to a bathroom. My therapist was understanding, so we rescheduled. I went back to sleep at 10:30 and slept until 2 straight. I got up, ate brunch, and then had to go back and lie down. I didn't sleep, but I rested. At 4 I got up, checked my email and had an energy drink to fuel me for my walk. I walked my normal 1.2 miles, albeit slowly. But I did it. I came home and relaxed for a while, then cooked dinner. Geo was upset that the leg quarters we normally get were cut into odd pieces by the meat market. I couldn't do anything about it, obviously, but he still was upset. Oh well.. I just let him have his alone time and recover.
My mood today was okay. I'm still tired and I hope I feel good tomorrow for my doctor's appointment. I need to go because he's the one who can help me with my constant stomach problems and IBS. I'm going to try and go to sleep early tonight... I don't have to wake up until almost 1 pm, but I don't want a repeat of today. I don't know what was wrong. I got good sleep, so I felt, but it just wasn't enough.
My eating today was bad... I binged and ate things when I wasn't hungry so I went way over my calories. Tomorrow I get to go out to eat but I don't have a lot of money, so it will probably end up being Taco Bell or something. I can't wait until the 3rd when I get paid. I need new workout clothes, and so I'm going on a shopping spree at Target. Their stuff is decent quality.. my pants I got there lasted me at least a year and a half. I also want to get a shirt for just working out in. The special kind that wick sweat away. That, and get my FitBit. I'm going to end the month on a gain of weight, but I was going between low carb and regular diet. Oh well. There's always next month! I plan on doing a lot more walking since it will be getting cooler. I'm going to slowly work myself up back to a 5k, and walk/jog it. I've been adding jogging to my walking for a bit and I love it. I miss running so much. Just my feet and the pavement. I listen to music, but just for the beat. I tune out the words and just run. It's a great release.

Larissa i think if i didnt have a very demanding schedule with all the kids and grandkids i would have a sleeping pattern just like yours.... no matter when i sleep or how much i sleep i still feel tired and exhausted to the point i feel like i cant function. Literally the only thing that keeps me going is that i have such a fear of disappointing one of my kids so i keep pushing myself.... if it wasnt for that there would be so many days i would struggle to just get out of bed and i wouldnt.
That is a great attitude about the possiblity of a gain this month..... next month is a whole new month and always more time to try. I do think switching between diets is what got your system messed up alittle but i know trying new ways of dieting is good too..... all just a learning experience because what works for one person dont mean it works for everyone. WTG on trying things and sticking to things that work for you.
I sometimes feel I live my life exhausted, even with a nap. I am forced to get up and go, otherwise I too would have a hard time, well, nala gets me up.such a positive spin on august and the weight, I agree with the 2 diets screwing up your system. you are walking and will be in that 5k position before you know it!
Thanks for all the positive comments! You two always make me feel better!
best of luck with jogging. i can\'t jog, it hurts my knees. i miss swimming though, as long as the pool is 84 degrees or higher its healthy, for all the joints.
i think weight alone makes people exhausted. also lack of sleep makes people gain weight and eat more. i have an article on that somewhere. xxoo
