I'm also feeling rather sore, as for the past couple of days I was working really hard outside trying to keep my yard looking nice (which contributed to good exercise). But I fell into a depression today, and had to release my stress. I'm loving my husband and my children though. While I find this "challenge" to be rather difficult, they are really being supportive. My husband seems to be doing really well with his "challenge". He's just not liking the days where he can't eat anything lol (which are few and far between), but he's hardly in a state as I am (unless he's doing really well hiding it).
Anyways, I'm loving my family because they all did their best to make me feel better this morning. My daughter brought me tissues for my tears and gave me hugs and my husband gave me supporting words and hugs. I still feel a bit disappointed in myself for constantly thinking I want to quit, but I'm not going to give in to defeat. It's hard, BUT...the rewards are great. It's day 4 and I've already lost 5 lbs. I'm really hoping this trend continues.
I'm toughing this out! I'm GOING to succeed!! and I WILL show the results!

When you are feeling down, try meditation. Or, sometimes a therapeutic cry can work wonders. You go in a room by yourself and decide to cry. You think of all the bad things and let it go. Lots of times after you finish you realize things are really not all that bad. At least that's how it worked for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip. Unfortunately, sometimes when I am feeling down or depressed, I cannot meditate. My mind will wander forever and will refuse to focus (it's weird that way lol). As hard as it is to admit, I did cry for a bit, and did feel better afterwards (with loving hugs from my daughter and husband). I know everything will work out :)
