I did it!

So yesterday was a struggle because I woke up to loud lawn care and strong scents from the neighbors and the pollen was coming in the house all day long. It was hard to breathe and I had a constant sinus headache.. However, I still managed to go for a walk, do laundry, clean and box for 15 minutes. I did 1000 punches and it felt good. The other great thing is that I only went 67 calories over my suggested daily intake of 1700. The day before I consumed 2500 calories I am ashamed to say. I do not know how normal people that consume 2000-4000 cannot all be extremely over weight. It was only difficult at night, when of course biggest loser was on. But I did it. I had some steamed asparagus for a snack (I burned my hand though :(), and then later I had three triscuits and a string cheese. When I was going to bed I did feel a little dizzy, but I guess that would be expected when your calorie intake is 1000 less than what your body is used to. Surprisingly though, I did not feel that hungry throughout the day.

Today is going to be another challenging day for me. I had so much energy for about a week and then the last few days I have been waking up feeling like I didnt even go to sleep. I blame it on the weather and my allergies. Its only 65 right now compared to that of 85 yesterday although it is going to warm up more. But my sinuses hurt really bad again. The news crew said the pollen is going to keep getting worse through the week. I thought when I heard about it in Michigan in was bad, but it is actually extremely visible here. I have to keep dusting yellow film off from my furniture all the way into the middle of my house even. :(

Anyways.. I am tired today, and when I am tired or not feeling well I tend to CRAVE junk food, or greasy food. We promised Noah the other day we would take him to Chick fil A, which is actually somewhat healthy and all fresh foods so I guess if I am going to have a challenging day, I might as well eat there today, but I will check the nutrition info on the menu before we go and select the best option. I will get through this day to the best of my ability....

Take care,
