Well, yesterday was better- wasn't feeling quite so tired- but then I got 10 hours of sleep and didn't have a long drive anywhere. Which was nice.
Today- holiday!
I'm going to go to the store, get Christmas dinner fixings, and make a turkey. Should be tasty.
I was looking at supplements last night- I need to up my vitamin routine, but I'm not entirely sure what to do and what to take. Things I know I need to boost up:
1. Vitamin C
2. Omega 3
3. Need to support adrenal function
If I'm anemic, I'll also need to look into what other supplements I need to take. Iron- but iron interacts badly with my blood pressure medicine.
So this weekend- we'll get on the paleo wagon, get started on that so when I start cross-fit- I'll be over the "I feel like crap" first week that every new diet has- caused by withdrawal from the crack that is sugar and carbs.
On a side note- someone recommended that I look into the HCG diet. I'd really love it if people recommended healthy diets to me. A 500 calorie diet a day will make me lose weight, rather rapidly. But I get really lightheaded and sick feeling when I eat that low each day. And that can't be long term and sustainable. I worry that a lot of my problems go all the way back to when I was a teenager and took phentermine- the upper portion of the phen-phen diet, not the downer. I lost weight doing that, but I have been on a yo-yo weight rollercoaster ever since.
Of course, I didn't know any better back then. I just always hated being the fat, ugly daughter. It's one of the things I love about Erik- he told me straight up that he thought I was more beautiful than my sister.
None of this really matters, though. All water under the bridge. But I am taking charge of my life. I know what works for me. Eating clean, NO SUGAR. I've got this sugar thing where if I eat even a little bit- I go overboard. It's my trigger. If I make it through this year, I'll be golden for the rest of my life.
