Welcome to the month of March, the promise of upcoming warmth and growth, and usually a big blizzard which melts quickly. All the ice houses are off our lakes, and it's just so promising to see. Come on, temperatures, rise!
I have two goals for the month of March.
1) Get over this depression.
2) Lose 5 pounds.
Not asking a lot. I've had deficits, enough to show real fat loss, but it's not showing on the scale. Story of my life lately. All I want is five pounds.
And the depression is getting really old. I believe it to be situational (the damned kidney stone diet) and also typical for me in the month of February. It's a bad case of spring fever. The kidney stone diet is really upsetting my world, though, no matter how hard I try to be positive about it. I just do not think it's healthy for my lipids/heart because I have to eliminate too many healthy foods. Plus it's damned depressing reading blogs, seeing photos and recipes of...you guessed it, foods I can't have.
While I'm whining, I am pretty darned sick and tired of drinking a glass of water every stinking hour. Well, the drinking isn't the bad part, I'm tired of visiting the bathroom so often. I average every 20 minutes. If I have to leave the house, I let up on the drinking because you have not lived until you've peed your pants a little while running to the bathroom in the local grocery store. That's no life. Life must go on and I have to shop, so I don't drink a couple hours before I have to go out. I can make up for it when I'm home.
Grumble.
good luck! i know you can do it...did you watch that video on my blog..I know I don't usually do videos either, but this one is really good...it may even kick you a little out of your depression.
ReplyDeleteOk, I love, love, love, your blog background!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the goals this month. Depression stinks. Maybe we will have some more sun this month. That always seems to help. :)
Spring is on the way! Will be here before you know it.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about drinking water and the bathroom trips. I drink about 1.5 liters a day, so not as much as you, but I can not go anywhere without knowing where the potty is.
Stay strong!
Sending hugs, girl. I know all too well how hard it is dealing with depression and trying to lose weight at the same time. Hang in there...Spring is coming! Long walks outside, fresh air and sunshine, it's like nature's Prozac! :)
ReplyDeleteI hate that you're down. :( But spring and sunshine are on its way. I saw trees with new leaves! It's coming.
ReplyDelete5 pounds is a great goal.
Is the kidney stone diet forever? Perhaps you could see a nutritionalist for a second opinion?
Praying for lots of sunshine to come your way. In the interim... listen to Charlie Sheen interviews. It helps exponentially.
ReplyDeleteI hope the sun comes out soon for you - both in the sky and in your heart :) Hugs.
