my recipe for better mood
thank you all for your support and kicks and understanding yesterday! I am here to say that the rest of the day was so different thanks to a timely babysitter and a nap for me and eli. I was a totally different person when I woke up - happy, satiated, calm, NICE. Before nap I was grumpy, munchy, unsatisfied, and well, tired. It is just amazing to me what a huge impact sleep and lack of sleep has on both my mood and my desire to eat/behave well. I need to keep remembering that. If i can’t make myslef eat well or exercise then i at least need to go to bed early or find a way to nap. Not all days is the nap possible, but i can go to sleep earlier.
Today was a lovely day, too, so far. Was able to get out and walk ALL morning long, plus eli and i met two friends for tea. Resisted my favorite scones in town there!
my recipe for a better mood is often food, but the real ingredients are:
sleep, friends, and outdoor exercise
hugs all around. here’s hoping i can dip below the last weigh in of 176 so that i can stay in the longest loser.

Glad to hear that today is better Deb, but I must have missed yesterday’s blog! Sorry!!!! I like that recipe very much! Good luck with the longest loser! I did that competition twice…it was alot of fun
Great recipe you have there.
Sounds perfect.
Sleep makes such a difference for all of us.
A lack of sleep makes all problems appear bigger.
It really does magnify things.
That can go for hunger or cravings too.
Going to bed early when you can is a great idea to help make up for your lack of zzzzzzzs during the day.
Take care Debbie
and good luck on weigh in

Glad today was a better day, my friend! I know it’s hard to keep going when you are trying to go with no sleep. I do remember those days!
