Laura' date=' I'm proud of you for not giving up!! That's something!

I think I've found the culprit. I got really bored with my foods and bought some smart ones meals and a smart ones dessert and maybe a real dessert. 0_o

I have felt depressed, unmotivated and like my endurance is lacking since I've started eating those things. Gonna have to stop processed foods. I know that anyway. I'm ashamed that they have made their way into my diet again anyway.i feel like I'm derailing a bit because I'm seriously over meat and cheese. :/

Gonna spin off on that topic.[/quote']

Be careful with those smart one meals. Even though they are yummy ( used to really love the Thai noodle myself), they are infested with salt. However, if it keeps you motivated, then it is not the worst choice. Oh and do not get me started on the smart one chocolate chip cookie dough sundae. Mmm. I lost serious weight in the past eating those two things 7 days a week for dinner. Oops, I am not supposed to promote that type of eating... :)

Rofl fiddle! I chose the peanut butter cup sundae this time. And yes, two at a time. Those servings are tiny even for sleevie! I had two after my wog last night instead of the yogurt I'd planned (you know, healthy after exercise protein and carb) sigh. God isn't finished with me yet. ;)

I know, so much sodium! I do have healthy meals too, to *kindof* counter balance all the unnatural in the meals. I also got jimmy dean light breakfast sandwich things for days I'm feeling blah about plain ole eggs. They're pretty yummy but I feel guilty eating them.

Sorta. 0.0

Retread what you wrote. I see that you had a meal and a dessert for dinner, not two desserts for dinner. Lol

Edited, because eh.... What do I know! :P

I'm still fat :o

On that not I'm going to run now! Talk soon guys :)

Holy crap!!! O.O

Holy crap!!! O.O

Yeah, holy crap squared. :) I cannot pronounce 1/2 of those ingredients. The old saying is that if you cannot pronounce something in the ingredient list you should not be eating it. In my opinion only...just kidding. I can pronounce most of that stuff.

Lmao!!!

Ok running now!

Can't hear you!

Laura, you motivate me!!

Laura' date=' you motivate me!![/quote']

That works both ways :)

Ok did it!! It was a tad bit easier today still has sweet dripping everywhere but I felt my stride a bit more.

I also had music blaring in my ears.. My beloved radiohead and somehow some of my daughters death metal ended up on my playlist....

It was kinda nice running while listening to someone who sounded like the devil screaming in my ear! :o:P

Whoa! Weird experience.. I got up and almost blacked out and stumbled into a wall?

Sometime I get dizzy if I stand up (after surgery)

But this was a whole New level!

You need to eat more. If you are running on a 5:2 fasting day, watch out. :) also check that you are drinking enough water and that you are sucking down electrolytes in the form of Gatorade, coconut juice or something else. Are you eating a recovery shake after the run?

No fasting today... But I haven't had much yet and I don't think I hydrated very well so I'm working in that now.

Scary stuff!

No shake but I think I will now!

And drink more too.

I went through this a while ago. Had every test medical science could devise. Bottom line though was I needed to add more electrolytes to my water, and drink more. I've always been a food tracker, but after that I started tracking my water and found I wasn't drinking as much as I thought. Once I upped it I had no more problems. Now, on the rare occasion it happens, it's a day where my water intake is way down.
