I do eat better than I have before. I enjoy my veggies and such that is not the biggest problem I have. I do sometimes say well they are just carrots I should be able to eat the whole bag. But that is not good either. I like allot of food(at once) and I need to work more on smaller portions. My down fall is I like to drink. So I limit that to one day a week and then not that much.
I exercise more also than I ever did and I find that it is a great way to release any
stress from the day. I walk/run after work when the weather is good. I should go in the rain but he weather in Maine is very cold when it rains. But that is just an excuse. I should go and be done with it instead of saying I will make up for it at a later date. That never works with exercising you have to do it everyday to make it count.
I think I realize now what my funk was. I have not been able to hike due to the bad weather. It has rained here for a week! Man that is depressing I am solar powered and I need sun!!! When I hike on Sundays it carries me thur the week. I build off of that. So today I hiked 6.5 miles (3 mountains) And now what ever was in my head that was asleep is now awake. I can't wait to go for my run tomorrow. I now believe that exercising is better than any pill they can give you for depression. Thanks to everyone and the advise I feel like I am ready to start phase 2 of my journey. Tina
