After a few days of not sleeping I decided to stick with my old standby method - fall asleep on the sofa and stay there. I instructed hubby not to disturb me and managed about 7 hours sleep.
So why do I still feel so shitty? When I wake up to an alarm I feel sick for about an hour afterwards. My head is booming too - though I have been trying to drink more water it's clearly not enough! In order to get going and keep on track with SW I know I need to eat breakfast but ugh, I just feel so gross. I sm staring at an apple right now and the thought of it hurts my teeth.
Plus I know I have tons of chores to do today and I must get in my third 'run' for the week. Really all I want to do is get in my bed. I know other people have a lot more to cram into their day and this is where I start to feel guilty about being tired and unmotivated. But thats not helpful is it?
For me, one step at a time is good enough. So. I shall take my meds and take my time. Wake up gently. Get a good breakfast. Then start my chores - gently. I will keep drinking water and in the afternoon I will do my run.
I will also try to do some prep for tomoro and then Sunday will be a beautiful relaxed day in a clean and tidy flat. That's the plan.
Update: 12.30
It took 2 hours to come round. I ate a chopped apple with fat free vanilla yoghurt and a sprinkle of granola. I felt sick. But then I started to feel better :)
I have put in a load of washing, washed some pots, and most awesomely - I just made SW coleslaw. This may seem a trivial thing to many but I hate veg and for me to make something that involves carrots, cabbage, preparation, cleaning and low fat is a huge achievement! And it tastes great. Riding a happy wave ~~~~ woop!
Though I must admit I am now STARVING.
Update: 7pm
I chilled on the sofa after a lovely omelette and beans made by hubby. I almost dozed of but roused myself for a bit more housework and now I am pooped! I haven't run today and I feel a bit guilty but after the burst of awesomeness this morning I have slid back down to lazy town. We had a super healthy dinner of tuna salad and jack pots planned but the potatoes are all green! So we're going for pasta n sauce with sausages and a fruit salad to follow. It's not exciting but it is filling.
