Morning all.
Value eves and Ewan, I'm also feeling down. Started my period today and have had sore boobs the last week.
Having a few days of can't be bothered-ness at the moment. That includes eating. I have been making or preparing myself something to eat everyday since starting on bootcamp. I've been eating mostly chicken in terms of food but have never really liked it and am getting bored of it. Fr the last couple of days, even spreading cheese onto ham has let like too much effort.
I am a stay at home mum. The house is a mess. DP was away for 4 nights last week so I think I'm just tired. I'm always tired though and I wake up feeling more tired so the cycle keeps going on. My dc are 5 and 3 and really fun most of the ime but my 5 year old won't do as she's told unless I shout at her. She can make herself cry at nothing and I'm sick of my own voice, as from the time I get up to the time I go o bed, there's always something going on. I do suffer with anxiety/stroke depression.
Funnily though, I am not tempted to reach for sweet food, or comfort food which used to help me feel slightly, erm, comforted. That is a big improvement, but I haven't yet felt the whole feeling energised thing. I know that's probably down to not eating properly.
Does anyone have any tips for those days when you can't be bothered? I do manage to get my kids sorted but that is about all I can manage.
Also, any tips for getting to sleep better? I find it difficult to switch off at night. My DC don't often go too bed too early and I don't like to eat until they do, so often it gets late and like I say I don't have the energy to bother.
Anyway, sorry to be such a gloomy cow, but I thought I'd ask for help here, not about the food side of things but more about how you all cope if and when you have weeks days like this.
Many thanks.
