As some of you know, I have been dealing with some seriously heavy emotional baggage along with my best friends due to recently losing her grandmother to liver cancer. It sucks so damn bad. She is angry and there were so many people w ho could have helped her that simply chose not to, because of that I have been away dealing with her and trying the best I can and I have been wAY WAY off of my diet. I have been able to focus on not ingesting a lot of sugar though. I still have not touched a single soda, aI still haven't eaten a single piece of candy, it will be 4 weeks now so I'm happy with that. but the time right now is so bittersweet, I am having trouble keeping up with my meals, some days I eat nearly nothing while others I eat a meal from Dunkin Donuts, only to find out I just chugged 1000 calories worth of food. Mind you it's JUST a sandwich, hash browns, a donut and a drink. Stay away from Dunkin donuts people, it has high everything. Anyway; I am going to try and focus on getting back on track, I haven't done any workouts this week, I kept up with walking though so I haven't been completely idle other than helping my bestie. Wish me luck. I'm moving forward, getting my head back in the game now that bestie has gone back home down south.

Oh man. today was such a rough day guys. Yes, I did my workouts but my eating was so bad today. The past two days have been so emotional I have been finding it hard to say no. I snacked and ate a slice of pizza(BAD! PIZZA EVIL!). My best friend of about 14 years lost her grandmother yesterday, and though she and I often bumped heads because of our opposing views she was still like a grandmother to me. Watching my best friend go through this loss is so, so hard because I know if I was in her shoes I would be struggling if not as much, harder and I feel like I am helpless in this friggin situation. SMH I don't know what to tell her or what to do for her. It's driving me mad. The workouts helped me focus on something different to shove my frustration on. The burn was so intense, much more than it has ever been and I have not changed anything. My sleep was a bit better last night I got 9 hours(yay to that) but the emotional roller coaster saps so much of my energy, I wound up intaking too many calories(I think. I have not totaled them yet I'll do it when I wake up in the morning.)
I have also been doing better with water, I even got all of my servings of fruit today, every day of this week so far actually, so knowing i have achieved something is helping me stay from slumping to low, but this has hit us so hard it's mind blowing. She was one of those people we never thought of losing.

I know I missed my journal yesterday, I'm so bad at keeping track of these things. Ok so, the urge to snack is still strong, but I have been able to substitute bad sugary, oily snacks with healthy things! I am surprised at how much it seems to be helping. I was thinking back to a few weeks ago, before I started this new journey, how I would get a hold of a bag of chips and would eat them one by one, only to realize once what I'm doing at the time is over with that I ate half of the bag. I would be so ashamed of myself, but now something like grapes, or blueberries, celery(blech) even.I hated celery for a very long time, all of my life; still do actually but it has made such a difference lately.
l, that is until creepy the unknown critter decided to bite me and cause a friggin allergic reaction. LOL I have no idea what bit me on the chest but while I was doing my workout Tuesday I felt an itch and decided to scratch pausing for a moment during my workout and felt something crush under my fingers. HOW GROSS! anyway, 30 minutes later I'm ending my work and its intensely itching, next thing I know I look in the mirror and there is this huge patch of hives on my chest, I freaked out so bad because I had no idea what it was that bit me. Thinking on it i think the workout may have either made it work by quickening my blood circulation, or lessened the intensity of the venom's effect because i was working out and burning hot, I metabolized it quicker. I dont know but it was freaky. Lol
Also, The Autumn Burn is going surprisingly well for me right now. Grant it, we are only 4 days in, but I have been able to stick to the schedule. I expected myself to play hooky, or half-ass it all together but /I am staying motivated, especially since my husband has been so supportive, which has not been in the past of me trying to lose weight.
Lastly, I'm having big trouble with trying to sleep, it is so weird, like all summer, and fall thus far I have been getting 8-10 hours of sleep, then like the day The Autumn Burn started I just couldn't get to sleep. It's insane. I have had no sleeping issues whats so ever for almost 6 months straight then bam, I lied down Monday night and just couldn't get to sleep. I lay in the dark for 3 hours...3 hours.

Ugh! The urge to snack is so strong right now! I'm resisting, I'm resisting hard and I'll be damned if I'm gonna lose! It's so hard, me want ice cream , me want cake, me want junk food on a plate!
LMFAO That's probably not helping or maybe it is? As I typed it I'm like "why would you want junk?". OH but I'm proud of myself, on the other hand, I have had no soda, NO SODA, NOT EVEN JUICE! in three weeks. THREE WEEKS! XD I didn't even realize I hadn't had any until I looked at the calendar and saw where I marked " No more sugary drinks for you" I haven't had one, NOT a single one I'm so happy and proud of myself!! Now, I have been drinking Xing tea I believe it's called, I think that what's kept me from drinking the soda, it's pretty tasty, bitter at first but the more I drank it the tastier it got. Also, it seems like I'm sensitive to super sweet things now since I have been stopping myself from eating them. I had a little cookie earlier today and it was disgustingly sweet, it's almost like my taste buds are stopping me from making that mistake of "just one more."
