Food or lack thereof

I'm starting to have to force myself to eat nowadays. I don't know what's up but I'm rarely hungry. I usually have to force myself to eat to make it over 1200 calories. I'm not sleeping well, usually have a headache when I get up, etc. It's probably just the stress catching up to me but I don't like it, not one bit.

I am really enjoying my Nutrition class. We had our second exam this morning and I only missed 1 out of 50 questions. Yay! :) This test was on lipids, proteins, vegetarianism and the digestive system. A few questions I had to make an educated "guess" on but I got them right. I'm learning a lot about health and what your body needs and that has helped keep me on track quite a bit.

I am getting burned out already with my food choices. Maybe that's why I'm not interested in eating much right now. I need to do some searching this weekend for new recipes and meal ideas. If anyone reads this and has a favorite breakfast, lunch or dinner I'd love for you to share with me! :)

Stress :(

My life has been stressful lately to say the least. It's nothing I want to share here but it's something serious and personal. I will say that I haven't turned to food to comfort me and that's a first. I am determined to be healthy and apparently that means nothing is going to stand in my way. I've even stuck with my exercise. Holy cow, what's gotten into me? Usually when life gets hard, exercise is first to go to the wayside and I eat everything and anything in sight.

My son had a birthday this week and of course everyone had cake and ice cream. I didn't even feel deprived by serving everyone and skipping it myself. It's my choice if I want a slice of cake but my will power was stronger than my desire for a sweet treat. I can't explain how awesome that felt.

I haven't had time to read up on this whole picture fiasco. I suppose I should find time to do that this weekend. Did I read that pictures are being required now? Anyone know when those are supposed to be turned in by?

October weigh in

I'm down 11.2 pounds this month. I'll take it!
