Moving forward when exhausted is hard!

Not been posting much so far as have had too many distractions:

- Parents visiting from the UK

- Christmas & New Year

- 1st Trimester exhaustion and nausea

and yes, I know these are all excuses, but I just dont feel up to coping with too much at once and wanted to acknowledge these as possible future barriers as:

- Parents will visit again

- Christmas, New Year and other celebrations happen all the time

- 1st trimester will turn into 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester and then a baby!

So, while yes these are excuses, I want to have that in mind going forward so I can work out a better plan of action to cope better in the future.

This means I havent been doing the warm up exercises. I havent been ignoring them! I've been taking them all in but its hard to fit in 30km a week when its hard enough to get home from work without falling asleep on the train! The water thing was fine as that is the main thing I drink anyway.

Now two exercises have come in that I can pay attention to:

1) Write down everything you eat

2) How much do you spend on food

I like the second one especially as we are looking at going to one income soon with the baby and I want to save in every way possible without compromising our current lifestyle too much!

But even now, I'm struggling with those as I'm battling a massive headache. Seem to be getting them a bit at the moment which is quite rare for me. I assume its a mixture of either weather pressures and possible increases/shifts in hormones.

So, caved to take one paracetamol tablet and trying to drink as much as possible, I will battle on!

so, today's food diary so far: (if bought I will add cost)

Breakfast:

2 slices TipTop 9 grain bread with Devondale butter, Devondale Colby Cheese and Branston pickle from home

Water from home

Snack:

White knot bread roll with peanut butter ($1.70)

Large Granny Smith apple ($1.50)

500ml Ribena (cant remember exactly but about $3.50)

Lunch:

Sumo Salad small Warm Vietnamese chicken salad with balsamic dressing instead of Thai Dressing ($9.95)

Water from home

Not sure what is for dinner as we are going food shopping after work. Will check out some of my Michelle Bridges Recipes first so I have some clue on what to buy!

Will also try only to buy food (not other household items) so I can try and work out how much each meal costs! As well as better attempts to measure things like how much cheese so I can work out accurate calories too.

Also bought an exercise book so keep a written record of my eating, but will endeavour to update this as much as possible!
