Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on October 29, 2014

Today was one of those days where I just wanted to put a frozen pizza in the oven, devour it, follow up with some ice cream, and finish the night with Netflix.

I didn't do any of that.

I still want to. But I decided calories wouldn't make me feel better. Especially after inputting them into MyFitnessPal to find out just how much damage we were talking.

Yeah... no.

What do you do when you're feeling down?

Hey drew we all have those days when we want to eat our feelings. When I wasn't healthy I would eat eat and eat because I thought it made me feel better. Now that I realize the damage it truly does when I'm down I exercise. I throw in Hip hop abs or some exercise dvd. Sometimes I even go for a walk in the park. Exercise usually works and makes me feel better afterwards.

Have it, but make it yourself and healthier :)
I ALWAYS have cravings for those things and its easy to give in, but then I remember there are so many recipes I can make with healthier foods!
This day will be done and tomorrow will come and those cravings will have been forgotten and tomorrow you wont feel so bad because you never had it.
Good luck! I know its tough, but you can do it :)

I take a long soaking bath. I light candles, put some lavender oil in the water and put my little stepstool by the tub and place my Kindle Fire on it. Then I set up a movie or show to watch. I can stay in the tub for an hour. More...if I didn't have too much water to drink beforehand. It's my own private little oasis! Soak your bad day a way. Then - off to bed early.

I just want to let you know I just got back from a 30 minute bubble bath session with an episode of Community. Your suggestion was right on the money. Japanese Cherry Blossom bubble bath. :)

Soaking bath with my Kindle Fire is my cure for everything. I like British detective stores. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm sorry you had a tough day!

I'm finding that I'm not as hungry when I am hydrated, so I'm on the couch in my favorite sweatpants with a glass of water and watching Greek. I'm about to start knitting.

I realize this is the opposite of what you probably need when you're feeling down. Go find a friend, preferably one who is bad at video games, so if you decide to play video games, you'll definitely win.

Tomorrow's going to be a good day!
