GBE2 Blog Challenge Day Three

Day 03: Something with which you struggle

I have chronic fatigue syndrome.  I got a case of mono that nearly killed me when I was 17, and ever since then fatigue is what I will deal with every day of my life.  The thing that really sucks is that the fatigue gets worse the older I get.  When I get my period I have a tendency to just sleep all day  the first day I get it and it sucks.

 Given the fact that I really did not eat well at all for the last half of last year, I'm really trying hard to fill my body with what will give me energy and keep my immune system as strong as possible.

Feel free to add a link to your blog or your entry for today in the comments!  I try to respond to everyone as much as I can!

GBE2 One Month Challenge: Day Two

Day 02: Something you regret not having done last year.

There's only one thing I regret not having done last year, and that is that I didn't keep up with my workout regimen.  It caused me to lose energy, and the more energy I lost, the worse my eating habits got.  It really proved to me once and for all how exercise and a good diet is really connected to your overall mental health.  I felt more stable back when I was exercising and living by the 80/20 rule (eat healthy 80% of the time, treat yourself 20% of the time).  I need to get back to that.

I have a Zumba game for my Xbox 360 Kinnect and I need to start using that a couple times a week and knock it off with the soda and the junk food.  

I can't believe it's May already.  Time for me to really turn this year around for the better.
