I've been really struggling for the last two days. I've stuck to my points despite having a cheeseburger for lunch yesterday (that hurt points wise but I made up for it by having only a zero points salad for dinner). I have discovered that unfortunately during TTOTM I crave foods that are high in sugar, high in fat and in general just aren't that good for you at all! It seems ridiculous that it has taken me 28 years to figure that out but I've never been more acutely aware of what I am putting in my mouth as I have been for the last two weeks.

On top of that I get excessive period pain and bloat badly so I'm feeling pretty crappy at the moment and just can not find the motivation to get up and get to the gym. I know I should, I know the scales will be more kind and I will feel better for having done my exercise for the day but how do you get up and put one foot in front of the other when you are struggling to even get out of bed?

I think I'm going to just lay low today, stick to my points and try to do some work on the Wii Fit later this evening when my body finally gets moving. It isn't ideal and it may come back to bite me but until I can find a better way of dealing with this time of the month, it's all I've got.
