I’m feeling a bit down as we speak. I used to be simply studying again over final week’s low carb diary and love how optimistic and affected person I’ve been via this entire ordeal, being principally handicapped for the previous yr. I actually recognize these of you which have caught this out with me too… quite a bit. 💕
What to do once you’re having a foul day…
I’ll share some meals footage & updates with you too (under) however I believed this was a superb subject for us to debate, given how widespread it’s to “stress eat” or flip to meals once you’re having a foul day. Not that it ever makes something higher, which took me a very long time to study. 🤪
These are just a few random ideas, in no specific order, however I hope you discover them useful…
Notice that it’s JUST a tricky morning, or a tough day – not a foul life. It’s simple to let your thoughts spiral down a rabbit gap. Reel it again in!
Return to mattress. 🙂 I personally suppose that’s a wonderfully acceptable response to a sh*t day!
Remind your self what’s GOOD and give attention to the stuff you’re grateful for in your life.
I do attempt to give attention to the nice factors, and remind myself something exhausting or dangerous often passes fairly fast, or does go finally, or get simpler a minimum of. But it surely’s not about compelled “optimistic pondering” or making an attempt to withstand unfavorable ideas. However relatively…
Settle for what’s, then determine how to answer it and/or what to do about it.
Not every little thing may be “mounted.” Generally you simply get up in a funk and it’s a matter of getting via the day or working via a temper. I are likely to go on autopilot: simply do the issues, or do nothing, and journey it out.
Senseless duties assist like dishes, laundry, cleansing out a drawer or closet, or at work: switching to bookkeeping or knowledge entry vs inventive work.
Higher but, discover one thing to try this makes you HAPPY or warms your soul!
I can’t actually do a lot as we speak, however I did take my large goofy canine for a brief journey within the automotive with the home windows down for some contemporary air, simply a few miles and down by the dam to have a look at the river and benefit from the sound of water for a couple of minutes. 🥰
Or typically I’ll pop on-line, and discover another person to help or encourage. It solely takes a couple of minutes and I can do this on my cellphone from wherever.
There’s at all times somebody on the market having a good more durable day than you (or me), and I discover that at all times helps me put issues in perspective. ✅ Plus the act of doing or saying one thing form is an effective way to take the main target off your self and your individual ideas or points.
If it’s one thing that REALLY has me wound up or bothered, journaling is my go-to. One in every of my favourite journal prompts is the “Worse Case State of affairs” – as a result of it’s by no means as dangerous because it appears in your head. Or whether it is, simply placing it on the paper or display screen in entrance of you is a very nice method to kind it out.
There’s nothing new or horrible happening in my life, by the way in which. Simply the same old. I’m presently on day 8 of covid, on prime of nonetheless managing Lengthy Covid Dysautonomia from having it in 2020. I’m doing fairly okay all issues thought-about – simply worn out, and sick of being sick. 🙃
That snack plate ^ seems to be nice, doesn’t it?
I haven’t had a lot of an urge for food this week, however that image from a catered occasion a couple of years in the past crossed my display screen the opposite day – and I’ve been craving it ever since. 😋 I like finger meals!

I misplaced my sense of odor yesterday, or possibly the day earlier than. I’m not fairly certain precisely when that occurred really. I can nonetheless style, however simply barely. Not an enormous deal actually, however I’ll say… bacon is form of an odd meals if you happen to can’t style it or odor it. 🤔
That’s what I had yesterday: bacon & eggs. 🍳🥓
In any other case I’ve simply type of been snacking right here and there, or having a protein bar if I really feel a bit of hungry (or must take meds).
Fact: I largely simply picked out the salty pecans. These are my favourite. 🙃
Ooh – I had a Pineapple Pork Stick the opposite day too. 🍍 These are SO good. And I ate that earlier than I misplaced style & odor, lol – yum! In case you haven’t tried Roam Sticks from Singing Pastures, I extremely advocate these! (and I don’t even like meat sticks often)
Hmm, the opposite evening I had rooster thighs with roasted broccoli:
I really feel like I’m lacking a day, however I’m fading quick. I actually haven’t been consuming that a lot to date this week. I did eat half a protein bar earlier as we speak, and had the total plate of bacon & eggs yesterday.
I’m pondering tonight I’ll have fried smoked sausage with steamed broccoli, or possibly grilled rooster with roasted broccoli. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to work up an urge for food. 😉

Talking of, I actually love including that Excellent Keto black cherry electrolyte powder to the BodyArmor Lyte watermelon or tropical coconut – then pouring it over crushed ice. 🍉🍒
