Daily Food Diary – Day 303 of 365

Today is Day 303 of my Daily Food Diary. 💝

For the past few weeks, I have been struggling to eat as well, or to eat less poorly, than I would hope to be doing at this point.  

From early September when I went through my latest round of antibiotics and Prednisone to the last few days when my allergies have been out of control, it seems that  there is always one thing or another.  My appetite is up, but my inclination to prepare nutritious meals or snacks is way down. 🙄

I am too close to finishing this 365 day Challenge to stop now, so I persist.  

Unfortunately….

Persistence is not enough. One must decide whether to persist as a sufferer or persist as a warrior.  –  author unknown

I thought of this quote earlier this morning when I took Molly for her morning walk.  It was just Molly and I and it didn’t start off well.   I was feeling pretty rough and Molly wasn’t feeling particularly co-operative. 

At first, I was hesitant to commit.  I walked her around our block.   I reluctantly, decided to keep going past our house and try for another block…and another.  Finally I reached a point where I either turned back or pushed out of my comfort zone and went the distance.

We went the distance!

Either way, it would have been a win.  Either way, it would have been a walk and some fresh air.   But with a change of attitude, we went the distance and that felt pretty empowering today!

Now, I just have to warrior up in the kitchen and get my diet on track.   😊
