I went to the Doctor and it turns out I'm not sick, it's just bad allergies. So I'm taking four different allergy medications :( . Also I don't know if I mentioned this before but sometimes I screw up on the numbering of the days, so sometimes you may see two entries with the same day number and sometimes you'll see one that looks like I skipped a day.

Luckily I'm feeling better, I wasn't as stuffed up as I was.
 
I'm glad you're not as stuffy Matt. Be careful that the medications don't interact with one another. I'm having to use Rhinecort at the moment as my allergies play up in Autumn. There's a lot of burning off happening before Winter sets in & the air is quite smoky. You are only meant to use nasal sprays for a short time & then have a 2-week break. I have been doing that & it's noticeable that I need to start using it again. My nose is SO itchy.
I'm worse in Autumn than I am in Spring. It's crazy really. Glad your symptoms are better :)

Thanks! Yeah I was worried but the nurse at the Little Clinic assured me they would not interact. I'm using Flonase and only when needed.

If the format of this entry looks weird it's bc I'm writing it from my phone. I overslept yesterday so I didn't have time to make breakfast, and I could only walk my dog for about 5 minutes (which she hated).

Wow I went crazier than I ever have. I'm going to try my darndest to scale back a little even on cheat days b/c this is ridiculous. Also I haven't ggotten a chance to walk as much b/c it's been raining all week.
 
I am 174lb now, but two years ago was 145lbs.

One banana, a little bit of soy milk, and a handful or two of frozen fruit(the bag I get is mixture of blackberries, cherries, red currants, black burrtants, and blueberries) in the blender. It makes a thicker smoothie, reminds me of gelato ice cream. I would then put a handful of granola on top. That breakfeast really helped.

I didn't lose a lot of weight until I ran every day until I was soaked in sweat, but healthy eating and smaller portions is a big turning point.

Think about it this way, yes, you are use to eating a lot, but your body can and will eat the fat you already have stored. Try to eat smaller portions to give your body time to burn the fat you have accumulated.

I'll have to try the smoothie. I have a blender but I haven't used it in YEARS. I'm not sure if it still works lol.
