It is awesome that you're incorporating eggs into your menu! That protein is so good for you.

Kudos too for the pork! And cucumber! I adore cucumber .

Lisa,

I had a few there where I had a huge craving for fried eggs. It was going away Wednesday but on Master Chef they made a lot of those so I had to make some after the show.

I'm still planning on eating better. I did buy a box of those disgusting chewable calciums this week just in case I don't start eating better soon (theres someone i know who takes [even likes them] so if i dont take any or theres some left ill give it to her). I know I've been saying this for a while, I'm so lazy now that doing something (anything really...only watching Shumi the 3 years he was back was easy for me) is hard for me.

It's very true that the more we sink into a depression or lethargy, the harder it is to climb out of it. Many people who are out of work fall into this trap. Your brain gets used to the lethargy and begins to think that it's just not possible to do anything else.

That's why little steps are so key. The little steps help show your brain that progress can be made. It builds up the confidence and energy levels to try for that next step.

Eating well is definitely a base key. If your brain doesn't have nutrition, it can't function well. It becomes sluggy. It's hard to do things when your mind is in a fog. I definitely find in my own life that I can have a day full of energy - or a day where I can barely get off the couch - based on the food I eat. There are some foods that just sap my will to live.

For calcium, I eat Tums orange chewables. To me those are tasty.
