Journey to abs

I've honestly been avoiding coming on here and thinking about diet lately and most other things, retreating into my shell again. I've been eating on average a little under maintenance the past two days that i missed. Last night i couldn't sleep (and i still havn't slept with work in an hour), i'm trying to improve my melody writing so i ended up making this little thing on the piano so i at least did something productive with my lack of sleep:
I'm back feeling a little more refreshed, sort of. No damage done from taking time off from this but i'm promising myself to not run away again for a while now, enough breaks. I'm adding daily light therapy to my list of stuff to do, i have a light that's supposed to help with depression but i never use it, using it regularly should help. I've kept my caffeine consumption under control while I've been away, so no worries on that front.
Baby steps.

I think focussing on eating healthily also helps to improve your mood. I know it does mine anyway. I try not to look on food & exercise as a weight thing. To me, it's more about treating myself well- nurturing myself. My sister used light therapy for her depression, but probably not often enough. I find getting outside in the fresh air helps me & I also take Vitamin D. Winter can really get me down, as can worrying about the people I love. I'm also up tonight with Insomnia. It sucks, but I decided to catch up with the diaries I missed during the day.
Take care of yourself & don't feel you need to hide from us. We're all trying to improve our health & we all have that in common.
