I feel badly for not posting my weekly update sooner.
But in my defense Sunday night was spend curled up in a ball on my living room floor, being unable to move because of the excruciating pain my stomach was in.
I was still feeling some sharp pains yesterday, but I've only experienced one sharp pain so far today!
So I'm hoping that's over. For good.
I did the challenges! I decided that since I am already very strict about my water intake, I would also keep a food diary. This was a challenge a while ago, and I did it for that week, but didn't keep up with it. At all.
So, it was a good exercise. But I still don't think I'll keep up with it :-P

Guys, I love Netflix. I watch stuff a lot. Especially their documentaries.
Michael and I have learned tons about health from said documentaries. Recently we watched one about stress. And man, that stuff really messes with you.
One thing I thought you would all find interesting (and will maybe help with losing weight) is that when you are stressed your body changes the way you gain weight.
For example, if someone normally gains weight pretty evenly throughout their body, when they get stressed it goes mostly to the stomach area. Interesting, huh?
Also when you're stressed it is harder for your body to lose weight.
It also affects the way you age. If you are stressed, in one year your body can look (and physically change) as if you have aged 6 years!
So, I know I've talked a lot about stress lately, but it's just so important for us to find ways to relieve that stress, and avoid getting even more stressed.
I hope you found that interesting too!
But don't worry, I'll stop talking about stress now :-)
By the way, you are all doing awesomely!

Stress is a killer (in more ways than one!) It is definitely something I need to work on more!
Which Documentary was the stress one? I want to see it!
It's one of the National Geographic ones, it's called "Stress: Portrait of a Killer"
It's very good :)
