So, tonight didn't go well, but I know why. I have been neglecting the most important thing and not getting enough sleep. I have only been getting about 4 hours a night, except on the weekends, for a number of reasons and it was affecting me at work (shitty attitude) and at home (no motivation). SO, tonight I might have broken down and bought McDonald's, but it was only because I fell asleep as soon as I got home at 630 and slept til 10:30 pm. Now my sleep routine is going to be even more off the mark because I won't go back to bed til probably 2 or 3 in the morning 
Self care is so important in all aspects of our lives. How was I missing the fact that I was not sleeping properly? I have to take better care of me if I want to climb out of this depression I am in.

Self care is so important in helping to break depression, but it's also so bloody hard. But you can do it @Ineluki The first step is realising how what you need to do and how important it is, so you've nailed that.
I was so tired last night I fell asleep without checking in here. Yesterday wasn't particularly good. I was busy at work again so only got in a short walk and didn't get to 8000 steps.
Food wise- I ate nothing for breakfast, some pop chips, olives and a yogurt for lunch, a couple of last biscuits for an afternoon snack and a vegetable omelette for dinner. That wasn't too bad but it all went a bit wrong in the evening again, like it often does for me!! I had a couple of glasses of wine and felt hungry so had 4 mini corn on the cob. I guess it's not as bad as having chocolate but still unhealthy because I put butter on them.
I will do better today.
On the plus side, I did drink quite a lot of water

I had a great day today, walked around a lot (i'm counting that as exercise) had a lunch of a wholemeal sandwich, pineapple, strawberries and a yogurt and ocean pie for dinner. No water but I am doing the best I can
What do you drink? It's something I struggle with. I don't enjoy water - I drink as much of it as I can because I know I should but it's boring. But I don't know what else to drink that isn't packed with sugar (I don't tend to drink diet drinks as I don't like aspartame)
I've had a pretty good day today. I didn't have breakfast, just coffee. For lunch I just had some pop chips and for dinner I had chicken with courgettes, spinach and tomato.
I went for a 5 mile walk and did some sit ups and leg raises.
On the down side, I've only drunk about 750 ml of water and I've just poured my second gin and tonic.

Ah, thank you so much for reminding me to get popchips 
You have had an awesome day hun. wow @ 5 miles.
Keep it up girl and you'll reach your dreams.
Eating healthily and sensible, no specific plan at all, just going with the flow and eating as healthy as possible, when possible, where possible. I know if I put my mind to it, track what I eat and exercise I will get where I want to be. I have motivation right now which is really high - lets hope it stays that way
