It took me a few hours to wake up this morning, but I was able to concentrate and get in a few hours of research on maternal psychosis.

I also took time to think about how I want the rest of this year to go, because I’ve felt a loss of control over reaching daily goals. Really need to get back on track and achieve my daily goals so that I feel like I have a sense of control over things in my life.

Struggling with mental health issues is often exhausting, and I just need to focus and work on what is important to me right now.

Today, I also made some health decisions, after much thought. I was doing really great on a largely vegetarian diet that was also dairy free. I’m going back to that. I will still eat meat, but just not as regularly. I do eat salmon; I like to make it in a very hot oven and crisp it up. This weekend, I’m supposed to make jambalaya for my family. Planning to focus on mostly shrimp with some andouille sausage. I’ll probably post that here on the blog this weekend.

I really want to feel better so that I can focus on goals that are important to me. Going back to a healthier diet and making myself exercise for a minimum of 20 minutes a day should help get me to a good place physically and mentally.

Well, I should get back to work. I want to get some more research done and fit in some exercise. I haven’t been very hungry today. Made some scrambled eggs and just picked at them. I know I need to eat something because I’m taking vitamin D and my multivitamin in a few minutes. Don’t really feel like eating but the multivitamin makes me feel sick to my stomach if I don’t eat something first. I have some cajun seasoned pinto beans in the fridge, along with some brown jasmine rice. Not too excited about it. I’m just not hungry.

Thanks for reading. I hope to post more this weekend about what I’ve been reading and the recipe for jambalaya.
