Day 96 - Depressed???? Correction Day 97

Have always wanted monday to be a rest day. But went for a run which turned into a 2 mile walk because legs started to hurt (hadn't had a proper breakfast/lunch, just cookies and junk, returned hungry) - went because won't be able to workout tomorrow.

Was exhausted, sleepy and low all day long yesterday. Slept for 8 hours yesterday so that would wake up fresh. Didnt help. All I did today was lay on the couch and eat a lot of cookies. Slept for 1 hr in the evening. Didnt go for a walk but went outside to run an errand. Returned, cleaned my kitchen which was a huge mess and now am feeling much better.

I dont know, I think it is because I am not sleeping enough, not resting enough, not eating right or simply bcos my obese body needs a rest day after 2 workout days???????? don't know.....
