I came here prepared to author a post for "Peeves & Pleasures Thursday" but found that, despite the abundance of good things in my life, I could only come up with peeves. So allow me to indulge in self pity for a brief moment instead. (If you have your own real drama and suffering in your life, feel free to skip this post.)
- I woke up with a headache again today, and it has continued into the afternoon, despite doses of Excedrin, a pumpkin spice latte, and a diet Coke. Granted, it's not a migraine (thank goodness), but this frickin' sinus congestion that I can't seem to shake, over a week later, has made me have a headache more days than not the past week. Ugh.
- I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I don't know how people with allergies live with this congestion all the time! I am back to sleeping (mostly) through the night, but am still waking up tired. I sound funny, and I feel worse.
- Despite my congestion and general feelings of ickiness, I continue to eat crap. I can't remember the last time a vegetable (other than tomato, potato or lettuce) passed my lips. Even last night at Red Lobster, when faced with numerous more healthful choices, I ordered a plate composed nearly entirely of deep-fried foods. I've eaten more cheese over the past week than I care to think about. WTF is wrong with me?
- Because I feel like crap, I haven't been to the gym in two weeks. I haven't even walked the dogs in a week. (Don't worry about them; MM walks them almost every evening, even if I don't.) I have zero energy and zero motivation.
- Thanks to missing a day of work on Monday (due to my cold) and sub-par concentration on the other three days this week, I am already behind on my billable hours for October, and it's only the 8th. Good times.
- Did I mention I don't feel well? And isn't funny how when you don't feel well, nothing else seems to matter?
We all have those days (weeks, years) and they suck.
ReplyDeleteI haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks, it will be scary. I don't know why we don't change what we know needs to be changed. Fear? But of what? I'm afraid of the loose skin that will left over. LOL!
I had to go to the doctor last week. I weighed in at 10 lbs heavier than at my check-up 8 weeks after Norah was born. Um, that is just WRONG. So, what did I do? Did I have a salad for lunch or work out? Nope, I sat on the couch feeling sorry for myself and ate 4 mini-Twix bars. I don't know what the answer is--I wish I did. Just know that you aren't alone!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I hope you feel better soon. It is so hard to pull yourself out of a rut when you feel like crap. Maybe the cooler weather will bring you some relief.
ReplyDeleteYo! I tagged you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are feeling like crap! I think that's a natural tendancy when you aren't feeling well - head for the comfort food. Broiled flounder with lemon just doesn't taste good when you have a cold.
