Well, sigh, not the best way that my day could have started…I missed yoga class due to an unavoidable errand and my Mom went to the Dr. for some stress/sinus/who the hell knows illness. She is an excitable creature (my Mom that is) and she is the poster child for what stress and worry can do to your body.
I caved and succumbed to temptation while I was on my errand and got a coffee and *gasp* a donut even. It was good and I don’t even feel particularly guilty so I am moving on like nothing happened. I plan to unload the groceries and do some laundry and see what else I am up for as far as exercise today.
I am attempting to quit weighing myself so much. I think that for some people it is the tool they need to keep on track and I think that I do need to weigh regularly, but I think that more often than not I use weighing as a way to punish myself when I eat something I know is going to make the scale jump. *Reminder to myself* MY BODY IS NOT MY ENEMY!!! Why is that so hard for me to remember? I have to find a way to work with my body, not against it, and I will get to all of my goals!
I had crashing fatigue yesterday and actually ended up in bed at 6pm. I was up this morning at 5:30 and feeling pretty good but I still feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe it is the already warming days…heat makes me feel so lethargic… I swear, I am the opposite of all those people that gain weight in the winter… Fall and winter makes me energized! I really hate being different sometimes….
Hi Raven, Thanks for your very kind comments on my blog. I like your writing! Just for the record, I know what you mean about feeling energised in cooler weather while drooping in the hot weather. Both my mom and I experience the same feeling. This year and last year I’m really trying to ride the warmer weather out and maybe even embrace it. Also, I sometimes “crash” with fatigue like that and hit the sack way early, and it helps me.
April 23, 2008 @ 11:55 pmTake care and have a wonderful day. I’m up earlier than I have to be - taking my dog to the vet at 8:45, but I heard her start panting really hard just now, and it woke me up all the way. Good idea about the family blog. RubyJean
