And the funk returns… I don’t know what’s going on with me lately but I am not diggin this. I am really tired today and I just don’t feel like myself. I had absolutely no motivation to get out of bed this morning and go workout so, I didn’t. I’m having a hard time getting excited about my workouts, I don’t think I’m making the best food choices and guess what? I gained last week. Less than a pound, but still – wrong direction, tonto. I just read a weight loss success story and the lady was emphasizing how important it is to battle your emotional demons before you attempt to tackle your physical weight loss issues and I don’t think I’ve quite defeated mine, or I’ve developed new ones. I’m just really unhappy with a lot of things right now and I’m trying to just ignore it and push past it, but it’s totally dragging me down. Unfortunately, nothing is an easy fix and I’m having some trouble deciding which way to turn… But, again, I suppose I’m the only one that can fix it so I just need to handle my business.
Anyway, weekend recap:
Friday – I was scheduled to do a bunch of weighted jump squats but my knee was still sore from the minor twisting incident on Thursday so I decided to skip the squats and I just did a superset of pushups and crunches (10 rounds of reps, increasing from 1 to 10) Food was typical during the day and we went to a Mediterranean restaurant for dinner where I had a ‘sandwich’ of stuffed grape leaves and hummus wrapped in a pita, and also a couple pieces of falafel on the side.
Saturday – knee was still bothering me when I woke up so I decided to not do my long run. Not happy about it but still confident in my decision as I think it will benefit me more in the long run. Granola breakfast, leftover hummus and veggies for lunch and more hummus, stuffed grape leaves and baba ghannoush for dinner. I went out with some friends Saturday night and drank vodka tonics all night..
Sunday – did pretty much nothing! Basically the only thing I ate all day was MORE hummus and some chips and salsa and then I ordered Chinese for dinner and had mixed veggies with steamed rice.
And now it’s Monday!

I made some homemade hummus yesterday! It was the first time I’ve ever made it and it needs some tweaking but I’m still excited about it! And it will be way less expensive to just make my own than it is to buy it pre-made so Branden should be happy about that lol. I’m kind of on a Mediterranean kick right now and I really want to make some stuffed grape leaves. I actually bought a jar of leaves a long time ago but I’ve never attempted to make them… hopefully soon!
That’s about all I have for today. I’d appreciate any positive vibes/thoughts/prayers that you may have to spare! Hopefully I’ll be back to myself again VERY soon.
Scianara.
