Well, this sucks. I totally don’t feel like myself and I don’t like what I see in the mirror. I have no idea how much I weigh right now, I haven’t been able to weigh-in in over 2 weeks (mom’s scale broke and I haven’t had time to go buy one). I still haven’t been to the gym since LAST WEDNESDAY(!) and I skipped my run again this morning due to a non-sleeping child. (I can’t leave if she’s awake, she’ll lose her mind) Looking in the mirror, I feel like my face looks puffy and I really don’t like it! My eating habits haven’t changed much, I certainly am sticking to veganism, but I just don’t feel good about things right now. As much as I love this season, I can’t wait to get back into my normal routine. I really am going to make an effort to get to the gym as soon as I can. I also need to go buy some cold weather running pants so I can go outside and not freeze to death when I run… but then there’s the fact that Christmas is around the corner and I should be spending available funds on presents and what-not so yeah.. Bleh. Sorry, if you were looking for a motivational ray of light, I apologize that I’m not that beacon today!
A friend did tell me yesterday that I motivated her to make some changes in her life and she had started going back to the gym… that makes me feel so wonderful to hear that but at the same time kind of hypocritical considering I haven’t been in over a week! I know this is just a small bump in the road (like I’ve had before), it’s just incredibly frustrating, especially when I was doing so well and progressing with my running and everything.
Beyond the lack of exercise, there are a lot of things stressing me out in my personal life right now that is really dragging me down. My old habits are creeping up and all I want to do is DRINK and drink a lot, but I’m keeping my mind straight and not doing anything stupid in that regard…
Oh well, tomorrow is another day, right?
Dinner last night was yummy! I made roasted veggies w/ brown Basmati rice… super simple and tasty. I roasted zucchini, daikon, red onion, red bell pepper, brussel sprouts and craisins that had been tossed in EVOO garlic and fine sea salt. Yum!!

Well that’s about all I have for today… I’m just feeling really self conscious and needy right now lol… how annoying is that? Hear that husband? I need attention! Lol Hopefully this funk leaves me soon and I can feel like myself again. I know exercise will help tremendously so I just need to fix this sleeping problem so I can get back to waking up early in the AM..
Alright… until tomorrow! (hopefully?)
I'll give you attention girl! You're great! You'll get out of this and be back to normal in no time. Just read over your old blogs, you've come so far! :)
