You haven't given up yet (and dammit, you won't start now). It’s that or lay down and die. Not ready for that, just yet. Zero week is going.....okay. Got 3 walks in so far. Yeaterday we jogged a lap, and it went surprisingly well. Body was fine!, it was the cardio that killed. I sucked so much wind it wasn’t even funny. We will likely walk today, making 4 for the week. He thinks we need to have a down day in the middle for body repair. I think that that’s what the weekend is for, but agree we need to avoid injury or burnout. Calories have been okay. I’ve come in under 1500 all week. Probably not the best choices, but the minute I say no to something is the minute I will die if I can’t have it. So I watch calorie count and eat what I want. Soda is my downfall, even though I only have 1 a week (20oz) usually. Trying to not is hard, cause I like it, dammit. Did buy some carbonated flavored sugar free water as a substitute..... Chores ~ I struggle with this. I am a messy person. I lean toward doing the minimum is I’m not careful. Trying to be better. Feeling low today. Comment was made yesterday that hurt my feelings. Was a valid statement, but delivered in a not so gentle way. Strangely, my hurt feelings seemed to piss him off, even though I did my best to let it go. So he woke with a bug up his butt this morning. I get all jangly feeling, and depressed. It’s getting better, but I don’t do feelings well. Tend to overdo. I’m a freaking twinkie, and smoosh easily. And I tend to lose my self worth quickly. Sorry/not sorry for the rambling thoughts. My brain is a pile of yarn, the tangled mess that pops out when you try to find the end....... 1 Quote Level -20 Zombie Princess "The only way to lose is to give up." -Tanktimus the Encourager "You can't beat someone that refuses to give up” -Björn Járnhamar Link to comment
shaar Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 In my experience, things like chores are SO HARD if you're just trying to mentally and emotionally survive the day. Like, cleaning up after myself when I'm in the pit? HA. Yeah, zero motivation for that. Like I just can't be arsed. But on a decent day I'm happy to clean up, it elevates my mood and helps me feel better. But they're not all decent days.... I've often been caught with comments from other people that are offhand and try to claim they didn't mean it that way or I shouldn't get so [insert emotion of choice here] - my favorite response to that is "you don't get to decide how your words make me feel". And it's true. Whatever feeling you have is valid and true and yours alone, and no matter what anyone else says, they don't get to choose how feel and react to it. It's had kind of a lightbulb moment with some people (my ex especially), and kinda has the potential to open up a little more mindful thinking when having a tense dialogue with someone...

Rinna Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Time keeps on tickin, tickin, tickin...... Yesterday was......a day. A dark day. The cat I didn’t want, that we adopted when my mil passed, that decided I was her new mommy had to be euthanized yesterday. She was exhibiting strange behavior, and had stopped eating/drinking/pottying. The little rascal wormed her way into my heart, and it was sheer hell making that decision. But it was time. So I’m working through that grief today. Yesterday was a flurry of tears & sadness. And emotional eating. So for the first time in a while, I went over on my calories. Oh well, so what. 5 Quote Level -20 Zombie Princess "The only way to lose is to give up." -Tanktimus the Encourager "You can't beat someone that refuses to give up” -Björn Járnhamar Link to comment

Rinna Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thanks everyone. She was a sweet loving girl. We made her last years good ones. Now, to get back on track.
