I JUST didn't FEEL like it.....

Ahh How many times have each and every one of us been there?
It was a tough day at work...
It was too cold...
It was too hot...
It was too depressing...
You worked out yesterday,
You can skip today...
Well I went into this last night.
It was cold, It was snowning...
(I do not like snow as an FYI...I mean if you CAN say you HATE something...Well, I HATE SNOW! I have my reasons.)
The plan that I THOUGHT was a good one to give my car traction by putting our marine batteries in my car for extra weight, was met with disdain from my man. How could I have been so silly as to think that it would work? :noway:
Never mind the fact that it did. :ohwell:
Oh and how THOUGHTLESS of me to not take the time to sweep the stoop at lunch, he slipped on it!
Mind you with the snow I had MAYBE 5 minutes to let the dogs out, find something to eat, put them back in their kennels and slowly drive back to work.:grumble:
Oh and the thing that I pulled out for dinner did not look good to him because he had a big lunch at work and was not hungry, But if "I" wanted to eat it I could. :explode:
Hey sometimes men are this way too. It Happens...:ohwell:
So he went to bed leaving me in my mounting depression.
I made my whole wheat noodles with tomato sauce and went into bed myself shortly after...
Where I met him... Vegging out.....
He asked what I wanted to do that night and I said...
"I SHOULD go downstairs and work out,
But I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!"
I vegged for the rest of the night and did not do my evening run.
Now I KNOW that I can take a day off,
and I KNOW that there are days like this and that there are days that will be worse,
and I KNOW that it really does not matter that I missed one night to just lay in bed and veg,
But for SOME REASON I am mad at myself.
BECAUSE!
I ALSO know that my run always makes me feel better,
And I KNOW that my workouts keep me young and active.
And I KNOW that in order to lose weight I have to do something active to burn extra calories.
And you know what?
I will work out tonight!
I will make up for not working out last night,
AND I will feel good when I do.
But as for last night.............:frown:
I JUST DID NOT FEEL LIKE IT!

    Men..........They can be such a pain in the a@@.
    Don't worry. We all do it. It could have been worse. You could of drank a 1/2 bottle of Kahlua (big bottle) and ate a ton of brownies like I did not to long ago.
    Just get right back on track and get your run in. Keep a positive attitude.
    Sing the song you posted the other day.
    Have a fantastic day, and run, run, run

    Yes they can be. AND they can also be a great assat to have!
    Which I will say 99% of the time mine is.
    Oh, I am not worried. :smile:
    This is basicly a post to everyone to say.
    HEY, WE ALL HAVE THOSE DAYS WHEN WE JUST DID NOT FEEL LIKE IT!
    :flowerforyou:
    Yesterday was one of those days for me.
    Onward and upward! :bigsmile: AND One foot in front of the other!
    :flowerforyou:

    Cute Razbo :wink:
    To make myself clear.
    My statement was not against ANY or all man.
    Sometimes men can be just as Beotchy as us women.
    :tongue:
    But this was just an extra straw on the camels back.
    And being Irish, YEP there have been times when I have drank a half bottle of ink-a-hale.
    To make it worse, We also sail. I have NEVER known a boating funtion that did not have libations of one kind or another.
    :laugh:
    Makes me understand why sailors of the past had missing limbs.
    Libations :drinker: + boat + more libations :drinker: + large body of water = major opps, Or at least a funny story. :laugh:

    I JUST haven't FELT like it for THREE days..

    I think this may have something to do with it.

    Sunrise: 7:53 AM
    Sunset: 4:17 PM

    I leave, it's dark. I come home, it's dark. Is it spring yet? I just want to eat soup and curl up.

    I agree. That's why I am losing motivation. Also because I love sweets and I eat till I pop then I feel terrible and get depressed. Starting over today. Ate all the candy in the house so I have to. :laugh:

    I have a weakness for sweets, so I don't keep them in the house. If I want chocolate or candy I have to go out to get it.
