The Unexpected Emotional Journey

I'm not really sure how to share this, but I know I need support from people that understand.
Today was day 28. I'm excited to weigh and take measurements on Day 30 (Tuesday, January 8, 2013) and hopefully realize that the work is paying off. I felt great most of the time... exhausted and tired, but overall great. About six or seven days ago, emotions started pouring out of me... I don't know exactly what is triggering it... at first I figured it was just PMS, but that time has come and gone and the tears are still flowing. I haven't really been thinking about anything in particular, but I cry almost all the time. Okay, before anyone asks, this is not typical behavior. I'm emotionally / passionately driven in my career and with people I love, but I am not a crier. I never have been... I'm always the strong one in my family and my relationships. I haven't shared with anyone face to face that I've been crying, so I do manage to conceal that from others, but this has been driving me mad. It interferes with my workouts, I have to stop halfway through and cry, then try to start back up, which isn't easy and often not successful.
Is this normal? What can I do to alleviate some of the crying? I'm happy to get in touch with my emotions, but if I keep crying, my workouts are going to suffer. Help? Suggestions? Thoughts? Email me privately if you don't want to publicly share.
Thank you!

Sounds like your body/subconscious is trying to send you a strong message, and so you can do your best to listen. This is an opportunity -- when the tears start, ask yourself what you are feeling/thinking in that moment. Is is fear? fear of what? USe this as an opprotunity, you need to clear some kind of block, is my guess. See it as a good thing!0
