I was incredibly tired today. Everything was hard. Many things contribute to my fatigue and having a job that I hate and feeling absolutely stuck there with not even a flicker at the end of the tunnel is one of the worst contributors. I cannot sit in an office with no windows and then leave to find no sun outside. I don't know how anyone can do that? How can you spend your life not engaging with people and life and whatnot? I am an extreme "Debbie Downer" tonight and I am sorry, but I figure there's no reason to fake it here. I do that all day long at work. And sometimes I do it on the weekends. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for my life and happy more that I am unhappy, but there are days when I just, well, have some "Debbie" moments. Thank God "Modern Family" made me laugh until I cried.
My food diary
B-Two Eggs and one piece of dry toast.
L- I went out and had two shrimp tacos, rice and beans and a diet coke.
Snacks- Hard Candies, which I don't even like! And a low fat string cheese stick.
D- Soup that I made, so I know it was pretty low in fat, etc.
Water consumption was good, not great.
I will admit that I am not fully committed to the diet thing yet. And I think that at some point I will have to join WW.
No exercise. My back is making me sad. Please heal, back! On a positive note, I'd been wishing that the gym I used to belong to offered a month to month membership rather than making you sign a year contract. Then today I got a flier in the mail that said "we offer month to month memberships". Yay! They have an indoor running track and I really need that for the cold months.
For Tomorrow
Eat healthy
Stop by the gym to inquire about fees (please be much lower than I expect! Please!!)
Drink 8 glasses of water
Don't be a DD
Blog
I'm afraid I may have gotten a little TMI with this one, ladies, but who fucking cares. I can always delete it tomorrow. Wonder what would happen if I ever blogged drunk?

jenna, you rock. and honesty is one of the, if not THE most attractive attributes a person can have!!!! you are so much more brave than you give yourself credit. taking it one day at a time is all we can do. my thoughts are with you and i will focus on you finding a great opportunity to take you out of this darkness. :) you will get out!!! the shit storm i went through, i thought would NEVER end; made time sit still; was so miserable. but it ended. hang in there sister and i am with you 100%. every day is a struggle, yet a chance to get most of it right. tomorrow will be a great day. miss ya and much love!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jenna, how I can relate to you!! Gaining weight happens when we don't pay attention. I wasn't aware it was happening until I had to buy bigger jeans, and even then kidded myself into thinking it was just, oh I don't know, I was in denial. Once you can start excerising again you feel a lot better. Excerise has helped me with my depresssion and anxiety more than any other medication. Hang in there sister, it's okay to have a shit day. We are all cheering for you, and believe in you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about feeling slightly uncomfortable blogging such personal thoughts. But I kind of feel like it's freeing in a way. Some of you I know and some of you I don't, but either way I feel like it's therapeutic. And we're obviously in no position to judge ;) anyway I I appreciate the support from you and the other ladies when I'm having a shit day too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you, ladies!!
ReplyDeleteJenna :( I just read this post. I hate my job too and I appreciate your honesty. It makes me feel safe when i need to vent. You are a spectacular woman and have a gift for people and humor. I know that THIS year new opportunities are coming your way. Take it one day at a time and remember that awesome things are going to happen to you. Love you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Talula! I hope you're right.
