I am in SUCH a bad mood. This whole day has been a wash and everything that happens is pissing me off. I've been a total ahole to DH and that just makes me feel even worse. I actually threw a pair of dumbbells in my circuit class today and have dropped the f-bomb more today than I think I have combined in my entire life. I can feel wrath bubbling up at anything anyone says or does and we are heading to Chicago for the weekend which will be miserable if I don't cheer up.
Typing this from my phone is making me even more annoyed. Stop autocorrecting incorrectly, motherfather!

I've been in a MAJOR funk lately. No motivation to do anything and I can't figure out how to shake things up and get going again. It's almost like a I need a complete "life overhaul" in order to get back in some sort of a groove. Lately I feel like I'm living the movie Groundhog Day.
THIS exactly! And we are leaving for Italy in about three weeks. I feel like a "life overhaul" is not possible before the trip, and yet I have no desire to do any of the things I need to do to get ready for the trip. Thus, I am doing absolutely nothing.

I love coffee, but I get addicted to caffeine really easily, and then I feel like crap when I cut back. I had one cup this morning (instead of two) and I just want to lay down and close my eyes. But I really don't want to require 2 cups to function.
Get bigger cups?
Haha! This is what I did! One large Starbucks mug and one 22 oz to-go mug.

When i was first injured and couldnt run i was SO good aboutmeating less,mimactually lost two pounds.
But...since my dr told me how slowly i have to get back out there and how long ill take to fully heal, thats in the crapper and now my clothes are tight. Im not sure how i gained that much weight in five weeks, but, imsuppose i did.
My younger two went to Grammy's for a sleepover tonight so I had no excuse not to go to my older son's hockey game. Instead, I am home on the couch drinking my favorite wine and doing much of nothing. I feel guilty since I never really get to go to his games or when I do I am usually chasing the other two but tonight I just wanted to enjoy the quiet. it's nice but I have stupid mom guilt
DH is getting crabby by the food I am cooking. He says we have asparagus all the time (no we don't) and also tilapia (no we don't). I yelled at him and told him he is on cooking duty for the rest of the week. I will be surprised what we have tonight.
Some of my boot camp buddies are bitching how our instructor is giving us "tough workouts" Um, ok. What, you don't like to sweat feel like you worked our ass off for 3 hours as apposed to 50 minutes. I like our instructor and I feel I am getting my money worth. If not, then you can leave. I hate negative nancies.
I was checking out Instagram late the other night. I was searching hash tags for a big race that was last weekend, and came across a pic from one of the girls in my age group that races all of our local races. It was a pic of the urgent care room that she was in post race. I accidentally "liked" the pic. We are not Instagram or Facebook friends. Omg.
This is hysterical. But that sucks. Maybe she won't notice?

I have been hosting my own pity party lately. It still really bugs me that I've had been running consistently for the last couple months, aside from a stomach bug that took away two weeks, and still every run feels like a struggle. Worse, it seems like everyone in the world is faster than me, and instead of improving my pace, I seem to just be getting slower. Makes me not want to run some days.
I'll add to the pity party. I hate everything right now. I'm avoiding the mileage post, because the answer is 7. 7 fucking miles. December I ran over 180! Bite me, hamstring tendinitis. I've been wallowing in a funk over all of the hard work gone completely down the drain since my marathon
On the bright side, I got the ok to run a few miles. I did, & I feel ok. I think the Dr finally pinpointed the problem. He comes highly recommended, & I really like him, but at $110 a visit, I'm really going to need to see big improvements soon.
I have zero motivation to do another race after my first half on Saturday. I think the mixed feelings of the race along with the heat just makes me not be focused on this again. I was also supposed to do a sprint triathlon with my SILs at the end of the month (we did it 2 years ago). I have decided not to do it. I have not been on a bike thus far this year and just now could i get in a pool. I honestly have no desire. I am worried this will equate to no working out at all so I need to just figure out a schedule.

You can unlike it.. I have an HTC one X which is SUPER sensitive, so when i'm scrolling through I generally end up liking pics I don't mean to like. I just unlike them.

Sigh.
This is me too. I've gained like 8 lbs since my ACL surgery and feel like a fat blob. I went to take pics for my blog and my thighs looked like cellulite city and I cried.
I'm annoyed that I can't run yet because of my concussion and none of the freaking doctors in NJ will give me a PT rec for my back because they're so scared of being sued and brought into court for my MVA! Grrr!

Yes - I immediately unliked it, but I think she still gets a notification that I liked a pic. My only hope is that she either didn't pay attention, or doesn't realize who I am. Omg.
And does that mean that I should never think you actually like one of my Instagram pics

LOL. I don't know if it notifies if you unlike it.. you should not think that.

I'm coming to the realization that I am actually doing an Olympic distance tri this weekend. It's only 3 weeks since my half marathon. I think I've got enough of a base in to do alright, my mind's just not there yet. The park it's in has been flooded for the last 2 weeks so I've kind of assumed it would be canceled. We just got an e-mail last night that they think it's still happening so I'm excited to at least see where I'm at.
I am going to Key West for a week in August, 12 weeks out from my Marathon. I mentioned how excited I was to run there and my friends just totally game me the side eye and mentioned how hot it was going to be. I'm terrifed now.

Hahahaha!! Where do you live? For some reason you're in my mind as an ATL H&Fer? Yeah, it's going to be insanely hot & humid. Like, unreal. You'll have a breeze though, and if you are from the ATL area, it's not like you're a stranger to heat & humidity. If I'm wrong, and you're from a place that is usually cool & dry, god speed.

Yep- ATL! I was hoping that was the case. It can't be much more humid than here and the breeze is a plus. I lived in South Florida for a few years not too long ago, so I am pretty familar with how that breeze is amazing.
I think it was all an extra-early peer pressure plot for me to swap mimosas and margaritas for running. I like to have my cake and eat it too, so I think I'll do both !
Thanks! I am excited! We are going to Venice, Lucca, (with side trips to Florence and Pisa) and Rome. My husband is the trip planner, he has booked all of the airfare, hotels, trains, sites, yada yada. I am in charge of all of the packing type stuff, but haven't even thought about what we need yet. LOL

We are going to Italy at the beginning of July, too - flying into Venice and our of Rome. Will we be there at the same time?!

We traveled for almost 2 weeks with DD, and it was exhausting. We got home Tuesday and wound up at the Pedi's office that PM because she had a terrible cough with wheezing. She has some sort of infection (bronchitis, probably) and needs breathing treatments and antibiotics. I stayed home with her yesterday and sent her back to DC today. Partially because she is acting fine and her cough/congestion are much better after treatments and medicine, and partially because I need a freaking break and time to work out.

We leave on the red-eye out of Tampa (picking up ILs) on June 25, then stay for 12 days. Have a great trip!
