I forced myself to get up & go this morning--the first time I've done AM exercising in years It wasn't fun, but I kept remembering what Sisugal says: I don't have to like it; I just have to do it. And everybody in my "When does running get fun?" thread was right: I don't necessarily enjoy it while I'm in the moment doing it, but I feel pretty badass when it's done! Like I can do anything.
Isn't it awesome to have your exercise done before your day has even started? Keep it up! :Y:
I know people have been complaining about how boring MM is lately, but looking at the shit that has gone down on ML and CEP lately makes me happy we're boring.
A (not so) tall, dark and handsome man showed up at my door this morning. ;D
It was DH's boss, lol. He had to pick up something he needed that DH had left here. He lives right down the road, so it was easier for him to stop by and grab it then have DH run home for it. He is pretty easy on the eyes though, so I didn't mind, lol.
A FB friend posted asking for suggestions on apps for a catering event she's in charge of. Just two minutes of brainstorming a few suggestions made me really miss working in the Culinary field. Said friend is looking for volunteer help for these events she's in charge of, but at this point I can't seem to justify volunteering my free time when I have 2, soon 3 kids at home that I want to spend time with while they're still young. If I were to get paid for it, I'd jump right in, lol!And I need to find a PT paying job after DS is born already, so my time is very valuable to me.
Both for running. A pre-race gift to myself for completing my first half marathon this weekend.
Love them both! The shorts are especially cute, and seem to be really flattering. Good luck this weekend! Please update after with how it went. It's so inspiring to me to read!
My new therapist can fit me in tonight at 6pm. I'm first-date nervous.. it's hard meeting new therapists. "Hi, I'm Peggy. Here's all the shit wrong in my life." Then I tend to down-play things because I don't want to come off crazy.
at myself.
Good luck! I typically sit down & burst into tears :-(

I was about to post the exact same thing! Passing the box of tissues works as an ice breaker.
I am waiting to hear back about an internal job that I applied for that I'm 90% sure I'll get. Unfortunately, current boss knows that I applied and is now treating me super weird and things are incredibly awkward between us. I wish they would hurry up so I can get the heck outta here. And I hope the salary is what I'm expecting. Waiting...ugh.

Last time I met a therapist I kind of laid it all out in the first session and was met with a . I lack tact in therapy and tend to use sarcasm and dry humor as a way of deflecting my true feelings.. which is like word vomit except I know it's happening and I can't seem to stop it.
Hugs. Hopefully your therapist is well trained enough to understand.

I quit reading CEP to give my full attention to MM (LOL). What went down??
I need a haircut so badly, but I'm scared to find someone. Instead I'd apparently rather look like crap.
I have a rash all over my chest. Thanks prednisone.
I just got called a liar by a lobbiest to our chief of staff. And I'm probably going to be forced to do something that pisses me off bc someone can't follow the rules. And I'm being rather obstinate about it.
rubytue, I've done the exact same thing as you re haircut. I finally broke down and booked an appointment for tomorrow. Miguel better make me look fab! lol.
My mom came over today to eat lunch with me and pick-up an item she needs this weekend. I told H she was coming sometime this week, but wasn't specific. I had planned to chat with her more and send some stuff with her that I don't want to get lost or broken if things end up badly.
H was at home. Oops. H called me out on having a secret meeting.
Apparently my counsellor has ESP. She texted me last night asking how I've been since she hadn't heard from me. So I texted her back about all the medical crap and meeting with the surgeon this morning. We have a call scheduled later today to deal with it.
The whole thing is way too weird. I feel like I'm fine 95% of the time. Then random shit will have me breaking down crying and paniced. Ex. the grocery clerk asking if I wanted to donate to kids cancer research led to me being a crying sobbing mess for the next half hour. I didn't break until I was in the car and then home but still. Yesterday, I noticed some split ends and was thinking about trimming my hair, but then realized I might not want to. I'd planned to cut in off and donate it in a few months. Now I keep thinking I might need to decide on when to cut it around my diagnosis and might need to keep it for my own wig. It's a total mind fuck to live like this.
((HUGS))
Mine: DH has the biggest job interview of his lyfe today. It's not until 3pm and I'm not getting anything done because I'm thinking about him.
I have a rash all over my chest. Thanks prednisone.
Oh no! What are you supposed to do now?
I went to RoadRunner's today to do the ultimate shoe fitting. Combined with the awful shin tightness and the way my feet/ankles feel like they are landing, not a single pair of shoes I've tried are working for me. I went and they said I'm neutral and my stability shoes were far too much for me. Curses to all you local running stores for saying I need stability shoes. Oh, and apparently my foot is not narrow. Curses again local running store!
I won't feel completely better until I run tonight and my legs cooperate but I am dying to run and I haven't been excited about running in months.
RR did you ever figure out what to do about his counselor wanting you to send a list?
I'm not doing it. His appointment is tonight and H hasn't asked me about it again. If he does, I will tell him that this is individual counseling and not about me.

My random is that I am ready to move on to week 2 of C25K for the first time ever. Yay! Slowing way down really was the key. I'm barely trotting at 13 min/mi, but whatever. I'm all about building up endurance, and trust H&F and Runner's World forums when they say speed will come with distance/length of runs. Losing more weight will probably help speed, too. It's a lot of work to jog my shit down the street.
You're doing fantastic. Beginner runners always think they are too slow, but running isn't sprinting... you'll be slow when you start. You get speed over time, focus on the endurance. And keep it up!
My random is that the car we ordered in May (company lease) has finally shipped and is in Illinois, on it's way here! I'm so excited to have a new car to drive, my POS 2003 Ion is feeling rickety and I'm tired of it.
Lurker here. I've decided to come out and play. We'll see how it goes!
My random: I was told today that I have to move offices. I think I have gotten way too attached to the space, I'm really not looking forward to moving, lol.
