I slept so good last night that I didn't wake up to my alarm and get a workout done this morning. I may have time this evening, but we'll see if I get it done. I still have a page of my 3 page paper to finish, and who knows what page 2 actually looks like. I got to a point last night that I think I just rambled through, repeated myself, and didn't make any sense, so that will be my goal for tonight, to finish a coherent paper. If it were a fictional paper, research paper, or creative writing I would be fine, but it's a position-opinion paper for economics on a couple of news articles and I think I'm boring myself just going through the articles. At least this is the only paper I have to write for this class.
In the diet and exercise world, all I can say is ugh. I ate okay, until the chocolate somehow snuck into my mouth yesterday. I have all sorts of excuses as to why I wanted it, comfort because I'm still not feeling 100%, stress, stupid people at work, etc., but those are excuses and I know I don't need to eat it. So, today I will try again. My joints are all aching, probably due to the weather, so some of those thoughts of wanting junk for comfort will seep in, but I have to fight them off and just eat the healthy lunch and snacks I packed. I will try to get my workout done tonight too and that may actually help a little with the achy joints.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!

I have a paper to write that is due next week. It's a little more interesting, on an alternative method of pain control. I feel your pain, it's hard to write when you're not really interested in the topic and position-opinion papers can be tricky. I can relate to having a hard time resisting the temptations. Labor day weekend I was in quite the funk as far as careless eating. We can only do better now, though. Glad you got a solid nights rest, hope you have a better day today :)

Is there someone at work your friends/friendly with? In my previous job, a girlfriend and I (we started out in the same department, but then moved in different directions w/i the co.) used to take a 10-min. break together once or twice a day and just walk around the block and 'vent' about annoying co-workers. That was a good diversion to 'eating' our frustration. Or, if not, you could do the same thing and call one of your friends or husband and talk w/ them during the walk/break?

Leigh- it's funny that you say that about venting with coworkers because I just had one of those sessions. We're always venting to each other but I can't leave the office for a walk and there would be nowhere close by to walk anyway, busy street and highway. I think the venting I'm good with because I do get it out between journaling here and my hubby or coworkers, but right now I'm just still working out of my funk. When my joints hurt I get really down and just don't want to do anything but curl up in a ball, but then I think about that and it pisses me off. I don't want to curl up in a ball, that's no way to live my life! It's just a battle until the pain eases up, and it will get better, I just have to deal with it while it's here. It's always easier to eat chocolate and lay on the couch than deal with the aches and pains of life.

Wish I had a remedy/recommendation to lift/remove a funk that arises from joint pain . . . yikes . . . have you spoken with a physician (or alternative such as a naturopath) regarding available pain management options/strategies? I'd be willing to try just about anything (hypnosis, even) to relieve pain.

I take pills that help with the pain, but some days are just worse than others. I've been dealing with this for about 6 years now, and other than having the beginning stages of arthritis they don't know what's wrong with me. It's pretty much just deal with it until it passes.
