Am feeling very frustrated with myself!
Such a terrible week last week of not training and eating more than I should. Work got really busy and I was working some 12 hour days, sitting on my ass. We got a storm that we weren't expecting and it caused power outages.... I didn't log my intake properly last week so my food diary is not looking good..... I really need to get on top of it.... am losing control!!
The whole winter feeling is just playing on my motivation and enthusiasm! There is barely a sign of spring except a stretch in the morning/evenings and some early flowers popping out.... am not coping at all.
We just took in a stray kitten home (I do love cats) and it just peed and pood on our bed..... it is really testing my patience.... of all places!!! I had only changed the sheets yesterday in a rush and now I don't have a clean one for tonight so can't sleep in my bed.... !!
My husband told me we weren't doing Valentines day anymore and he had enough on his mind than a stupid day like Val day!! So that definitely left me feeling sorry for myself.
And that's only half of it! Good Grief!
So this morning I got to work out and I really need to go kickboxing tonight to work out some of this anger.
No need to feel sorry for me, I am like a kid throwing a tantrum.... :-(

I can feel where you are coming from. I'm going through a very tough time in my life right now and I'm finding it very difficult to stay motivated when it comes to working out and eating right.

Deep breath !! It's going to be OK. Really. You recognize the stresses that caused you to slip up and I can see you are getting back on the wagon and not giving up !!!! Winter - the cold and lack of sunlight really plays on our emotions - I always used that time to put on pounds in the past and was tempted to overeat this year, too. I will be so glad when spring arrives.
Valentine's Day puts undue pressure on some people, especially men. I'm not saying this is the case in your family, but consider this. My husband and I (of almost 26 years marriage) stopped celebrating it years ago when he went to buy flowers and they were three times the price they were a week earlier! I work in retail and see this firsthand when some come in just to buy anything so there's a present for the wife. (Christmas is just as bad).
Thank you for taking in the kitty.
I hope you have a better day today and every day this week......

Oh thank you so much for your warm comments!
All these negative thoughts keep going round in my head, giving out to myself as am failing my own goals and letting myself down. I can't be easier on myself as in a blink I will have gained even more weight..... just need a bright day to melt my heart and get my spirits up.
Have a good week everybody! Am going to try again!

We all have bad weeks. But today is Monday so just pick up and move forward. And good luck with that kitten! Maybe you could lock it in a room until it gets civilized. Maybe you should lock your husband in a room until his attitude improves as well!!!

LOL! Yes, kittie is in a room..... thought he was toilet trained as he did it on me on the couch a couple of weeks ago when he came first.... I was drowned! Never had it happen to me before, I was more worried about the couch and it soaking into it. So I was really shocked this morning but he is in a room with his bed, water and a toilet.... I feel bad but he has to learn.
My husband.... what can I say..... we always exchanged cards up until this year when he refused. I suppose I should have gotten him a card regardless and then he would have felt guilty about it.... oh the bliss of marriage!

Buffy. Cats never get civilized. They own you and train you to let them poo in the house. I mean really. Heys, Shell. Today is a brand new day. You have a lot on your plate. Do what you can every day to keep in mind what your goal is. when the stars and your schedule are aligned, you'll get things going. Valentines day was hijacked by the greeting card industry. Given your mood, always remember it was a day when there was a gangland massacre, old school. Why commemorate that!

That is true! As they say ... dogs have owners, cats have staff! He has so much personality but needs to learn his manners.... we'll get there ... I can see us putting him on youtube at some point with his antics.
I will thanks ... I feel a bit better already as I made kickboxing and had a good class. It's great to work out with other people who make you laugh.
Ok ... I really need to check in on my journal really regularly. .. night guys n gals xxxx

We have a golden retriever. If she could talk, she would say, "What's outside, what's inside, what's outside, what's inside. Drives me nuts. She's a great dog though.

Thanks guys n gals! It is brighter today TG and so I have a bit more optimism but rain returns tomorrow. I did an extra class this morning so am feeling a bit better in my spirit. Going to walk our Golden Retriever at lunch time.... he is a great dog and we have 2 cats already and seeing this little rug rat coming in and eating food while it is still pouring out of the box, pooping and peeing where he shouldn't and having a game of playing, then hissing at the other cats..... makes me realise how well behaved our lot are :-) He is being good today..... snuggled under my arm purring as I type. The joys - have a great day all xxx
