Ups and Downs

Anyone else go through an emotional roller coaster?  Gee, yesterday I was elated after my run and then later on (not sure why) my self esteem dropped so low I was in tears. 

Today was a better day and I felt better about myself.  Sometimes I think that I just get so tired out that I get emotional.  Kind of like a little kid. 

Tonight I did some recruiting at a Culinary School and oh boy did they ever have some yummy appetizers out for us.  I was good though and resisted.  I raced home and ate my JC meatloaf dish which was quite tasty!

I didn't think I was sore today until I took off my heels and OUCH!  My calves are tight and sore!  Well worth it though, well worh it!  Tomorrow I'm scheduled for my 2nd session so I will need to do it after work.  I pray that I will keep my priorities straight and JUST DO IT! 

Right there with you

I've been on the downward slope the past couple days. Nothing in particular happening, just feeling really down. Sorry to hear you're feeling the same. At least we know it will get better :) We need to get together this week for some laughs. Good luck on your 2nd session. I know you'll do it.

Yep

Here's a thought.  If you are an emotional eater and you stop eating out of emotion, what happens to those emotions?  YOU FEEL THEM!  That could be part of your roller coaster ride.  I know I started FEELING more when I started this journey.  I let myself feel it.  I allowed myself to go through those emotions instead of numbing them with food.

Now if you weren't an emotional eater, I don't know what's up.  I hope you feel better, though.

Mental Health Day

Sometimes we all just need a day to not do anything. You have been so busy it sounds like - you have been tackling all your goals - but maybe you just need a day of breathing.

Do something that doesn't have anything to do with weight loss or work. Go get a manicure or a pedicure - get a good book - get a massage. Buy a new pair of shoes!!! (My Fav.)

Take a day to recharge your battery - you don't want to burn out.

Hope you have a better day today!

It'll pass

I guess it's all part of being female, lucky us!  I'm sure you'll be feeling better in no time.  Have a great day!

hmm

I never realized how wise tatumsmom was until I read her post to you! That is soooo accurate. Good job resisting the yummies! You can do it..Hold your head high!!

Hi

Hey great job on your weight loss.  I am alsodoing JC and the couch 2 5k. My first day was yesterday.  Well I did a practice day last week.  Do you ever get on the JC message board.  I am JeSeth on there.

Rollercoaster

I have those rollercoaster days all the time.  I can be on top of the world, ultra proud of myself and even, dare I say, a little confident and then out of nowhere I get hit with this sudden realization that I'm a fat, pathetic tubbo.  Those times do pass though and as I continue this journey, those days are becoming less and less frequent.

It seems to be going around!

It sucks to be a woman sometimes! I'm always on an emotional roller coaster! I think the one week that I'm the most sane is the week of Tom, for some reason.

Anyway, feel better. And good job on the C25K! It does work. But be careful of your knees, ok???

Have a wonderful day!

Wild Emotions

Hi!  I just started reading your blog, and I like that there's another one of us out here in SF.  Anyway, regarding the emotional roller coaster, it is most definitely because of our best friend TOM, but it could also be that after your run the endorphins were running through you, and then when they ran out your mood just dropped along with them.  Anyway, just a thought. 

Yes.

More and more I feel like I can't shake the emotional <stuff> and keep thinking:  "I need to see my doctor, this ain't getting better"... waaaah!!

Maybe  next week - hugs and hang in there!!

Emotional Rollercoaster
