This is my first post-magazine/tv post and it's going to be a total dud. I have a cold, I have my period and I'm crampy, and in a bad mood - which is not helped by my lack of exercise and crappy food choices. Need I say more?
Truth is, there's not much more to say than that. I have a terrible cough and runny nose and I figure rest is better than pushing myself right now and possibly getting sicker. But sitting on my rump can make me grumpy all by itself. Add to that eating fast food for lunch two days in a row, WAY too many cookies - yes, yes, I did that - and the cramps...I'm sorry to anybody new here, you might not find this post all that motivating. This sort of thing happens here from time-to-time.
In fact, I should know the cycle. Something happens, I don't exercise for a while, or I make a series of poor food choices, I start thinking a lot of negative thoughts, and then I unload in a blog post about how crappy everything is and how I'm not on a good path and blah, blah, blah. Inevitably - and usually within only a few days (but sometimes weeks) - I eventually snap out of it and write a post about how "I'm back!" and feeling great again, making good food choices, exercising, feeling totally awesome.
Blech, whatever. Today is not that day. There's no totally and there's no awesome. I know the timing is bad, what with the magazine coming out today and the show(s) yesterday. Oh, I didn't tell you, I was also on The Insider.
Yeah, listen to what she said about how it's worth it and all. Oh wait, that was me.
Ok, even though I'm grouchy and negative, I do still know it's worth it. I fought for this body (and mental change) and I will continue to fight. Just not today. Got no fight in me today. And the good news is, you don't have to always have it to be successful. There it is, my motivational message mixed in with all the bad-mood-ness. You can still be you. You don't have to become some perfect version of you to be successful.

Get some rest, call it a wrap. The next day or two will be better, promise!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! Maybe next week is more realistic with this cold and all but I'm hanging in.
DeleteBeing sick sucks. It happens. Hope you get through this cycle of the Blahs as quick as you can! The Blahs suck but we all get them. YOU GOT THIS!
ReplyDeleteIt so does. And I get so blue when I'm sick. I'm hanging on waiting for the clouds to part.
DeleteAnyone who cannot understand that your going to need a little space and time with all that your going through. Good luck take a little break and come back super charged and continue writing great content.
ReplyDeleteThanks Owen.
DeleteHey guess what? This makes you human & normal! :) Thank you for being honest about your off days. We all have them! Sometimes I think those days where we're just like "screw it all" is our body's way of forcing us to take a break so we can come back to things with more energy & effectiveness. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteHey Michelle! I know you are having a rough week, so I wanted to share my first ever blog entry with you. I mentioned this website. http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal.asp?id=CCANAMO. I have been following your blog for the last 6 months, and really enjoy your philosophies on health and fitness.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great tid-bit. I am far from the perfect version of myself and it is so nice to be reminded that we can fail and still succeed long-term!
