No rest for the Wicked, Weary … or the Jet Lagged?

I feel like a bag o’ rats! I was happily working away on the computer last night and looked up … it was 1:30am! I wasn’t even tired. Well, I can tell you, by 4:30am I was tired but I still wasn’t asleep!!! It was sometime after that that I finally did fall asleep. When I woke up at 9:30am I felt like crap. And, even though I was “awake” I wasn’t really. I dragged myself to the gym to “play” with Little John. I asked him to take it easy on me and, thankfully, he did. I meant to stick around and work out a bit more but once I got to the change room (small pit stop) I lost all motivation. I think that it was the sitting down.

I would love to tell you that my motivation returned and I swept through my to do list like wildfire but I didn’t. I putzed around and did get some stuff done but it wasn’t up to my usual. Lately it does seem like usual though and it bugs me a little bit. I am going to have to do some thinking about it.

I think that my picture of the day brightens it up a bit. My old ironing board cover was shot. It looked like it had been through the mill. I looked in the stores for a new cover but they were so boring. If you have to iron then it's best to try to make it fun don’t you think? I love the Internet and I love eBay. After all, they brought me this ironing board cover. I decided to celebrate Fun in Ironing with this picture.



Have a terrific day!

    I LOVE this ironing board cover...what a great photo!

    I'm sure you will be back to normal by tomorrow. Don't you have company coming or don't you have somewhere to go that you HAVE to get all those to do items done?

    I haven't blogged today and should, but it's 1:00 and I should go to bed..besides it would be a blah blog since I spend 5 hrs shopping for curling bonspiel prizes, then worked on the annual report for the aviation museum and then had to start the ball rolling for this years prom dress collection drive since I'm getting emails almost daily from schools and volunteers about collecting dresses.

    All I really want to do is eat a mound of ice cream and a huge chocolate bar!

    Must be the one week early Feb blah's.

    I did'nt work out at all today...I'm sore from squash yesterday.

    Tomorrow's another day and I'll shake the lead out of the rear and get moving.

    Good night.

    No, no company coming to spur me on. I will just have to buck myself up for no good reason other than it is the right thing to do.

    NO ICE CREAM FOR YOU!! NO CHOCOLATE BARS!!! You had your "zag" days and now it is time to get back on the health wagon. I know what point you are at ... been there done that ... you are at the sabotage point. Whatever mental thing that you have going on about your weight is now trying to win over your new self. Mentally you are fighting you over you. Sit down and think of 5 reasons that you might want to stay bigger. And then think about those reasons. I battle my own psychological demons around food and exercise so I know how strong they can be. Print out a picture of your current butter pile and perhaps a butter pile for a few weeks or a month from now and put it on your fridge, put it on your bathroom mirror, put it on your computer. Put it anywhere that will remind you of your hard work and the great future as a skinny mini!
    I know that you can do it.

    The power sphere recipe is on its way!
