145

Posted by: joymanning In: On my mind| Weigh In

Hello, all you new What I Weigh Today readers. I see you wandering over since yesterday’s post about managing your weight with a life full of restaurant meals was re-tweeted across the twittershpere.

I have some bad news, though, about today. I’m feeling lousy. Depressed. Like I’m still in my pajamas. Some of these bad feelings probably have to do with my weight. Or maybe with the fact the great push of projects I had underway is now slowing down. Or maybe it’s this new birth control pill I’ve been taking for a week. Or maybe it’s the dreary day. Maybe it’s that Dan doesn’t like the orange top I got from Banana. Maybe it’s my sad toast-only breakfast. Maybe it’s working from home loneliness. Maybe its my less-than-awesome mental health.

I don’t know. But there probably won’t be a spunky blog with tips and advice or an interesting new recipe today. I’m sorry, new readers. Stick with me through the weekend. Maybe you can share your blues-busting rainy day tips with me? My friend Audrey already passed along this silly link, which helped. Thanks, lady.

#1 – Who cares if your husband doesn’t like the fabulous new top? You do and that’s all that matters! I have a silly hat that I wear in the rain, even though my husband teases me about it every time.

#2 – Are you at home? Is the house quiet? Turn on some great music! Since I work at home, I find that music helps me on days like this. (It’s raining cats and dogs here in Virginia too.)

#3 – Go to YouTube and search for Literal Version videos — Journey, Bonnie Tyler, etc. If those don’t have you snickering and possibly even guffawing, then I don’t know what will do it.

Hang in there!

those days are rough, joy- and they sure do drag.
i seem to either full-on wallow in the negativity until it’s outta my system or distract myself with something totally frivolous and dumb.
then there’s doing something constructive that we all know about, but sometimes that’s simply for the birds.
speaking of, i saw a pair totally doing it on the sidewalk yesterday- thought they were fighting; nope, just making it.

Oh, I get them, too. Really do. It’s one of the downsides of the job. I usually go running, even if I don’t want to, or at least walk the dog.

Or take the afternoon off and read. It doesn’t always work (I feel like my life is being controlled right now by a bridesmaids dress — if I eat that, will the dress look right kind of thing), but it’ll pass.
