Helping me get my Groove back



I have to admit that today was not a good day for me. I don't know if it's hormones or too many days of winter or post Christmas blues or what? But the last week actually has been tough. Just being honest here. I would love to be chipper and upbeat ALL the time, but every once in awhile I feel a little down.


Today at Church Laren told me how he chatted it up with M, a friend. As it happened M's wife sat next to me in Relief Society. In Sunday School Laren asked me if it was okay to invite them over for dessert tonight. I said, "Yes" and then later kicked myself. Not because M & M are not great people and not because we wouldn't want them over but because I just wanted to hang onto my pity party.


Thankfully we stuck to our guns and I eked it out, emotionally, this afternoon. M & M came over with their kids and we all had a great time!! I wish that we would have had the above pictured dessert tonight but instead we had cookies and ice cream. I had a small portion so as to be polite by eating some, otherwise I may not have indulged at all. I'm trying to drop the almost 3 pounds I gained over Christmas.

I have finally got my groove back. December was a BAD month for me. I was sick for a few weeks and then Christmas hit HARD. I have faithfully worked out at least five days a week for most of my life but stopped completely. It was rough getting back into it but I am feeling SO much better now. Even if that means dragging myself up at 5 a.m. to do it!

I totally have those days (far too many) and it is hard to get motivated to do anything--especially being social. but, like you, I always feel better afterwards when I am somehow "forced" into it!

I really think you have a twin..me! :) I have really been going thru the same thing. For some reason since we got home from Utah, I have totally been dragging. I finally feel a tad better the past few days. I am hoping it is hormones. I was looking for your e-mail addy. I can't find it! Can you e-mail me it? Azsunm@aol.com Check out my post today!

This is my hardest time of year; I think it's a combination of post-Christmas letdown and the winter blahs. I just came through a weeklong funk, actually, so I totally identify with you. Here are some things that help me; maybe they'll help you?

Getting into the sunshine, if there is any, planning vacations, watching really good, happy movies in the evenings when I tend to get down, decluttering or tackling other household projects, reading a fluffy, funny, happy book. And of course, getting exercise, which is hard to do when it's freezing outside and you don't want to leave the house!

Hope you feel perkier soon. You'll take off the 3 pounds, I have no doubt!

That looks SO yummy!!! I have been weighing myself every morning, and while it varies here and there, it's never gotten higher than it was on Christmas day! THAT makes me very happy! Now I'm craving fruit and icecream. YUM.
