Nancy-I so well understand the "funk". I seem to go through one at least once a month. I'm with Patty that sometimes I just need to step back and regroup myself. I become bored easily when it comes to exercise and as much as I enjoy the benefit of having the bike, treadmill and elliptical, weights and a stack of DVD's and tapes so that I don't have a reason to be bored I still find that sometimes I have to just regroup myself and step back. I always find that I miss exercising and the benefits it gives me. As far as the scale goes I try not to weigh myself daily. I find that the scale flucuates so much for me on a daily basis and I'm never quite sure what the true number is. I also well understand your work frustration. The coworker issue can be unbearable at times. Yesterday was one of them. Meltdown time again-fortunately it was directed at her husband this time. But somehow the mistakes she makes are always someone's else fault. I'm very much not truly happy at this job anymore. Things have changed with at least one of management and I always have a feeling of unease lately. I would truly love to go back to part time employment but know that it's just not an option at this point. It's hard when other people interfere with just trying to do your job. Hang in there, I know that the funk will lift and you'll be back with it!
I'm sure this was a very difficult decision for you to make since you've really enjoyed working at the GH. They will be losing a valuable employee and I'm sure they know that since they've left the door open for you if ever decide to go back. Good for you for taking that leap of faith!
Also, great job on that 5AM workout! We should have webcams so we could wave to each other why we're both wondering why are we doing this at this hour?
nANCY.. I too weigh myself every day..It can and does affect my moods sometimes..MOST of the time it helps me, sometimes it makes no sense..when you get real frustrated at it..you need to get out a measuring tape...most of the time if the scale isnt cooperating...then the measuring tape will..I have been on an up and down rollercoaster ride on that scale for the Past YEAR!About 1 year ago I gained 7 pounds in one week because of perimenopause symptoms and havent been back yet..In the last 7 Months because i gave up running (temporarily)I have proceeded to add at least 7 more pounds
the only thing that keeps my sanity is exercising..I am dying for cardio, I am doing the same exercises and losing my mind..lets be exercise buddies together no matter what it takes.. I just went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me some ideas on what else i can do that may get my endorphins flowing(while waiting for knee surgery),..I drug My gazelle back Into the house this morning and that should do me good
coming here to post daily really helps and it helps me learn Im NOT ALONE!..the first step out the door/on that treadmill/or on that gazelle is the hardest..Lets Just DO IT!!

Patty,
