I'm still struggling this week. Not so much with the getting to the gym and the getting up to work out aspects, but with the whole wanting to go to work, wanting to eat healthfully, wanting to fully engage with life. I'm feeling fat, bloated, tired, cranky, whiny, pitiful, etc. I'm totally self-absorbed at the moment...typical for when the downswings in mood occur and the dragon rears it's head and it's a fight to keep going with the motions of the day...

And yet, it's not really that bad. Yeah, I have to fight the impulse to throw the covers over my head each morning and simply stay in bed, hidden from the world and my responsibilities, but I haven't done that. At least not yet. I am seriously considering a sick day or two soon, but for now, I make myself get up and go to the gym. And once I'm at the gym, there's not much sense turning around and going home.

And my workouts still feel fantastic, which is good. And it helps. And I've started using the sun lamp with regularity again, so hopefully that will help too...

And I had a faboo dinner with Nat tonight, which included a long chat and gluten-free organic cheesecake. yummy.

it was a good night...
