I turned down a dinner invite tonight in favour of hitting up the gym.
I got to the gym, only to realize that I forgot my sports bra. Unfortunately going without is NOT an option for me. My condo is about 15 mins out of down, so once I got back here I declared tonight an evening of sloth.
I’m feeling pretty drained and tired, so maybe forgetting my sports bra was psychological?
Dinner was one of my staples. I know you’re likely sick of seeing chili, but I honestly never get sick of it. I could eat it daily!
With a diet root beer.
I’m going to watch a little of this tonight too.
I feeling a little down of late. I won’t go into detail, but in a nutshell, it looks like this:
- I’m supposed to be running a half marathon in Halifax this weekend. I had a previous commitment that I forgot about, so I can’t make it.
- Due to operational requirements at work, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it home the entire month of June… and I have that wedding this weekend, and a bachelorette next weekend, both in the Toronto area.
- I hate feeling like my friendship is not valued.
- I have flabby gramma arms.
- The Habs are sucking (albeit they are up 2-0 as I type this)
- I miss my dog and kitties.
- Snide comments by a co-worker are starting to drive my craaaazy.
- I hate it when people don’t know my history, and assume that just because I’m not a stick that I’m just ‘starting’ to workout and ask me if I’m seeing any results.
- I have 4 dresses to choose from to wear to the wedding I have to attend on Saturday, and I feel like a heifer in every single one.
I just need to shake my mental funk.

1.Awww chin up my beauty...I'm just as bummed about your not being able to come this weekend in a bad, bad way too :-(
That sucks about not getting home in June too.
Your friendship is always valued in my eyes.
I have flabby gramma arms too.
Habs are gonna win this one.
I'd miss the furbabies too.
People are effing ignorant and you'd kill them in any physical activity on any day. I'd rather look like you than a stick any day jussayin.
Those dresses all look great on you and you only think you look like a heifer because of your funk, I promise.
xo
Angie said it all.
Buck up chiquita..you are awesome.
...how about you come and do a half in my neck on the woods in Sept...or better yet a full in Nov with me!
That should just oh so brighten your day. :0
Amy-
You are an inspiration to so many. Look how far you have come! I admire you and appreciate your honesty in every post. Some days you need a rest. If you push when you're tired that's when injuries can happen. You are worth it and you are inspiring!
I'm trying to get over my mental funk too. Don't forget the sports bra again! Can you rent a lovker and keep a set of gym clothes in it?
Aww. I hope your funk passes soon. You are beautiful and lovely!
AWWW I hate the mental funk!!! I hope it passes soon. I couldn't work out without my sports bra either.
Mental funks are the worst. I am a sister is suffering with you on many respects.
Screw the snide comments of the coworker. I know they sting, but keep in mind the source. Does what this particular person thing, really going to make a difference in the long run. If it were a person that you loved or loved you, then that would matter, but in this case, screw them!
How about that Habs showing last night????
Big hugs to you! Not that my opinion is the end all to be all, but in my eyes, you're a rock star! You are one of my fitness heros! And, for that, thank you!
Funk, meet funk. That's how I feel too! I'm a lurker, but I want to tell you what the funk has made you forget - YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, SMART AND STRONG.
I think you are awesome! I know how it feels to have those moments. Funks are not fun.
(((HUGS)))

Sorry you feel so bad! You probably look great in every single dress! It's just the funk you are in.
You said: "I hate it when people don’t know my history, and assume that just because I’m not a stick that I’m just ‘starting’ to workout and ask me if I’m seeing any results." Imagine, I was asked last month if I was pregnant! And now that I'm in my 40s, man even with daily exercise and good food choices, not getting the results I want....bummer!
You are beautiful! I'll bet you look AMAZING in the dresses.
I hear you on the comments by co-workers. I just have to let it go through one ear and out the ear. If they really tick me off I write down what I'm currently thinking on a piece of paper to vent and then shred it immediately after! Makes me feel good!
P.S. I don't think I'll ever get sick of chili. It's so cheap and versatile! You almost never have the same flavor twice.
Amy-
I've been reading your blog for the past couple of months and I really admire your dedication to exercise. You're also incredibly honest which makes your writing refreshing-- we all go through good and bad times.
Don't be so hard on yourself about skipping a workout-- we all need to take a break sometimes. I also have really flabby arms but I just try not to think about them ;-).
I understand how hard it is to be separated from your family. My husband took a job 800 miles away in January and the furbaby and I have only seen him once since then (although we are going to move this month).
And there is nothing wrong with eating a lot of chili! It's good for you!
Hang in there and things will get better!
