Emotional Hangover
woke up Sunday morning…………..had a beer for breakfast……..didnt taste bad……..so I had one for dessert……..stumble to my closest………and looked for my cleanest dirty shirt……….having had too much wine and song last night……….that’s how I felt this morning………
yesterday was an emotional day for me………..celebrated my fiftieth birthday………..there was a pizza and cake celebration at work………..ate way too much for lunch…….however did get my workouts in………tried taking care of so financial business………should have been a couple clicks……..turns out to be a real headache……..my financial situation is becoming a Tsunami………..I really started stressing thinking about……….so I was getting a little bummed out……..went out for my birthday dinner………I planned on getting chicken fajitas……..no sour cream, cheese, guacamole………..that would be a healthy choice……….but I was in no shape to make rational decisions………..lets just say I had no control……………had nachos with all the fats on them…………ate French fries………first time in 3 months that I let one touch my lips………and then came home and ate some more cake……..
I woke up this morning……….and I felt like crappola………had a cup of coffee on the way to the gym………..this usually clears out the cob webs not this morning……it is amazing what happens to our bodies………when we put it through the fight or response mode………..by our thinking………because clearly our lives are not in jeopardy………..but our response is the same as being attacked by a foe………
started my hour workout on the elliptical machine…………..normally after 5 or 10 minutes I start feeling good and can feel the positive energy that comes from moving your body……..not today……………40 minutes into the workout……….still had the cob webs could shake off the sleepiness………..but have gotten much better………did a lot of positive thinking………..I meditated on filling my body with energy…………..anytime a bad thought popped in my head……..I would send it packing……..concentrated on giving the means to figure out my problem and not to think about the negative side of the problem…………..by the end of my work out started to feel better………….a nice shower and I was good to go……….came out with a completely different outlook……….ready to tackle the day…….
That is awesome!! Your blogs are always so interesting and relatable. Positive thinking is so important! Our beliefs and thoughts certainly influence so much - body response, body language, others perception of us and general outlook. It is great how you recognize this and take the steps to fix it.
“The power of positive thinking”, I was just telling a buddy about that book, I read a looooong time ago. Sounds like you have it down pat. I on the other hand, had better get my hands on a copy and read it cover to cover…because my positivity level pretty much sucks lately. You handled, got through it, and back to business! Great work!
I can so relate to your blogs this week! I am tackling the financial monster while I am tackling the weight loss. I have a fat brain that tells me stupid things on the weekend too.
I think we al lhave those little “demons” that keep naggin at us. The good thing is that we keep coming back here. THAT makes all the difference!

I am always so inspired by your inner strength. No matter how many times something tries to get to you, though you may fall briefly, you push your way thru and come out even better on the other side. I admire your hard headedness.
