No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
T.I.R.E.D but pushing through!
Last nights recap:
I used up some leftover brown rice, chicken breasts, and steamed some veggies to throw together for a stir-fry. I didn't feel like eating it so instead had 2 slices of toast with pb & honey and 1/2 glass milk. I was extremely tired as the night before I hardly got any sleep from waking up like 5 times throughout the night. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 7:45. I pissed and moaned about how I didn't want to go out in the wind to the gym. The husband suggested I just stay home to do a video. I put on my workout clothes, jacket, grabbed my bag and left. Off I went to do a workout. THEN at 8pm the gym was still crazy ass busy. SO annoying. Had to wait for a machine. Finally got one and did 40minutes and went home to shower and to bed.
Had another horrific night of sleep. I only got up once through the night but was dreaming so I felt like I got no sleep. Apparently the melatonin hasn't helped the past couple nights. So not only did I not get a good sleep, I was dreaming of an old friend that has passed away. I'm tired, I'm sad, and I'm feeling emotional. Not a good combination.
Todays Agenda:
work till 4
4:10 eyebrows waxed
5:00 pickup pills from naturopath
6:00 do a workout dvd at home
7:30-9 sophies dog class ----> I might see if the husband will take her by himself so I can get to bed early. If I lack too much sleep depression is likely to kick in and I'm trying to stay positive so I'm not a complete mess when I go for my first counseling session saturday morning.
CHIN UP....I'm still going to try to make it a great day!

I too have many many dreams at night, and when that happens I feel like I didn't sleep at all- it's the worst. I hope things look up for you and you get lots of needed rest!!!

Aw Kari - Hugs! Loss of sleep can really screw up everything. I know I always get sick if I am burning the candle at both ends.
I too know how quickly depression can cause havok on our best intentions. I give you a ton of credit for getting yourself out there and working out last night. Julie has some great ideas there to chase away the blues - all well worth a try and can make you feel much better. I know in my case a simple bubble bath wouldn't do it anymore, and had to at one point consult my doctor. Please know that you are entitled to feel happy. You deserve it! Life doesn't have to be so gloomy. There is help and I think you are doing the right thing by making yourself a priority. So when you see your therapist - LET IT ALL OUT! The release alone cant take a ton of weight off your shoulders.
I hope you have sweet dreams and a restful night tonight.

Hi Kari,
I know the feeling so well. Yes, you do need a good night's sleep but also maybe a walk at lunch time if you can get out and get some fresh air. Fresh Air does wonders for the soul :) Even if you just sit outside to have your lunch...I think it will lift your mood. Also Music is uplifting to our spirits as well - even just putting a new CD in your car that "speaks to your heart"...Do you like bubble baths? These things help make me happy on a daily basis. I know how hard it is getting somewhat "stuck" in that feeling of depression :) I was there for a long time. So...vitamins in the morning - omega 3's - fish oil if you can get it - a nice high fiber breakfast with BLUEBERRIES (another uplift) - fresh air at lunch - music in your car - and think about getting some audio tapes to listen to in your car too - I recently got one called You Can Be Happy no matter what by Richard Carlson - the author of the don't sweat the small stuff books...It was very good. Also I love The Secret Audio CDs as well - I may have to listen to those again. They really help - just getting some ideas on life, thoughts going - and its much cheaper than therapy :) Go to your local library to find some for free.
Let me know how you are doing. FRESH AIR - WALKING - NEW MUSIC ON THE IPOD - A SMILE :) Do you have a dog? DOGGIE KISSES :) All these things can help us get out of these periods in our life - and sometimes we have to just LET GO of feeling bad and make a decision to BE HAPPY. I say OWN YOUR HAPPINESS. Hugs! Email me!

I was actually all tucked in on the couch with a blanket, getting ready for a quick nap. Then the "guilty feelings" set in so I got up, grabbed a water and my bag and went! YAY for us! Hope you have a better day!
