Rollercoaster

What a day yesterday.  Without rehashing too many details, the Universe took a big dump on me.  Crap after crap after crap.  I was grumpy, stressed and annoyed all day.

BUT ... some good stuff.  I had a great catch-up call with a bestie.  I stuck with my Whole30 even though wine looked so good (and seemed so necessary).  Louie's mama wants him tomorrow instead of Monday (they are coming back early from their trip to get him).  Jack is on better pain meds for a horrible surgery (even though the vet said it went well).

Best part is it's OVER.  I need a recharge today.  I went to bed stupidly early last night and feel better today.

I had crazy bathroom issues last evening so keeping my eyes on a new supplement I'm taking per Project Healthy Body recommendation.  It's a turmeric blend.  Not ready to call it the cause, but I'm watching you Curcumin!  This is the only supplement I'm trying because I've had some interest in this before.  There is a big list from multivitamin through garlic stuff.  I'm not a huge fan of supplements, but I'll wait and hear some more rationale before I decide.  In the meantime, I thought this was a good one to try.  Inflammation is no bueno so if it helps ... problem is there is no actual PROOF, no way of looking at myself and seeing results.  Expensive pee as they say or a health booster?!?!

Since this week was a fat bust for ME time, I'm trying again this week.  Louie will be at this new pad, Jack should be recovering, hubby is out of town and my schedule is relatively clear.  I think, hope, pray life's little shits are over and I can relax into some good stuff.  Shhhh ... can't say this too loudly.

I revisited Gretchen Rubin's 4 Tendencies book - I'm an Obliger for most everything - hence my need for accountability outside myself for lots of things!  I've been thinking about why I need a coach to get my butt in gear when I never have before (that's why I revisited the book).  I've used outside influences all the time to get my butt to healthy, but didn't actually call it that.  i.e. my lift instructor, my need to fit into my scrubs, my healthy bestie, etc, etc, etc.  Can't let my lift instructor squish my fat, can't ask for a size up in the scrub-ex machine, want to join my bestie is some feel good stuff.  You get the idea.

Most of those outside influences are stalled or are gone.  I can't find my MUSE!!  Hence, paying for a coach.  It makes sense to me.  Maybe I'm seeing what I want to see, but I don't think so.  The bottom line is if it's working, it's working.  So far, so good.

Today is a list of catch up chores, some food prep and downtime.  I'll do an easy workout on the treadmill (see how hard I feel like pushing).  My stomach is still rumbling so no outside run LOL!!

Happy Saturday!  Later gators!
