Flat

I had a bit of a flat day yesterday. I didn't do anything in particular wrong; my only sins were some pitta bread and hummus when I got back in from work and a couple of leftover Lindor chocs. Apart from that it was a pretty good day foodwise and (because of my blog pledge yesterday morning) I forced myself to do 25 minutes on the trampette in lieu of a run in the rain.

But, my motivation was nil. I struggled to do much in the way of work yesterday and when I got home it was the same story. I was aware of the problem and trying to kickstart myself but without a great deal of sucess.

Flat flat flat

So, is today going to be different? Well, I have definitely got personal training this evening so I won't be able to lounge around. I feel pretty flat now to be honest but I'm going to try and tackle various tasks in the hope that, once I start, I'll get motivated again.

Bloody chimp. She is intrinsically lazy and scared of the work I have on my plate. Steve explained that, often the desire to put things off comes from your chimp: she is scared that she won't be able to do something so she freezes or runs away from it. I was in full avoidance mode yesterday and I'm not going to stand for it today.

Targets for today (on top of personal training of course):
  • Go to bed at a decent time
  • Phone a couple of people, don't stay in my "cave" sulking
  • Keep a food diary

It's when you make good choices when it's a struggle that you know you're doing well. That's you! Good for you.

Is the flatness hormone-related?

Don't sulk in your cave; you're better than that.

Big kiss.

Hoping you're starting to feel less flat! And it's so hard to make healthy choices when you feel like crap, so props to you, missy!
