When in doubt, blog it out.
Buckle up, my mind is racing and I need to spew some words.
Today was such a weird day. It wasn’t a bad day but I sort of just felt hazy. I mean first of all it was a Monday. On top of that it was Miles’s first day at the daycare at my work. Change is hard. Change can be good, but it’s hard.
I was a bundle of nerves dropping him off. Would he behave? Would he share? Would he nap? Would he eat anything? I won’t bore you with all the answers but overall he had a pretty good day. I was teary when I got to my desk this morning and never really got my bearings all day. I nearly spilled a hot cup of coffee, did spill a cup of kashi at my desk, felt clumsy in general and just anxious all day. It was great to get a few quick updates on Miles throughout the day from his teachers but it was just a long day. Then people were just assholes on my commute home. Hey people, stop being assholes! We would all like to get home alive!
Another topic that has me anxious lately is my bod progress. I blogged a few weeks ago about trying to figure out my diet with my new surroundings and schedule but something must be going wrong because I’m up about 4 lbs. Basically I mostly do good all day and then come home and rage on the pantry. Nothing new, just have to figure it out again.
Running has been lackluster lately too. I can pretty much kiss that sub-25 at the Fish Festival 5K goodbye… which is OK. I definitely haven’t been committed or worked for it so I really don’t deserve it. I did go to a killer spin class at Psycle last Friday and it really reminded me again I love to spin and cycle. I’m contemplating purchasing a pricey (for me) package of classes there.
Despite the prior paragraph I did finally get in a run over 3 miles today. Not by much but it was. It was also the most humid run in a long time. It reminded me of a run last year and I had to dig up the photo just to remind myself how far I’ve come.
Last year…
Today…

Other fun things… I finally got some jeans hemmed and got to wear them today. And some new Sperrys for summmmmah!

Not so fun thing… I shattered my iPhone screen and they want $199 to replace it. Oh hey, that sucks.
What sucks and doesn’t suck about your Monday?

What sucks most about Mondays is that I no longer have them off with my new job, but I love my new job so it doesn’t make it too bad.
Today I attended my first spin class at Psycle and absolutely loved it! After my experience I don’t want to go back to my gym’s spin class and am considering purchasing a session package at Psycle since I work right down the road!
BTW, you look AWESOME in your current picture! Don’t let the new work groove get you down, you’ll find your groove.

I feel the commute pains. I had that today too. People like driving on the line. Stay in your lane man!!
Hopefully the week gets better from here on out! And less balmy outside.

I have had takes like this. And I am with you on the body anxiety. I have been struggling to get the lbs down and just when I think I am doing well I see a spike on the scale. Think of it this way though, you’ve come a long way and look awesome in those jeans! I need to get a pair!

I have total mustard cardi envy – love it!
You’re the most dedicated/determined person I know. Give yourself some time to get adjusted to all the change you’re going through right now. It will all work out – I know it.

Isn’t it always great when you worry about your babe not doing well, and then they totally rock it out?
As usual, you are adorable. I just dealt with the whole broken screen ordeal. It’s terrible! I feel your pain!
