Blah

Today was a blah day.

You know.  One of those days that just can't seem to go well, no matter what.

I have a sinus infection.  Blah.

It was hard to get up and get going this morning.  Blah.

Talking to students all day ran my throat ragged and now I have a 'sicky' voice.  Blah.

Dealing with crying first graders and hyper/frustrated third graders.  Double blah.

Really, it all boils down to not feeling well.  If I could just flush away this crummy feeling cold with gallons of water, I'd drink every drop!

As it is, feeling blah brings on binge eating of the worst sort.  I don't feel good, so I eat ice cream.  even though I know that is the WORST possible thing to eat right now.  (Dairy fats congest me, that's why I drink fat free milk)  And since cold symptoms keep me from wanting to work out, too... it's a double whammy.

So, I have to pick myself up out of the proverbial gutter and give myself a good shaking.  I'm going to have to have an iron will to make myself drink tons of water, eat my veggies, and avoid sugar if I want to heal quickly so I can stay on my plan.

Why is it so easy to give myself these little pep talks AFTER I've had the sugar?  And so freakishly impossible during a craving?

Heavy sigh.
