Mondays are fun days too! I started the morning off taking my car into the shop. That’s when I realized how sleepy I was still. Good thing I was able to go grab my chai tea latte afterwards. (Chai is my go-to drink ever since I cut down on coffee. Yes, it’s caffeinated still but it doesn’t affect me like coffee.) Working in the store today was good. It was a typical day, just a little slower. I think everyone is prepping for Thanksgiving. We usually have manager meetings on Mondays and today was no different. However, I have been practicing gratitude the past week or so with my fitness accountability group. I decided to bring a gratitude exercise and element into our meeting tonight. It fit so well with all the positive mindset talk we’ve been covering lately! And perfect week to do so. Another good day! No emotional mood swings or outbursts.

Really emotionally draining day and it didn’t feel productive at all. One of those days where I just feel like I’m at rock bottom and not sure what else to do. Good side of that, I guess, is that there’s really only one way to go after that, which is up. So any progress is good progress. Worked through my shift in the store and made sure I still worked out after I got home from work. We left work around 11:30pm so were home right before midnight I believe. I am glad I still worked out. At least I ended the night with an accomplishment.

I woke up and I could barely move. Everything hurt. I guess Day 1 of the fitness program kicked my butt more than I thought it would or I just went a little crazy and pushed myself too much. I do that sometimes, but I think I just went way too hard way too fast. My body wasn’t used to the movements and I hadn’t worked out for awhile now. Glad I got in a good workout and my body is being challenged. A little disappointed I wasn’t able to do my workout today. Not feeling so good emotionally today either. Having a hard time getting out of a rut and being physically drained doesn’t help it. There’s tomorrow though and tomorrow is a new day.
