The last few days I've been dragging a bit. The weather has finally cleared, but I've been slammed with projects and unable to break free for any fun stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the work (being a heavily employed freelancer in an uncertain economy is a good thing!), but when it gets in the way of a yoga class (as it did today), I get a little fussy.
But it's more than that, and as per usual there was an email from Patrick to underscored the point. What is this slight malaise that's plaguing me?
Is it the shifting daylight as we slowly cruise toward the depths of Autumn? Maybe. I was thinking the other day that Spring/Summer would have been a more optimum time to tackle the PCP. Less clothes to weigh you down, and more variety of fruits! (It's hard to find more than apples, pears, grapes, and kiwi lately.)
Is it the routine nature of PCP? The working out EVERYDAY for the last 36 days, categorizing foods and counting grams? I think I even dreamt in carbs, protein and veggie the other night, like it was another language!
I know, I know. I signed up for this challenge and believe you me, I'm committed to the hilt! But we're not even halfway through this shebang, and December seems so far off.
Sigh. For now, I'm just going to keep focusing on that halfway marker. Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot...
Down in the valley, valley so loooooooow....
ReplyDeleteI so had the grumps last week too! It will pass soon! You're doing great as ever!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, Shelly! At this time of year, I always ask myself, why oh why do I live in a place that is cold 9 months out of the year?? And then I ask P every week if we can move to California.
ReplyDeleteYou'll cheer up soon—I expect our moods will be up and down continuously for the next two months. Like you say, just one foot in front of the other. The sun will be shining soon!
