(Over)working Out…

Am I crazy? Working out is supposed to make you feel good and happy, right? I've told my boyfriend more than once that I've felt depressed post workout and it's a bit worrisome. I figured it was worth researching to see if I was the only one. Depression after working out is more common than…

Treat yourself…

No lie... I have been on an “I deserve it” kick for the past few months... I was supposed to be buying a gift card a week or picking up a small gift every pay check for future birthdays and Christmas. Have I been doing so? Nope… Here we are, five months in and I’ve only…

Hungover…

Blah, what a way to end the work week... I'm hungover. At work. Again. It was fun in the meantime but now the word is  "Whyyyyy?" Why did I get drunk and play my clarinet with my sister and step daughter? "But it was so fun...!" the devil on my left shoulder says. "You knew…

Vacay

I recently went on a short vacation (6 days is definitely not enough) and while it was wonderful, it didn't give me the "reboot" in life that I usually get when I return from paradise. Usually going on a vacation gives me a refreshed outlook on my life. I feel recharged and have the drive…

Empathy…

Empathy.... Definition: The ability to understand the feelings of others. Was this a trait some people weren't born with? Is this something that is learned and not being taught? I remember in Kindergarten we had a class on this very subject. I don't remember a whole lot from Kindergarten but this lesson really stuck with…

Spring is being held hostage…

I don't know what you guys did to piss this guy off, but Spring is indefinite here in Kansas City! He's threatening to look at his shadow everyday for the rest of the year... said he might make it snow on Sunday... Somebody. Please. Help! (This guy has decided to make a home under my…

I’m ready for relevance…

I’m having one of those hard weeks… A week where it’s hard to get out of bed… hard to make it to work and even harder to get through the workday…Everyday this week. I can deal with one or two hard days in a week but it looks like this feeling is going all the…

Tuesdays..

For me... It's one of the hardest days of the week. I feel a bit overwhelmed. I feel like people start rushing to do the things they put off on Monday. I’m glad that the work day is almost over… Today just wasn’t my day. I made a few mistakes in paperwork and it takes…

It’s that time again…

Ugh, Mondays.... and again, the same tune. I've made a big effort to cut back on the calories today and so far so good! I've had a meal replacement shake for both breakfast and lunch today and a few almonds. I hope I can last until dinner time! If I do, it'll be a great…

Mystery Shopping

I have allegedly signed up for a mystery shopping experience for tomorrow night. I'm a little skeptical because who knows what you can get into online, but I didn't have to pay or give any credit card information. The worst thing that can happen is that I pay for my own drinks. It's sounds like…
