Day 25

Bad day. To understand how I feel, check out the sneaky hate spiral. Food has gone so far off track, there is no track anymore. Motivation to accomplish work is nonexistent. If Andy weren't running with me, I wouldn't want to do that either. Why all the doom and gloom? They came back to me with my raise offer today. It was 50% of what I was hoping for, and I was hoping conservatively. That is not enough to quit my second job. Sneaky. Hate. Spiral. I did, of course, attempt to negotiate, so we will see what happens, but let's just say I certainly don't feel valued at job number one anymore. Not sure I ever have really...

Andy and I ran after work today - he had rehearsal early in the morning and it would have just cut things too tight to try to squeeze in a run beforehand (this happened last week too) so it got bumped to later in the day. I thought it would be good to run after such a depressing day at work, but it didn't turn out to be the stress reliever I was hoping for. Why? Because we ran through ten thousand clouds of bugs. I am pretty sure I ate two of them while running and then... I freaked out when we got back home and I saw this in the mirror.

Dead bugs on my neck...

That's one of the grossest things I've ever experienced during a run. Big thank you to Andy for picking off the dead bugs and not finding me repulsive. :)

After a very thorough shower (it felt like there were bugs crawling all over me, which of course there weren't), I rushed out the door for a date I've been looking forward to for weeks. Brinner with Alyssa and Elizabeth!!! Brinner = breakfast for dinner, one of my favorites. The food was great and catching up with A and E was best of all.

 

 

 

Brinner of Champions!

Time for bed. Hopefully tomorrow is better. I have a new plan for food that I'm going to implement tomorrow - I'll tell you more about it then. I'm crossing my fingers it will help me turn things around. Also running my long run tomorrow night, which will be interesting. Happy hour long run!

Total Miles Run: 62.79
Total Weight Change: -1.5 (I think tomorrow it's going to be a positive number, not a negative... definitely going in the wrong direction)
