Evil treadmill

I slept in this morning, unintentionally as my alarm did go off at 7, and as expected, I got out of bed feeling a bit gloomy. I usually experience this minor depression about a week away from TTOM, so I'm not surprised, but I'm yet to find a way to 'nip it in the bud'.

I finally dragged my self out the door at 9 for a walk, only to discover it was raining, so I went to the gym to use the treadmill instead. Bad idea. I hate using the treadmill, I find it dull, I hate that there is a clock or distance counter in front of me and I hate worrying too much about the machine to get lost in my thoughts as I usually do when I walk. I only lasted 15 mins. I got bored with the tv, felt sick because the air on the room wasn't very fresh, and annoyed that when I looked around I was in the mirror. In the end, I went for a proper walk, despite the sprinkling.

That's my grouch for the day. The rest of my weekend was good, I made lasagna (not ww) for the boys on sat night, and went for a big walk on sunday morning. We all went to eating world in china town for lunch (prawns and vegies for me) and then on to the By The Sea gig. It was great, my name was even on the door! (although I didn't know so paid anyway...). I did indulge in a $6 cocktail I could probably have done without, but I will make up for that this week.

Anyhoo. Work to get on with . Bye for now.

Sounds like a good time was had by all. On the weekend - not the treadmill ;) Good on you for walking despite the drizzling. I had a quick look out the window, but think I will give it a miss today. Hope you are having a wonderful day :)

I always feel like this too before TTOM. I learnt to accept it and thank goodness Dan has too ;-) Glad you went for a proper walk too. Your description of the treadmill has made me think twice about getting one now. It really does feel good to get outside and move. Sounds like you had a great weekend as well, whoot! Hope you have another great week. When your loss is bigger, it does motivate you more.
