So heres the thing, there are days when we should NOT leave the house, we should shut the phone off, we should disconnect the internet, and we should NOT pay attention. Today was one of those days for me. It was brutal. I felt betrayal, inadequacie, girl issues, and professional problems. I felt alienated, disgusted, financially over extended, and really quite bad. I felt this growing all day, it was just coming and coming and coming. It was going to result in bad movie rentals, cookies and milk, and buffalo wings and two liters of mountain dew.
But, I felt it coming. I tweeted it, andthe tweeterverse, specifically Wendy, and Cheryl, Lacy, Shawn and Carlos all stepped and were so supportive of me, and talked me off the bad sugar ledge. Just with their presence. Just with a calming touch electronically, with a kind word in a time of betrayal.
So tonight I went to the gym, and had a mediocre workout, but it was good enough, and I am happy enough that right now I feel amazing. I feel so lucky to have friends like these.
Now, it is 315 am, and I feel so proud of myself. I broke another ten pound weight loss barrier, and that is simply intoxicating. So those that want to tell me I am on the wrong path, making bad choices, or whatever, I trust my judgement, and I do not think I am going to waver from my path. I am right.
