Feeling better! Finally. :)

Oh, man...making it FIVE whole days without a decent workout was almost worse than having strep. Almost. Put both unfortunate circumstances together, and you have one miserable GG.

Update: I started this entry almost an hour and a half ago...but got sidetracked when I decided my blog needed more pictures, because I'm boring myself to tears. More pictures translated into cartoons, which led to browsing through dozens I didn't like, then finally downloading a paint program and spending over an hour doodling to make some of my own. Bestie and I now have our own avatars in my comic world. Greeeaaat. As IF I needed another time-sucking creative outlet. Between writing two books, freelance editing, and blogging (not to mention my JOB)...I DEFINITELY needed something else to fill my "free" time.  Blah.

Oh, well. I'm feeling very non-productive today. I'm very rested, which is sadly unusual and leaves me feeling rather hyper. I want to go on an adventure!! Not good for getting things accomplished. TOM is still being a no-show, which is stupid (no, I CANNOT be pregnant...trust me. I'm just an overweight hypothyroid whose skinny mother never had a regular cycle, either). *sigh* Maybe my run this morning will trigger something. I can only hope.

I feel like I'm stuck in a sad place, physically-speaking. I've been sick, my hormones are all icky, my body is retaining water in preparation for a visitor who REFUSES to arrive, I would like to eat my substantial weight in chocolate, and I'm terrified of looking at the scale. I'm pretty sure even a brief interlude with Mr. Scale would result in a complete breakdown of my heretofore impressively maintained sanity. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I may be starting back at the beginning weight-wise, folks. *LAME!!!*

BAH!! But it's not the most important thing, darn it!! I'm feeling so much better, I'm back to exercising, and my food is where it should be. I HAVEN'T attacked any chocolate (vegan or otherwise). My life is amazing. My hockey teams BOTH won on Saturday (although they play each other on Wednesday, which may or may not cause my head to explode). I don't hate my job. My bed is amazingly soft, and I have bubble bath that smells like caramel. This weight thing is gonna work out. Just gotta have a little faith. And maybe a cartoon or two. :D
