Yesterday, you couldn't get me to do anything without some sort of sigh, or comment, or some sort of ... of negative energy. I was whinging about everything imaginable.
Co-workers annoyed me: I think I spent 4 hours yesterday spinning my wheels on a project. I could not get any of my co-workers to get on the same page with me. In the end, I had to do many pieces of the project myself, and others, I needed to push out their completion dates. I hate that.
Walking at lunch in the beautiful sunlight annoyed me: I decided to go for a walk at lunch because needed a break. The weather was nice, but the wind kept blowing my hair in my face, I have a nagging blister on my big toe, and a co-worker who came with me spent the whole walk talking about depressing topics. Total bummer.
Doing the dishes annoyed me: I had a whole sink full. I know it was my turn, but I work all day and I just don't wanna. Phewy.
My Coach annoyed me: So, as a result of my utter charm, Sweetheart just said to me, 'that's it. Get your gear on. Get out. Go for a walk, go for a run, go to the gym. Do what you have to do, but get out. Move.'
He really pissed me off. I really wanted to tell him to go @#$#@$. However, I was feeling pretty crappy, so what the heck, right?
So, I grudgingly put my gear on at 10:30 last night and decided to run my block a few times. Well, 1 time turned to 2. 2 turned to 4. In the end I ran 16x's for a total of over 4 miles. I felt fan-flipping tastic! I ran 10 minute miles. I didn't feel tired. It was perfect turn around to a pissy day.
I love my Coach. Who is your coach and how do they piss you off?

Great job on ending the day on a positive note! You'll be rewarded.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I need a coach, too. And a lover. Maybe I find both in one person? Haha.

ReplyDeleteOh Missa, you're such a champion. Good for you dear girl. I so look forward to being able to run!!
ReplyDeleteAND thank you for noticing that I've been away... I'm flattered. I'm back now... wrote my first blog tonight after a challenging move.
I can not tell you how many times I am having a shitty day and I look up and figure out it is because I did not work-out that morning.
ReplyDeleteThen I will go for a run and, I don't know, maybe the endorphins start flowing and "all is right with the world".
Weird.
Hey! Thanks!
