Monday

I've started this blog entry several times now, but had to edit. Too much negativity and really, there's no reason for it.

My eating over the weekend was in line but my workouts are limping along. I'm blaming it on Daylight Saving Time and trying to keep moving forward. My energy will come back and the workouts will get better again as long as I stick with it. (And yes I've been getting plenty of rest, so it's not that.)

(Would someone please tell my co-worker that none of us really cares which flavor of Slim-Fast she prefers? Seriously. She's talking to another co-worker and that has been the topic of the very one-sided conversation for the past hour. I'm sorry they discontinued Chocolate Fudge but there's nothing I can do about it!!!)

((Rose)) I'm sorry you're feeling less than 100% but there's no reason to edit out negativity. It's your blog! You can whine if you want to!

PS: Slim Fast? Do people really depend on that stuff?

Thanks, Marie. I'm doing better. The weather shift/time change this time of year always puts me in a funk but it's nothing too serious. Maybe a mild form of SAD? I edited out the negativity because it really didn't reflect how I was feeling.

A little discontent is one thing but what I kept writing made me sound like I needed to be in the care of professionals. Or at the very least, I needed to have someone hide all the sharp objects in the house.

As for the Slim-Fast, really, in her case, it has nothing to do with SF. I mean, on most days, she's pretty much a self-professed expert on everything and she has no problems spending hours on any subject.

It's kinda sad actually. She is a really lonely person who doesn't seem to have much of a social outlet beyond the people at work. And when she finds someone to talk to about anything, she just talks and talks and talks and talks.

She actually has something of a reputation at the office. "Better go rescue the newbie. (S)He's being M---'d."

We (other co-workers and I) have observed that she's at her 'worst' on Mondays, probably because there was no one to talk to over the weekend.

She also seems to be lacking in a few social skills. Or at least the ones that allow you to recognize social cues to end conversations. I'm not sure why (she really isn't an evil person). She credits her ability to focus on her 2-3 yrs experience teaching kindergarteners.
