Saturday February 19

Another dud week. What a bummer.  And this negativity has got to stop!
 
I have definitely fallen into the procrastination "start tomorrow" trap and I can't get up.  What is with this??!  I'm getting very fed up with my attitude and downright laziness - even the warmer weather and sunshine this week couldn't shake this mindset.
 
I did go to the doctor this week and then back again for blood work so maybe it is something else besides fatness and I'll find out next week.  Best to find out first, and if it's just fatness, then I need to get going with some swift kicks to the behind to get myself going.  My doctor is great and she did say " You had very bad infections in January and it will take awhile to get over them - you are no young chick!"  And she's right, and even though I didn't expect to bounce right back, I also didn't figure I'd roll off into a corner and hibernate!  Sometimes it's hard to go to the doctor when you're overweight and not feeling well - you could find out it's just the extra pounds that are causing the symptoms and since you already know you need to lose weight, it makes it more frustrating.  BUT, if it is something else and you're just blaming pounds and the fact that you're not a "young chick" anymore, it might be a treatable issue and you'll feel better in the long run.  Round and round your mind can go and it can be very tiring.
 
It's too bad that having your brain run around in circles doesn't burn extra calories -- but then again who wants to walk around with a pea-sized head??!
