Happy Hump Day roll call
Steffi, I rarely like how I look when I leave my house. Sometimes even feel embarrassed. But get compliments. Then I think people are doing to be a smart ass or just to be nice.
I am messed up though.......don't follow me, I will lead you to the hells of self esteem issues!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Steffi,
All i can say is YES i feel your pain! I get my clothes for work together the night before because i pack them in the gym bag... that gives me time to try them on and put together an outfit that looks nice and actually matches most of the time - haha. However, there are mornings when I'm getting dressed at the gym and wondering WHAT i was thinking when I picked these clothes. Yes, they fit but I don't like the way they make me look. I've realized that the exact same outfit will generate that feeling on different days, too... (yes, Steffi, I make the fashion mistake of repeating outfits, so just shush - i never do it on contiguous days - haha!) Anyway, that is making me realize that there's nothing "objective" about it... it's just my addict-brain doing its best to mess me up and get back into control.
On the mornings when I get dressed at home instead of at the gym, even if i've carefully picked out an outfit the night before, I'm much more likely to be self-critical and change it 5 or 6 times.
Ah well. All part of the continuing journey.
You're not alone. And honey, you look FABULOUS!

Good morning everyone -
Today has me at wor****il 3:30. After that, I'm going to head home for some R & R with my honey before I head out to support group tonight (maybe not though, if the roads seem icy).
I'm purposely skipping the gym today. I went last night and really pushed myself with cardio. The night before I went and pushed hard with weights. I feel semi-exhausted today. It's possible that the craziness and lack of schedule from last week is catching up with me too. I've been a been a bit cranky. Is there such a thing as POST-MS rather than PMS ???
Hope everyone has a good day. Safe travels to those who are on the road.

Morning everyone. Hope everyone is having a great day so far. I feel absolutely fantastic this morning. Moved my lazy butt last night for the first time in a long time and it really made me feel great, it was only a mile but just getting out there and doing something felt good. I also think I actually got all my protein in yesterday for the first time in just about ever. I got this protein thing going and have been more aware of what I am eating and planning a little more and now some exercise. Get this, I actually lost a couple pounds in the past week. If I stick with this exercise thing and keep it up with the food and protein, I might just lose some more. Amazing how doing the things I am supposed to do, actually work and take pounds off. I needed this little wake up call. Reading your posts on here everyday are a tremendous motivator to me. I am proud to call you all my friends.
Anyhow, enough of the sappy, you gals / guys are wonderful nonsense.
I am working till 5 and then home. Nothing planned tonight that I know of. Dinner, kids to bed and then do my mile again.
Steffi, I am pretty sure you aren't the only one that feels like that. Even guys have their moments like that, especially after losing all that weight. I am extremely thankful that my jobs require a uniform of some sort and I never have to decide what to wear in the morning. The only decision required on my part, is what color underwear.
Have a great day everyone...
