Sending out an APB for my Motivation

I feel like I have been in such a funk a lately.  Yesterday, I didn't do shit all day.  I sat around and watched episode after episode of Dexter, dicked around face book, read a little... All that laziness wore me out so I took about a 1.5 hour nap.  I decided to try to be motivated about 7:00 pm and run.  I only got in about a mile, because my stomach was gurgling something fierce. I needed to get home fast! I figured I would let that pass and get on my mom's really cute beach cruiser that she left at my house and tool around the hood a bit.  While I was pumping the tires, another wave of needing to run to the bathroom came over me.  It passed.  I continued to pump and the damn pump broke.  Despite the encouraging efforts of my friend and neighbor to get me to ride (Katie Barrett shout out), I decided to listen to the signs and call it a night.  Thank God I did or I would have gone all Bridesmaids scene in the middle of my neighborhood. 

Today I started it off right with a good 3.5 mile, but I am not motivated to eat healthy.  blah!  In the beginning of this I was excited to make new recipes and was having fun.  The novelty has worn off.  I am sick of all the prep and clean up it is taking.  I feel like I spend all day in the kitchen.  I need to get some good ideas on how to make this work when I head back to work in 11 days...ugh.

  1. OK, so I feel your pain. I hate eating "healthy". Maybe the trick is to hide the healthy with a hint of bad? I like to mix a can of white tuna in H20 (little can) with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, red wine vinegar, black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of mayo (there is the bad). I eat it out of the bowl or on wheat pita, rice cake, whatever. It doesn't taste bad - actually I like it. I usually am so excited to have the taste of mayo that I forget about everything else! I used to take this to work in a container and keep in fridge. Pop out at lunch and put on a pita. Works good. I have also tried the same with shredded roasted chicken and that works as well. Worth a shot!
