Still here.

Kind of in a mood today - I think part of it is the impending end of my job (which was now pushed out to next Friday) but mostly it's PMS related (considering that I also have been craving guacamole for the past 24 hours.)

I kind of am annoyed at the resolutionists (as one of my buddies called them) since I've seen crap in my fb feed from them (including one where a guy literally started a blog to take pictures of his abs, not making this up.) Don't get me wrong, I am very supportive of anyone who's legitimately trying to make a life change but so much of the resolutionist crowd is fake and suddenly they're a bunch of know-it-alls about what works and what doesn't. If they knew what "worked" long-term they wouldn't be making the same resolution year in, year out, now would they?

I've spent a good chunk of today trying to tie up loose ends from last year. Some of it is errands (such as picking up my glasses), some is logistics (finalizing my spring class schedule), and some is just general life stuff. I just want to get this to-do list taken care of and move forward for what's next since I know my life is going to drastically change again.

But I know this uncertainty will pass, I know the PMS mood swings will go away in a day or two and I know that I'll figure out a way forward. Just now going through one minute at a time when the need arises. Feeling really tired today - I could've fallen asleep on my desk. I'm sure it's a combo of stuff.

Anyway, I'll get through...

Affirmations for today:
1) Everything gets sorted out eventually

2) I need to be patient with myself and the adjustments I'm going through

3) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life

It's strange to see all the remorse-filled people joining FatSecret in the past couple of days after over-indulging on the holidays. I hope they stick with it for the long haul.

I hate the resolutionists, always have. I went into radio silence sort of on FB, I am really tired of hearing all the negativity my friends have been spewing since the year changed. I have found in the past any "resolution" I made for myself was great for 2 weeks and then I just quit doing what ever it was, I did make goals for myself this year but thats it. As for the PMS, I am doing the same thing right now and I am as my youngest brother said to day " not a joy to be around at the moment", keep plugging away girl things will get better.

Resolutions work for me, personally (both weight loss and quitting smoking!) But I share the irritation- especially at the gym. Every machine, every class: packed. It won't last long. As far as the new people here... I guess I kind of see it as an opportunity to reach out to people, because some of them are serious- I was. The "imgonnalose20poundssoicanfittheawesomedress" crowd will be gone soon enough :)

I'm not referring to people wanting to make a serious change, but the ones who every year talk the same crap, want the same quick fix, don't really care how they do it. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Meanwhile, the packed nature annoys me. I want peace to work out - not to have to fight for space, lol.
