Ever feel annoyed or have a crap day and don't feel like working out? Yesterday I did. Too much side bs and when it was time to hit gym, I went to take a nap. I was just so annoyed with everything at work, got into it with DH about something stupid that neither one of us can control, my mom's cat is reaking havoc at my house and I'm annoyed that my mom is staying with us. All things I have no control over and since I'm a control freak, its messing with my mojo. I took a power nap and hit the gym late bc I snapped outta it. Whats pissing me off is that I was still annoyed today. I'm not my usual self and I really don't like feeling this way bc that's when I make excuses for not working out. I'm ok diet wise today and not getting that usual, " i feel bad so lets eat cake" feeling. More like my head hurts and I don't want to do anything. Ill push thru it no doubt, but I don't like it when I feel this way bc I usually am super duper excited to work out and never let pettiness deter me in any way .. and today I did.. MEH... we all have bad days, time to get over it !!

Sometimes life just seems to spin out of control. I use exercise to re-center myself. It doesn't make the crap go away but I find it helps me handle it. Since I suffer from anxiety I need the release. Good luck in finding your center.

I don't know how you do it, Red. The fact that there is a mother taking up space in your home would be enough to rattle my nerves. I've never had to deal with this, TG. In some families it works, in some in just causes endless arguments. May her situation straighten out soon!

Soon, its driving me crazy. i spent the earlier half of my life trying to get away from her and now I stuck with her. I get by knowing its only temp and literally spend 2 hrs at the gym each afternoon so I can get some "privacy". It def does not work for us bc we have different lifestyles but in my heart I have to do the right thing and just suck it up.... At least I have DH to lean on .

Mother taking up space... Wow. Some of you might get your wishes right back at you and your children will treat you in the same way you treated their grandparents. I would like to offer some pearls of Wisdom: check The Story of an Old Father, His Son and the Sparrow...And god help you.

We all have days like that Red push through, get some bidders and spray where the cat is wreaking havoc and just stay strong this is one of those days to just get the hell out of the way :)

It's days like those that I need to go to the gym most! Getting in there and pumping iron is therapeutic for me on days like this.

Sesuo, thank you for your input and unwanted opinion.Im not being a ungrateful or hateful daughter here. Both my parents abandoned me as a child and went on to start new families. My mother never did anything to help raise me other then once every 3 yrs she would decide she wanted me back and try and forceably remove me from my safe and loving home. She never told me she loved me, never bought me school clothes, birthday presents and never cared if her husband at the time abused me and my sisters or she treated me and my sisters like maids. To this day, she still cant pay her rent, keep a house, car or job and doesn't even bother to say thank you when you help her out bc as my mother she feel entitled to live off me and my family. So Im sorry if my complaining about my POS Mom bothers you.. you dont know the whole story.. And my apologies to my buddies and friends for this post. I never ever share or overshare the bad side of my past but Susuo's comment really hurt my feelings. Sorry again..

Wow Red, might it be time to step back from such a toxic relationship? I'm not saying it is, just hate to see anyone in such turmoil. Hard choices are hard to make....

Rckc, I rarely deal with ever.. she was just left in situation and needed my help badly. If I can get her situated this time in her new rent controlled place, Ill be done with her for a while and wont have to deal with her other than an occasional ride bc she has agreed to let my sister manage her finances. So I feel like the ends justify the means if I can just put up with her for a month or two.. Im so sorry for dumping this here... My post was meant as rant about not wanting to work out and I let is turn into this.. My apologies again buddies... Did not want to unload my luggage here....

I'm like...remembering something I read somewhere.......what was it now......Oh yeah! Something like, unhealthy attachments are the source of suffering (or something like that). ;)

Absolutely feel free to rant to your hearts content, lol! And you might want to try to view the gym as a solace from all of that unnecessary stress :) Endorphins are great!
