At 7 am est, up here in midcoast Maine, it is already a gorgeous day by most standards- sunny, blue sky, light to no wind and perhaps a high of fifty later on. A day to make your heart sing, right? Then why am I so grumpy?
I am going to try to figure it out, and deal with it, on the backs of YOU, dear reader. Welcome to whee.

There's nothing particularly tragic or sad going on. Just life stuff that most folks have to deal with at least sometimes, and some much more often than I.
My beloved (strange, the affection we often feel for our cars, no?) five hundred dollar beater car is, finally, not worth fixing. My work truck has a very flat tire (it's been parked all winter.) So I will be dealing with that this morning.
Though I am pleased about being comfortable in pants that were to small not very long ago, I am feeling unmotivated to work as hard on my cardio as I had been, just kind of bored with it. I am still very much into the strength training, so that's a plus. But I have sort of plateued in my weight loss, though that is not the whole picture. For the most part I am eating very healthfully- filling up on veggies, fruits, lean proteins and whole grains, but I am often feeling hungry within an hour after eating, (no chinese food involved!) and a little deprived. And I am giving in to that a bit....
The dawn of this gorgeous pre-spring day should be a spirit lifter. Spring will be here before I know it and that is a good thing but I am vaguely troubled by all the things I had planned to accomplish this winter as it becomes more clear that the clock is ticking. There are some other odds and ends I could complain about, but you get the jist of it. I have a sense of general malaise, or, as my not-a-doctor has diagnosed me, cabin fever.
Having complained a bit, I am already feeling better. The toast and coffee didn't hurt, either! It's important for me to remember that feelings, good or bad, change. And I have some tricks up my sleeve to help get me going. Do you have a cabin fever reliever to share?
I am going to get scrubbed up and go find a nice trail to hike. Before I deal with cars. I'll be checking in around noon. In the meantime, enjoy a saturday morning cartoon!
