Today Was a Good Day
I think today qualifies as a good day. I woke up before my alarm, feeling okay and went to therapy. I did have some heartburn all day, but other than that there's been no major problems. My therapist and I talked a lot about the girl at work I've been having problems with and we've come up with some reasons she might have an attitude with me so I can understand her better. With understanding comes acceptance or something. I at least have a better grip on why she might not like me so I don't take it so personally. My therapist was telling me to bring a book or something so I'm distracted and don't notice her attitude and only when I'm needed to translate to jump in. Overall, I came away with more knowledge of the situation and better coping skills (empathy and ignoring). The girl at work called in sick today, so I didn't have to deal with her today, either, which made it a better day as well. I was supposed to go in tomorrow, but I decided that I wanted to stay home and get some rest. I did have a long day today, so I want to be able to sleep in as late as I want to tomorrow to make up some sleep. As it is, I'm winding down and getting ready to go to sleep.
Things overall went well for me today. I caught all my buses on time, and I had a nice lunch at Panera Bread. I got out of therapy on time, so I had time to go over there and enjoy one of their combos (Thai chicken salad and a side of broccoli and cheese soup). It was really yummy, and I enjoyed just being there and watching the people. I almost missed my bus, but I made it on time yay lol. Lunch wasn't bad on calories, either. I was in my calorie range for the day, and tomorrow I'm going to try and work out to burn off some of these calories I've been accumulating without burning. I joined a walk/jog 5K program on Spark People.com, and so we will see how that goes. I was thinking about starting it next week, but I'm feeling up to it today so I will see how I feel tomorrow. Sorry all, you are going to have to deal with me talking more about exercise once I start it... I want to get into shape, darnit! I want to be able to run my 5K. I don't plan on running this one, but I do plan on running one by the end of the year hopefully. That's a pretty big goal for me, but it's something I want to do. Once I set my mind to it, I can do anything. I'm getting myself out of a depression with the help of therapy and medications, so that's good too. I'm determined not to get down, and I know that exercise is only going to help me.
I remember so many times when I was training for my first 5K that when I felt down, I went for a walk and felt better. Well, running makes me feel even better physically than walking, so I'm hoping that it will give me a bigger emotional benefit as well. When I was in high school, I would go running and it would just be me and the pavement and it was so nice. It was my time to clear my mind and leave all my worries behind. I'm hoping this depression lifts soon so I can start waking up early and going for a jog before work. That wouldn't work out too well right now, since yesterday I woke up right on time to get to work (12:15pm to be at work by 2). I know that I'm going to be feeling better, so I'm going to up my mood to good. Tomorrow's going to be a good day, and I'm going to go for my jog and everything is going to be good. I have to be positive, because if I'm negative then only negative things are going to happen. You get what you expect out of life. As a friend has in her sig- “Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right”, so I'm going to say I can and do it!
Other than lunch, food was good today. In calorie range and all. Mood was good, too. I had a bit of stress at work when there was a woman complaining about something that she was really emotional about, but there was nothing I could do to help her so I felt bad. Another guy came up to me in Spanish and started asking me all these questions and wouldn't let me ask things back, but other than those two incidents work was good. I got about 8 hours of sleep last night, so that's why I'm so keen on getting some more sleep tonight. Have a good night!
