Yesterday was one of those days. Sadly, my search for a friend to meet me at the nearest Chili's for some margaritas, chips and salsa and what I might call a "bitch-about-life-session" turned up with no one able to go.
Not that I called anyone - I just looked through my phone and made up reasons why so-and-so wouldn't be able to go with me. Mostly, I didn't think I could emotionally handle being told no without taking it personally and landing in the pit of "Everybody hates me, nobody likes me, my life sucks!"
Oh man, being a woman is hard sometimes people.
I ended up eating with Todd and Tommy at a local restaurant - the two people in my life who can definitely not say no. I vented to him about my not-so-very-awful day that felt very awful because PMS just has a way of making a regular day with mild irritations seem like the world is ending.
After dinner we stopped for ice cream and I basically just ate the hot fudge out of my sundae and left the ice-cream, because hello. Chocolate.
The day ended with a semi-vigorous workout and I suddenly felt about 87 times better than I had before. I saw a quote recently that said, "A good mood is only a workout away." I found this to be true as I went to bed with a clearer head, a satisfied chocolate craving, and some much needed endorphins.
Apparently the cure for my horrible PMSish symptoms are a healthy dose of chocolately goodness followed by some exercise. After almost 19 years of being a "woman" I finally know what my body needs.
Seriously. Being a woman and being attacked by uncontrollable hormones morphs me into this crazy person sometimes.
Does anyone else have a cure for the crazy PMS monster?
I hear ya girly! I had one of those days last week.Damn hormones! And our poor hubby's! haha
ReplyDeleteI would like to blame my current chocolate craving on P.M.S...however I'm well aware that It's just pure greed. I could easily murder a chocolate brownie covered in hot fudge sauce and chocolate (Ben & Jerry's fudge brownie) ice cream. How many WW points do you think THAT splurge would be?! haha
Hey! I know you havn't met me, but I'm a friend of Heather's. I hope it's OK that I comment on this:
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Many times when I just can't handle my life, a really good run clears my head! I can breathe easier (even though, at the time, I am gasping for air) and I can definitely laugh easier. My problems seem much smaller and nothing I can't handle. God seems much closer because I can focus on Him and not my problems. Also, ramen help too :)
I hate that time of the month :(
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had a kind of crappy day, but yay for working out making you feel better! I've been finding that too, lately. :)
