pookey-wookey

Today, I'm feeling reeeeeally pookey.  In my neck of the woods, that means I'm feeling pretty down-in-the-dumps.  The last couple of days, I have been wracked with mostly self-inflicted anxiety.  Saturday I nearly ate my weight in snacks and meals.  Thankfully, Sunday, I got out for a really nice walk on the local bike trail - the crunchy snow added a little extra challenge, which was actually very appreciated.  Today, after several HOURS of computer work (bleh!) I took the dogs for a jog/walk.  That made me not only feel better about my physical activity but, of course, helped improve my mood for a while.  I also ate lots of veggies yesterday and today, which has an affect on both my perceptions of self and actual body feelings.  After the outing today, I made myself a really nice epsom salt-baking soda-bubble bath and read a fun book.  These are the things that are keeping me going today as I work very persistently in not having a pity-party for self.  Ahhhh!!  Good balances the not so fun.  Sometimes, a day is just not so spectacular.  Still gotta take care of self :-)  Move the body, consume healthful nutrients, and rest.  Do your best. :-)
