cranky

Ok--so I ran 13 miles with K. over the weekend and 6 on Tuesday. But then my runner's toe sort of got outta hand and I ended up at a podiatrist (read: mid-evil torturer) who ripped the nail on my second toe on my left foot clean out.

Ouch.

I haven't run since Tuesday and it is making me cranky as hell. Well, that and the pms.

Oh, and the 7 freakin' pounds I gained over the course of the summer. I have a million excuses why this SHOULDN'T have happened (mega running & following my weight watchers program diligently) yet it still DID happened.

And I can't blame anyone for that but me.

I go back and forth between renewed devotion to my weight loss program and throwing my hands up and stuffing my face in a large pie. Covered with chocolate. And pure sugar.

My body doesn't feel like my own anymore. Did I tell you that I now get an allergic reaction whenever I drink alcohol? It would be funny if it weren't so scary. Like numb lips and swollen face after a few sips scary. I might have a mold allergy.

Can mold allergies make you gain weight? No? Well, I tried.

I go to the doctor in October to cry to her about my inability to drink and my fear that whatever is in those drinks might show up in a food and, you know, kill me.

Poor 'ole me. Wah wah. I have a boo boo on my toe and I am gaining weight and I can't have a glass of wine and my period is coming. Boo hoo. My life is so so so so so so hard.

I need a good kick in the pants. Please, someone tell me to get over my damn self.

erm... you can be cranky. It's ok. ;)

or, um, if you prefer...

get over yourself!

over the summer I put on all the weight I had lost in the spring, and then some. I have 3 pairs of (non-elastic waisted) shorts that fit comfortably.

something must be done.

That really sucks, so I think a little crankiness is totally in order.

What! Weight gain, body pains and no alcohol. Might as well be pregnant. I'd be grumpy too.

Oh, not helping. Well get over yourself. You could actually be pregnant.

Love you.

Well, you know I'm not going to give you a kick in the pants. But I'll stroke your hair a little and say, "There, there Christine. It will be alright." Because it WILL be alright.

Hang in there, which might be considerably harder without the benefits of alcohol. Damn.

Ugh. I've had my nails removed a few times and that hurts!

During the depths a couple weeks ago, I actually ate frosting from a can. I'm totally addicted to the sugar rush. My body is all out of whack. You are not alone.

It is awful when you're in it. Feel better soon.

What? You are cranky and can't have alcohol?! That's not good.

BTW - I pull my own toenails off...gross, I know. Hopefully I will finish my marathon this year and not have to do that again :)

I gained 15 pounds of weight last winter which I've lost... three pounds of, so far. I'm very sad about this.
(and I miss you, so I just subscribed to your running blog...)

Seriously now, can we please live close to each other? We could run and bitch and then eat chocolate. I'm trying to get my mileage back up after baby, but it's hard to find the time..
