I needed a kick in the pants today

I didn't sleep very good last night.  I hate hate hate being tired.  just ask my husband, I am no fun when I am tired.  I am feeling a serious lack of motivation today. 

Maybe I shouldn't have had chocolate cake with my coffee this morning that always makes me feel like crap and I know it.  Chocolate cake just goes so good with coffee, so sue me.

I found this























and with that I am off to get in a workout and drink lots of water

I know when I am done I will feel better and more energized.  I am also going to eat a HUGE veggie salad for lunch with a tilapia (not labia as my son kept calling it last night) filet.  Hopefully that will detox my over caked/sugared up overtired system. 

and hopefully the stars will realign and I will be able to get in a run.  It is super foggy out today and I am hoping to run in the fog.  It looks really peaceful.
Not sure the cat is enjoying this hug as much as my daughter is, but I do know she is a great hugger snuggler.
Have a great Monday!

    Have a great day Christy!

    Coffee and chocolate cake - YUM! But I am sure once you start eating your salad and tilapia, you will get those sugar out of your system and you will feel better!

    Love the picture of your daughter. She looks like she really love that kitty.

    Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow will be better. :)

    why in the world does chocolate cake and coffee make you feel bad? If that's what I had for breakfast I'd be in a glorious mood!

    i have a very set sleeping pattern and travel for work always throws me off, so I have to work really hard to be chipper those days :) hey I like sleeping!

    I know at home a great big green smoothie helps, but on the road it's just lots of green tea.

    Someone needs to tattoo that statement on my face, as I am constantly questioning where my motivation is. My butt needs a serious kick!

    I am dying laughing at your son calling tilapia labia! Oh my gosh! I lose motivation when I am tired too. But I always feel better when I get out there and do it, it is the getting myself out the door that is the hardest! Hope you slept better last night.

    My sister "hugged" our cats a lot when we were younger and their faces normally looked like that too!
