Stuck in a Big Ol Rut

July 28, 2010

Hey ppl.

I’m kind of stuck in a rut.

I’m sure you’ve all felt like this…

just blah

ho hum

wah wah wahhhh

wokka wokka

Sooo until things start lookin a little more cheery, I’ll be watching serious Mad Men marathons, getting my butt in gear for the Disney Half Marathon, and planning NYC adventures.

Lata  alligatas. Have a great week!

Other than exercising, how do you get out of your ruts?

    How does Lady Gaga like her steak?

    I change up my routine to get out of a rut ORRRR I set a challenge for myself (this works the best).. I want to run x miles or do x amount of pushups by x.. it gives me something to work towards..

    I havent watch Madman, I think i would like it though. where did you watch the re-runs?

    I love the Alice in Wonderland Picture :)

    If I’m stuck in a rut, I cut my hair. Seriously. Something arbitrary (to me) like hair length or color can always make you feel fresher. I chopped mine when I graduated from college and then again from grad school. It’s liberating!!

    For me, ruts pass. I will just allow myself the day or 2 of being a mess then clean myself up and get back out in to the world as happy me. We can’t be in a good mood all the time, we are only human!

    If you’re training for a half marathon and planning a trip up here to NYC, how can you be stuck in a rut?! ;) I hope you’re able to find your way out of it soon. I have definitely been there too, and it is no fun.

    i feel the exact same way about being stuck in a rut! it totally blows and i need to get out of it asap. just wondering which half marathon you are training for… it wouldn’t happen to be the wine and dine one in october would it? if it is, i am doing that one also ;) have not even started training yet though, whoops!

    Well all have those ruts sometimes. SO impressed you’r doing the Disney Half! Yoga and cardio stuff always puts me in a better mood, and this sounds sooo cheesy so feel free to laugh BUT doing nice things for other people really cheers me up. Ok stop laughing. But the other day I was pissed off (for no good reason of course) so I wrote my mom a cutesie little note and gave it to her with choco and she loved it and it made me happy! Win-win :)

    Sorry to hear you’re in a rut! Thankfully, I haven’t been in one for awhile. That slao means I’m not sure how Id get out of one!

    I dig into an amazing read! Nothing like a good book to get inspired and cure the blahs :)

    Sorry to hear–but yes it does happen to everyone!
    I always hang out with friends and/or family–they
    are the best source of cheer :-)
