Off Day

June 13, 2011 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Today was an off day. It was definitely an off day.

  • I woke up late after a bad night of sleep that started on the couch and involved involuntary wake ups.
  • I was late and missed my morning workout so I didn’t get 20 minutes of cardio like I do most mornings.
  • I was hungry all day at work for no reason. I ate food but nothing stuck with me. Nothing. My stomach even growled an hour or two after lunch.
  • We had an emergency evacuation at our building… only to be told it was a false alarm.
  • I spent most of my day at work trying to fix a situation that wasn’t solvable from my side.
  • A bad storm rolled through town and doubled my commute home. Then when I got home and really wanted to cook dinner I discovered our power was out.
  • I got cranky after not eating for many hours and just wanted the very off day to end. I took it out on people near me who probably didn’t deserve it.

Luckily it’s ending soon because I’m going to bed early.

Every day can’t be a good day. Every day you can’t be on and having the best day ever. Sometimes circumstances and life change things and sometimes you just have an off day because you just feel different.

Today all of that happened to me, but I’m moving on from it. I expect tomorrow to be an amazing day. I have my first therapy session and yoga + Zumba, so it shaping up to be a great day. :)

ps – This post wasn’t to complain. It was just to say, things happen. move on. A reminder to myself and to you all. <3

    Well the good thing is it’s Monday. Hopefully you got all the bad stuff out the way and all set for a great rest of the week. :-)

    That is a great attitude to have about a bad day. It’s true, not everyday is a great one, it’s how we react to it that’s important.
    Hope your next day is better:)

    I completely agree. Today was an off day for me too! I went for my walk on the beach this morning but it was interrupted and I had to wait for the police to arrive (nothing serious just a hassle) This made getting to the gym late. It was really hot at the gym today so I had to leave early because I overheated.

    All in all, I will start over tomorrow. :)

      I actually normally like Mondays. So it was surprising for me to have an off day.

    Sorry you had an off day but hopefully all the days after this week will be good ones. You said you didn’t have a good night’s sleep and that got me wondering if you’re having the wedding dreams yet? I had bad dreams about things that could go wrong because I didn’t have something yet like my dress, caterer, etc and then they would stop once I had that detail covered. I thought I was the only one but many people confirmed it’s a regular thing.

      Haha, yes I’ve been having wedding dreams and rarely are the good. Even with the details covered I still dream about things and that probably won’t stop. But mostly my sleep is bad because I get woken up during the night multiple times and it’s hard for me to fall back asleep easily.
