Mad bad sad. Egad!

I'm feeling really bitchy and sad and generally over-emotional today. Hormones, of course, but the knowledge that it's chemical doesn't make the feelings any less powerful. I'm on supplements that have helped with the moodiness, but I still get a couple of days that are really not fun. Hard for me, hard to be around me. I'm supposed to run today, but I don't feel like it, and I don't want to force myself to run when I don't feel like it, because I love to run and don't want to feel like I have to do it. But I have cramps something awful, and I have to do some kind of workout or they will just get worse and my crankiness and feeling bad will get worse too. Maybe some Insanity is called for- certainly, it would be appropriate today.

Edited later:
So I did some Insanity. I literally said out loud to myself "I can wallow or I can move my ass. I choose to move." It wasn't the calorie burner and satisfaction-creator that a long run would have been, but I did something, and that was what was important. It said to me that I make the choice to do what I do - I am not at the mercy of my hormones and I get to decide what I do today. I rarely regret working out - I only regret not working out.
