Don't really know what is going on with me

I don't really know what is happening but it has finally been cool enough the raining has stopped that you would think I could start running again but I have not. The alarm went off this morning and I hit the snooze button for almost an hour before just getting up and showering and heading into work early. (I have already been here for 20 minutes) Lately I have felt worn out and unmotivated to get out and run, I know a lot of it has to do with the way work has been going lately but the running used to help me clear my head and put me in a better place but I can't seem to even get out of bed anymore. On top of that I have not been eating as well as I could be and am starting to get scared that I am about to open the flood gates and gaining weight. The good news is I have not stopped working out totally and have been working the upper body this week so at least I am doing something. Yesterday I went to lunch with the guys from work and had a turkey burger (good) and fries (bad). I have gotten back on the N-O and protein as part of my workouts and it is paying off again, I am seeing some definition start to show up in my arms and shoulders and there is a bit less jiggle when I hop. I also tried a supplements that I bought a few weeks ago that is supposed to be drank while you are working out called Advanced Recoup. It has all kinds of vitamins and other minerals that are supposed to support faster muscle recovery and reduce soreness after workouts. I am a little sore this morning but not too bad so I think it may be working. I will use some more again tomorrow when I wake up to exercise and we will see if the results are the same. Once thing I can say about the Advanced Recoup is the fruit punch flavor does not taste very good at all. I am waiting to see if it is more of the same tomorrow. For someone who weighs as much as I do the directions are to have three scoops with 8 to 10 oz of water so I had to use one of my wife's large water mug from the local hospital. As it turns out I grabbed one of four mugs that has a crack in it so I think I was tasting a little bit of the stuff that is in the cup  to keep in insulated. I tossed that cup in the trash and will see if the taste of the Recoup changes at all. One last note of good news to end on a high note, I don't feel fat and gross this morning and yesterday I was able to do two sets of 10 push ups and a two (count them two) pull ups. I know not all that big of a deal but I have never been able to do a pull up in my life so it is a big deal to me.  I will let everyone know how tomorrow's birthday workout goes.
