Hi, bloggy world.
It's Negative Nancy, Moody Mandy & Pessimist Polly here today.
Guys, I've been rocking with a BAD mood all day. :( I think it's job stress really taking over right now.
How do you shake yourself out of a bad mood??
It's just one of those daaaays. I need to sit, shush, listen to some calming music or go workout - although today, that seems like that last thing I want to do.
_____________________________________________
Instead of this being full of my whining, yesterday was a GOOD day! Back at my parents place and I got to chill out :)
I did 6 miles on the treadmill, while watching Sugar Dome on the Food Network. First time I've seen that show - I love. They were making some amazing Dr.Suess creations.

During it, I was dreaming of food in general and got a massive craving for a subway sub.

What's your fave sub??
I used to be tuna through and through...but maaan, the egg salad sub has me hooked!
American Idol is back tonight!! Anyone watching? I love easy-watching and no-thinking type of tv! I'm glad it's back! Mariah Carey is one of my all time faves!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY guys - time to shake off this crappy mood!!
Last night i was having a night like that and I just don't know why. Sometimes it just happens. Here is what I did: hugged someone I love, did some exercise and stretching, watched an episode of a tv show that always makes me laugh, made a list of everything I'm grateful for. i hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI wrote out a list of things I'm grateful for! ahh, thank you :)
DeleteSometimes I just try to force myself to smile/laugh -- I hear that releases some good hormones. Since you think it might be from work-related stress, maybe you can do something to relax you a little, like a walk with a friend or read a book for fun.
ReplyDeleteI needed this reminder - I used to do that a lot too (forcing smile/laugh, it DOES help!) Thanks!!
DeleteI know those moods and they are definitely, usually stress related lol.
ReplyDeleteUsually if I'm in a bad mood it's because I'm tired. When I was a kid, my mom taught me to use the acronym HALT when I was sad. Are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired? We always made fun of it, but I still use it sometimes.:)
ReplyDeleteThat is a good one!
DeleteThat is a VERY good one - I think I was hungry and very tired!
DeleteLady! I cant even believe you ditched the tuna for egg salad. I have been a tuna sub girl since who knows [Italian at Quiznos]!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your day gets better. I think work related down days are the absolute worst kind. Usually when I am in a bad mood I listen to angry music and drive, but since you aren't much of a driver I'd say coffee and hitting up the eaton center for some retail therapy. (:
When I'm in a bad mood, I try to imagine that I'm breathing in happiness and farting out rainbows. You'd be surprised at how well this works!
ReplyDeleteaaaahaha there's no better visual!
DeleteI hope you are able to snap your funky mood! That was (is) me today, and I even had a convo with my husband this morning about how silly it is to hold grudges and let them consume your life. So I tried to let all those silly things throughout the day go. Tried ;)
ReplyDeleteThat picture of you with the subway sandwich made me laugh. I love a girl a with an appetite! Can you hear it? ...five ...five dollar ...five dollar foot loooong!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though: cheer up, buttercup! Curl up with your favorite book!
hahahahah my friends and I sing that 5 dollar foot long song to each other allllllll the time!
DeleteAw- cheer up! A good sweat session always helps me, even if it's the last thing you want to do! That, or hot chocolate, a book, and snuggles with my pup.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I've never watched a minute of American Idol or any of those singing/talent shows. But I would like to watch the one where Britney judges!
Cheer up!
I feel ya on the bad mood... I've been working on a research paper since this morning... my eyes burn..
ReplyDeleteI hope your paper is going well.. :)
DeleteGo for a wak:) have a hot bath with a good book, hope you cheer up soon!
ReplyDeleteI think that Subway sub alone would have cheered me up! haha I'm obsessed with Subway...love the Italian BMT. I usually get that as a post race dinner.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of your day was better! I felt the same way yesterday because of work stress, too. Hopefully having a good show to watch tonight will cheer you up!
Running ALWAYS gets me out of my bad mood, without fail.
ReplyDeleteWatching Idol right now; I gotta see how I feel about the new judges. I dislike Nikki Minaj, so she has work to do.
ReplyDeleteI hate those days when everything is just waaaaaah. Hope you find some sunshine soon! A long nap and a good laugh always helps!!
ReplyDeleteI have never bought tuna or egg salad at subway! Weird! I usually get the black forest ham & turkey, or teriyaki chicken. Delish.
i actually don't like american idol lol i like it before they paula, and simon left. usually my friends or bf can shake me from a bad mood. my family can always shake it, just as long as they don't bring up what put me in a bad mood lol. hope it gets better for you :)
ReplyDeleteAwe awesome blog! I always wished I liked to run, but I am such a wimp. My hubby is doing a marathon in march though. Have fun watching AI!
ReplyDelete6 miles!? Dang girl, on a Wednesday! Good for you!! Enjoy Idol :)
ReplyDeleteI had trouble focusing because I couldn't stop giggling at the Moody Mandy. My name is Mandy, and yes, sometimes, I can be quite Moody. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHHAHA before I put the title up, I thought to myself - someone is gonna cuss you out for that - LOL, thanks for being sweet Mandy - not ALL Mandy's are moody, obviously ;)
DeleteThere is only one way to get out of a bad mood - DANCE PARTY
ReplyDeleteI second that!
DeleteYou really like subway sandwiches don't you. I had the best sub last Friday it was from some place in Hamilton called submarines. They actually cook their turkey every morning (they have other options but my lab mates ate everything else!) If you're ever down in Hamilton- check it out.
ReplyDeletewhen i am stressed i head to the gym! it always makes me feel better or I have a nice cold glass of wine. as for subs, i used to LOVE them but a year ago a discovered i have a gluten intolerance so i can't eat them anymore boooo!
ReplyDeleteI think the absolute BEST way to get out of a crappy mood is def by working out. So, you did the best thing u could possibly do! Also, dont you love how we crave healthy food post working out (thats if we can agree that subway is healthy! haha) We dont have the egg salad option in the east coast yet (at least I havent seen it) sounds delicious! Hope u feel better :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the egg salad might be a Canadian thing?! :O It is SO good!
DeleteAnd yep, my diet is the best when I'm consistently working out - otherwise, it's a sugary free-for-all! ha!
Shaking off a bad mood is tough. Especially when you have that lingering throbbing bad mood that just sticks around all day. Glad you ran anyway! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteGetting out of a bad mood is hard! Usually a workout or fake it till it's real works!
ReplyDeleteI sleep through a bad mood. I usually wake up feeling better. Egg Salad? I don't know if our Subway has that sandwich but it sounds awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI took a "nap" at 7 that turned into a 2 hour sleep...lol and yeaaah, it helped!
DeleteI always find going for a nice quiet run or starting a good book is the best way to get rid of a bad mood. They are inevitable though, you just have to roll with them sometimes. I am with the commenter above, I don't think our Subway has egg salad either. I always go for turkey or italian. I am a meat gal!
ReplyDeleteI loooove the tuna sub! Any mention of Subway and I am instantly craving it...so thanks :) haha. I hope you aren't in a bad mood for much longer, that is no fun!
ReplyDeleteOk it might sound shallow, but shopping always helps my moods! :) I hope you feel better! Sounds like you had a good run. I love subway, I've never tried their egg subs. Sounds awesome!!
ReplyDeletehope you feel better today!
ReplyDeletei love watching foodnetwork - top chef seattle recently started...yea!
when i am in a bad mood, i vent to my mom!! helps to let out the negativity and she puts things in perspective for me.
at least you got in a run!! that is good!
I *NEED* to learn to talk things out more often..such a bad habit to keep things to myself and never talk about it!
DeleteYour cute, even in a moody mood:) Tuna subs are darn good.
ReplyDeleteCannot believe the stupid drama on Idol, but yes, secretly love it:)
I hate days like those!! I always just go home and relax and try to forget it, I then always make an effort to make sure the next day will be great!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletety for your lovely comment..
great blog, following now, kisses
Ahhh Subway is basically the number one thing I miss since developing my gluten allergy. I used to be obsessed with their turkey and honey mustard! So delicious, and healthy too!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I find for me that these bad moods just come out of nowhere, but I hope you cheer up soon! Maybe just chill and do nice relaxing things, don't force yourself to do anything if you don't want to =)

Wow congrats on being able to run that far on a treadmill. I did 5 miles yesterday and I just get SO bored. And, I love subway too. I get it for lunch at least once a week.
ReplyDeleteI still have not run/walked. I suck:(
ReplyDeleteI love the tuna sub yummy!
I have been somewhat like your Mandy-Polly-Nancy!
At least you are sweating it out,, all I do is sulk .blah
I didn't like the panel of judges last season on Idol. I'm glad Mariah is there, been hoping to see her join for a long time. She is at least qualified to judge other people's singing, being the master she is. As for the Minaj drama, it's a bit entertaining but I'm hoping it doesn't dominate the whole show.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm in a crappy mood, I just try to keep telling myself "It will pass".
But I might try the "breathing happiness & farting rainbows" technique! lol
To be honest with you, when I'm in a bad mood, nothing can really change it. The beast thing for me to do is be alone and only time makes it better. My poor husband knows this and gives me some space! lol
ReplyDeleteI wish our Subways had egg salad-sounds delicious! I always get the same thing at Subway, ham on wheat, American cheese, toasted, with spinach, lettuce, red onion and sometimes some jalepenos. I either get a little light mayo and a little spicy mustard or a little Chipotle southwest sauce. It's very important for me to say A LITTLE, because if not I feel like they dump it on the sandwich like they're trying to put out a fire. Hope your mood gets better ma'am!
yes, they REALLY do pile on the sauce. I'm so particular about the type of sauce so I definitely say a liiiiiiiiittle bit too!
DeleteI'm totally understanding of nothing being able to change the bad mood. Yep. It was just a BAD day yesterday. I mentioned above that I really need to talk it out, but I find that very hard to do! :(
best* lol..even though when I'm annoyed I probably am a beast.
ReplyDeleteWe all have those days :( The best way to fix it for me is a run! Even though sometimes that's the last thing you want to do haha.
ReplyDeleteSubway.....such a tease. I am all about the herb bread with turkey and swiss and tons of veggies. The meatball sub is also so good, but I rarely ever ordered a full one on my own.
ReplyDeleteI love subway!! We are getting one close to me so I'm super excited about it!! I love the tuna! When I'm in a bad mood it don't last long because my little girl comes up and rubs my cheek gives me a kiss and tells me she loves me!! Melts everything away!! But before her i normally would take it out at the gym and do a little retail therapy always helped!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteTotally off subject, but I'd love to visit and run in Canada someday - definitely a bucket list thing ;) .
Hope you feel better tomorrow!
SUBWAY...........GRRR!!!! too much of a good thing is so...very bad! my friends and I ate subway almost everyday my first semester, so now every time we pass by one our skin crawls... ha ha but my favorite was tuna LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I also like the BBQ Steak! HAVE A GREAT DAY!
ReplyDeleteMuch Love
Chari T (deep fried stilettos)xoxo
I had a funky mood a couple weeks ago that seemed to take FOREVER to shake, so I totally understand!! I LOVE tuna - not big on egg salad, but always good to try something again :)
ReplyDeleteworking out is a great start to fixing your mood -- just remember how great you are!! :)
ReplyDeleteWorking out is a great way to relieve any stress! And I love eating the subway club - turkey, ham, and roast beef. It's always the same. I have to try their egg salad now that you've mentioned how yummy it is! ;)

No worries! Everyone has bad mood days! They make the good days seem that much better ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm having a bad mood, I just let it out and then just try to make my day go by better by being positive, do something that makes me happy and then go on with the day. I hope your day went better though.
ReplyDeleteFor subway, I either pick Tuna or Italian B.M.T.
