Here we go! Day 2

Well good morning! Good morning Self! Today is going to be a great day. The sun is shining!

So I was a little bit naughty last night and indulged after dinner. I've got this, right? And I ate great all day, right? A little ice cream won't kill me.

YOU DESERVE IT. Go ahead. Eat it. Then go to bed with a stomach ache and try to get some rest. hahahahahaha Oh you.

But you know what? It's okay. I'm not going to make a 100% change to my habits. I'll never make it. But I did focus on fruits and veggies more yesterday. We had steak for dinner and I ate half of what I normally would. I did eat the garlic bread, because who can say no to garlic bread?! I still want to enjoy my life. And again - this is not about weight loss. It's about FEELING MY BEST. I know that comes with filling my body with healthier choices.

I'm here at my desk, with my tea and a plan for the day. I'm here alone so some light yoga is about to go down again. Gotta get some movement back. Just praying a client doesn't walk in.

Guess what?? Mandy. This is all a part of the life you are living. You have SUCH a good life. It's time to take care of yourself. You've got this, girl.

The pic above is from a Color Run event I did with my girls in September (fundraiser for the PTO). At that point I had been on Weight Watchers for about a month and had dropped about 10 lbs. I felt SO good. I even ran part of that 5k with my kids. If you can forget about the whining from the girls 3/4 of the way through, we had a blast. The week before this, I rented a bike all on my own and rode it all the way around Mackinac Island after a conference (which was also so good for my soul). I NEVER thought I would be able to do these things. Figured those days were gone. And yeah, we were some of the last people to cross the finish line at that color run, but we did it, and we did it together. They got to see their mom participate in a healthy activity and actually have fun.

I've been taking it easy this week after the trip to the ER. I'm not super active during the day - pretty much just sit at my desk - but that is just sucking all of my energy so I've been going home and crawling into bed. I pray that spring is right around the corner so we can get outside.
