happy wednesday

Some days are just better than others. And what im beginning to learn is that when i get my ass out of bed to hop on the treadmill, the day seems to start out so much better. I did only get in 26 minutes, but i also got a load of clothes done and i made breakfast and got our lunches together too....oh and took out the trash :)

Monday's workout was brutal. I must have gone heavier than i am used to because it is still hard for me to walk. Getting up and down out of my chair at work is a chore...and because i have to pee so much because of the water, its beginning to bug me.

I went to my sister's last night to see my nephew. I had a bag of frozen shrimp left in her freezer so i made that and a salad...they had pasta. I did have a meatball though ;)

When i got home from there, Adam wasn't home yet from taking Angelica to karate and to dinner (it was her 12th birthday yesterday...we celebrated on friday night since her b-day fell during the week). I decided to take down the Halloween decorations....ugh....it feels like i just put them up, and then i sat....and at around 9:30 i decided to get ready for bed....took a hot bath to soak my aching legs and that made me sooo sleepy! I think i was out cold by 10:15 or so....so i got a good nights sleep....hence me able to get out of bed...its the only way i can do it.

What i am discovering about myself is that i have this mentality that because i dont have a "show date" that i can just lay back and eat things that i shouldn't (i.e....the pumpkin cookies that my mom made on halloween or the harvest blend m&ms)...that is not me. I like being strict with my eating and knowing that what i am eating is good for me and is going to make me feel better and look better. so why do i feel as though i am "allowed" to eat those bad things? especially when i have a trip that i will be wearing a two piece bathing suit at in 24 days??? Yes, 24 days....and it will be here so quickly!

So i have decided to pull out my diet from last year around this time and do my best to continue to eat clean and get as much treadmill time as i can.

Oh and did i mention that i have my 20 year reunion on November 20th? yeah....dont want to go...i went to my 5 year and that was torture...

the thing is, the people that i want to talk to i do...and there is a reason that i dont talk to the other people i went to school with...and with facebook...i know what is going on in their lives...i dont need to see them...but my one good friend was president of her class and she is organizing the stupid thing so i told her i would go. UGH!

So i need to be good and not a bloated cow for the next few weeks....i think i can handle that ;)

I wanted to also thank Amyella for introducing me to a blog....dooce  She is a great, funny writer...,and she takes pictures daily of her kids and especially of her two dogs....nothing better than a dog in a halloween costume....check it out :)
