Mindy - Thursday 1/what's the date today???

So I haven't worked the last 2 days so I don't know the date. How pathetic is that?

Anyway...the work out today was awesome. My arms are dead. I'm afraid I won't be able to wash my hair. Maybe I will go to work stinky. Just kidding. Gross.

Cardio seems to be getting a little easier. Time doesn't seem to c-r-a-w-l when I'm on the treadmill anymore. Maybe it's cuz I can talk to Leslie instead of focus on the ticking seconds?

I've decided to go to Dallas. I'm excited to go. It will be fun.

Meals:
Meal 1: Whole wheat English Muffin/honey, cottage cheese/pineapple
Meal 2: Yogurt, string cheese
Meal 3: Baked chicken, mashed potatoes
Meal 4: Protein bar
Meal 5: Snapper fillet, carrots, brown rice
Meal 6: I don't know...

I'm feeling really good. I'm surprised with myself that I've stuck to the diet and not cheated once. I know Saturday is coming and it makes it easy to eat clean. I'm feeling guilty sometimes that I am putting myself first and really doing this diet/exercise thing. But this is what I have to do for ME right now. If I'm happy with me, then I can take care of everyone else and do it better. It's OK to be selfish for a very small portion of my day.

I'm grateful for the weather that is so nice. I'm grateful to be outside with my kids and see them playing. I'm grateful for a husband who doesn't make me feel guilty about what I'm doing now and seems genuinely excited for me to continue on.
