I Feel Good

I don’t know whether it’s the weather, the food, hormones, my fab new haircut & highlights I got last weekend – I don’t know what, but I feel good! Sometimes a little too good, like, “Hello! Could I be manic?” But mostly just cool with things and excited about stuff. So, in no particular order.

Food: Still sticking to the fat flush plan. Yesterday, I ate the same thing as Monday, except I had stir fry for dinner. It was a little plain with no soy sauce, but not too bad. The strange thing about this diet is the effect of flax oil – it really does keep me feeling “not hungry” for hours, even though I haven’t eaten a lot of food. It’s so odd to eat a small to normal sized portion of food and be satisfied.

Exercise: Had a great 2 mile run yesterday morning. The weather was cool & refreshing! I thought about getting up this morning to run again, but opted for a little extra sleep and getting a couple of things done around the house. I took a nice 30 minute walk at work this morning, and I will do a machine this evening while the boy does tae kwon do. So, not getting frantic about it, but doing a little here and there.

Hubby’s work: Still sucks. My mom came over & helped on Monday, taking my son to tae kwon do (I have a great Mom)! I asked hubby if he could come home on Thursday night this week, even though it’s not exactly the middle of the week. Monday and Thursday are my toughest days, so his agreeing to that really helped me out a bunch. Yesterday I planned a very easy dinner, so I got it on the table quick. Tonight all that’s going on is tae kwon do, so I’ll make a quick meal & then we’ll head out. I lift weights on Mondays and Thursdays, and both of us having an activity makes it hectic! And the end is in sight for this job. I’m not normally anxious for a well-paying job to end, but this is getting old.

Shopping: Okay, I don’t like to shop. But I do like to show up for my job looking sort of like I’m a professional person. Last weekend since I had been feeling down I made an appointment for an impromptu haircut. I also asked her to do highlights (new for me). I adore the cut she gave me – it looks like the blond chic on “Andromeda” if you’ve ever seen that. Parted in the middle, kinda sweeping down on one side, and sort “spiky” in the back, but a longer version of that short look. It is maybe 1-2 inches above my shoulders. I have some money to spend on clothes for myself (a rarity) as well as the family. Hubby took his money and he can use it how he sees fit. I bought the boy a bunch of new clothes, and I wanted some new clothes as well. On the way to picking the boy up yesterday, I stopped by Kohl’s. I got 3 pairs of shoes (I am not a shoeholic – I really needed some decent looking, “a little dressy but not too much” shoes for work.) Two pair are sorta like loafers, but with a little heel & a little dressier. One black, one brown. I also got an even dressier pair of black mules. They can easily be worn with slacks also, but they could also go with a skirt. So, I’ve started my quest for some decent work clothes!

Anyway, that’s about it. I hope this weather holds through the weekend because I really want to do a nice long run and a good bike ride!
