Good morning!!!!!


Good morning everyone. I am in a very good mood today! For one, I had a great workout at the gym last night. I lifted weights (chest & triceps). I saw a guy doing an unusual chest exercise & I went over & asked him about it. Turns out he is a personal trainer (also retired form the army) - not only did he show me the exercise, but he was very encouraging and told me he's really noticed the changes in my body over the past couple of years. That made me feel good! And the exercise he showed me really added an extra punch to my workout.

For two, this morning I got up to run and my walkman was working! (It wouldn't work when I walked yesterday morning). Either 9 degrees is too cold for it to work, or its slowly dying but it took pity on me this morning and worked anyway. :-) It was a balmy 22 this morning, so both me & the walkman were working better, although I was a little tired from the gym still.

And for three, I ate really well yesterday, which makes me feel much better physically and emotionally. Here's the menu from yesterday:

B: "sexed up" oatmeal, a small cup of diet pepsi, and a glass of cranwater.
S: 1 lowfat string cheese and a bag of raw veggies: carrots, celery, and baby bell peppers.
L : More raw veggies & a can of tuna "marinated" with 2 T of a really great homemade vinegarette, a side of mashed potatoes (I needed some carbs to balance the meal & that's what looked good in the cafeteria!) and a diet pepsi.
S: 1 lowfat string cheese, 1.5 oranges, and a cup of my 0 pt veggie soup.
D: Baked pork chop (YUM!), half a small sweet potato, and braised cabbage.

Hope you all have a great day!
