What a beautiful morning...

I'm sitting at my desk enjoying a nice strong Starbucks coffee... The weather is gorgeous and I just had an amazing workout before arriving at work!

To back up a bit...yesterday wasn't ideal. You all heard about my pizza breakfast...lol...and my committment to eat well and work out yesterday to make up for it. Well, I sort of succeeded at part of that. I ate fairly well, if you can excuse the small piece of cake I had at work for an anniversary. My diet yesterday was:

2 slices of pizza (yikes!)
Small spinach salad (spinach, mushrooms, orange slices, red onion, bit of vinagrette)
A small pack of All Bran Bites.
Small piece of lemon cake (unexpected and unplanned for...I caved)
2 Black Bean quesadillas (small ww wrap, blackbeans cooked with peppers, salsa, garlic, onion, a bit of cheese, and a dollop of light sour cream).
A couple slices of cheese as a late night snack.

Certainly not an ideal day, but that's just life sometimes...

As for working out yesterday...ummm...didn't happen. I planned to and even made it to the gym parking lot before I realized I didn't have any socks packed! I cannot work out in barefeet...that's just gross and I'd get blisters...lol. I had a small window to work out before picking up my son from daycare, making dinner, and meeting a friend at 7:30 for a girlie date. I suppose I could have rushed home for socks and come back to the gym...but it just didn't happen.

HOWEVER...to make ammends for that I woke up a bit earlier than normal this morning and hit the gym. I did my typical 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then gave myself another 20 minutes of hitting the weights (a luxery I don't often get in my rushed mornings)...then lots of stretching...and now I'm at work.

I feel really great!

I will confess I had a few moments throughout my day yesterday when I felt like I was losing my motivation. I actually had an image in my mind of slipping away at that point and just going back to how I used to live. Isn't that crazy? I thought about it, actually considered it...seriously. It just goes to show how easily the brain can give up if you don't stay focused. Luckily I didn't let it get the better of me and today I feel as strong as ever!

Here's to a great week! I will weigh in again this Saturday and keep you posted! Also...I WILL post pics, I keep putting it off as I hate taking pictures of myself when I look this way...but I will do it.

Cheers,
Jamie
