Food, Diet and Fitness Diary

Today, I feel... It's the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! 1:30 p.m. early dismissal!!! SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!

More later.... gotta run.

Mwah!

Today, I feel... GULP! Had full, full, full fantastic weekend. Now it is back to the rhythm and rhyme that is my little slice of crazy life.

Hope you all had a safe and relaxed holiday weekend.

Time to get back at it!

Today I am thankful...
...for 1/2 days of school.... tomorrow is the last day of school!!!!
...the fact that our family has so much fun together.
...that I"m not panicking over the fact that is is going to be 95 today and our air conditioner is not working. GULP!
...new toothbrushes.....love that clean feeling!
...my Baylor Bears!!
...that football talk is filtering back into sports talk more prevalently!!
...the TEXAS RANGERS! woot woot!

Make it a good one. Time to dig out of all that went undone this weekend.

Today, I feel... Capable. Like I can bear my load. That's a good thing. If the day goes smoothly it should be incredibly productive....LOTS to get done. But I'm creating an environment of calm and peace for myself so I can just hop, hop, hop through my to-dos. Just keep focused and be in the moment. One check mark at a time.

Today I am thankful...
...for good, chewy bread and children that recognize it. Ha! My little foodies.
...for a decent night's sleep.
...for people that don't over-react.
...for Emily. For joining me in my silliness.... dance class, here we come!
...talk of the NFL creeping back on to sports radio! Won't be too, too long now. Time to start reading up for fantasy!!
...my successful hubby. BIG day for him today....presenting to the CEO of his parent company. GULP. He's nervous and he is NEVER nervous. BUT, I know he'll be amazing!

Make it a great day, ALL!

WAHOO!!! FINALLY have all my mac products upgrade and migrated to iCloud. Phew! BIG to-do off my plate! YEA!

Today, I feel... ya know.... I'm not sure yet. I woke happy and feeling good.... but am feeling a bit blue just a few hours later. Not sure why. Yes, hubs is gone so that doesn't help....and the forecast is friggin' HOT and HUMID which leaves me a bit bitter....but REALLY there is nothing too ho-hum. Gotta shake this blue feeling.

On a sunny note, Delaney was fabulous night! I'll post a pic of my baby in a few minutes. My last baby to graduate kindergarten! OH MY! I was a wee weepy last night....but oh so proud!

Lots of work this moring... then making chicken salad for dinner, perhaps a little shopping---perhaps some retail therapy will perk me up. I need some zapatos!

Today I am thankful...
...for the breeze.
...for croissants. Yes, I know. But I indulged. I'll hit the gym in a bit to pay for my crime.
...for heavy drapes to lock out the heat.
...for happy, healthy, joyful children.
...for opportunities.

Make it a good one.

Hummmm....tired to upload pics and I do not have an upload option anymore. Do you? I see all my pics, but there seems to be no way to add more. Am I missing something?????

Argh....4:10 p.m. and just haven't been able to shake this sad, discouraged feeling. I don't know why I can't just happy. Size, be damned. Just when I'm feeling good I catch a glimpse of a mirror, or try something on in a fitting room, and see every gimple. UGH. Depressing. I tell my self that I've had a good week.... Worked out consistently and I'm incorporating lots of veggies and water.... BUT, I just know it needs to be more. I'm just not sure what I'm willing to give. I know if I would cut out my weeknight wine/cocktails I would save about 1000 calories a week....but I am just not sure I'm willing to do that consistently. Which tells me I don't REALLY want to see change. I need to give my self a serious scolding and then make a decision. I'll be good either way....but I can't play myself again myself anymore. I need to resolve where I am at and what I'm will do it. What I am not willing to do and how my goals will be affected by those choices....and then be good with them. I'm rambling.... sorry.

Today, I feel... like I'm in a pressure cooker. I'm good. Happy. Just SLAMMED.

Hope you all are well. MAKE IT a great day!

Today I am thankful...
...for great teachers.
...for a supportive hubby.
...for Delaney! Can't believe tonight is Kindergarten Graduation!! WOW!
...tears of joy and pride.
...great reads. 50 Shades was really good. I'm now apart of the hype. Eager for book two.
...Brave children.

Today, I feel... Feeling quite happy. No real reason...just sort of giggly. I have loads to do (nothing changes) and I am a bit overwhelmed by it. But for some reason today the overwhelming feeling is not taking it's typical toll on me. Perhaps it is the final countdown to summer, perhaps it is my renewed dedication to eating balanced and working out, perhaps it is my glee at the idea of signing up for a dance class.... who knows. I just know I'll take it!

I've never been a big, techinical dancer. Certainly LOOK more like an athlete than a dancer.....but I love it and I'm looking for something to be MINE. Not my kids, not my hubby's....MINE. I think it might make me feel pretty and happy..... and likely silly too.... but the idea makes me smile. So, I think I may give it a go. I talked with the studio director and she suggested the summer session of adult-beginning-jazz. She said it is fun and a good workout. It runs end of June-first week of August. I think I just might do it. I know I'll feel like a big dork at first.... but who cares. I like dorks!

Today I am so very thankful...
...for the marvelous weekend I had with my family.
...for my renewed, stepped-up communication with Michelle.
...for my precious Jenn.
...for my parents and my sisters.
...for all my nieces and nephews.
...for clean, fresh water and bright, juicy lemons
...for the itch to be daring

Have a magnificent day! We're embracing Meatless Mondays in our house this summer. Kind of exciting!

What new are you doing in life? Keep it fresh, folks! Keep it fresh and exciting!!

Mwah!
