I had a great birthday yesterday. My co-workers started my day with doughnuts and chocolate milk. YUM! Then they all gave me presents. Very thoughtful ones. Ones that showed they were listening to me in everyday conversation. They got me lunch. I had this HUGE burrito with cheese and chicken. I only ate half... but I'll edit yesterday's post with my food. (Or what I remember... still need to literally WRITE this stuff down so I don't forget.) Then I got home and JD & Tatum gave me a card. They gave me some really good insoles for my shoes. I've been having issues with plantar fasciatis, so this is a great present!!!! (Plus, we are still, as you know, BROKE! And presents just aren't a priority these days.) I had tons of HBD messages on Facebook. Lots of phone calls and texts. I do feel loved!!! :-)
I found out that my ex-brother in law died yesterday. He wasn't much older than I am. Less than 10 years older. He had a heart attack. He was super morbidly obese and ignored his health. He had major high blood pressure and didn't always take his meds. There were other problems too..... He & my sister have been divorced for years, but it's still sad and even shocking. I lived with them for a while when I was 19 & 20. It's just sad. It also has me motivated!!
DH took off work last night. So that meant I had options for my morning workout. Gym? Outside wogging? Sleeping in since he could get Tatum ready this morning??? Well, I sucked it ALL up. I sucked up the opportunity to sleep in. I sucked up my fear of the dark! I went wogging this morning. YAY!
Plan for today:
M1: Smart Ones breakfast quesadilla & banana
M2: Kashi bar
M2: Kashi bar
M3: Leftovers from yesterday's burrito
M4: Larabar
M5: TWO slices of pizza (Tatum is having a friend spend the night and we are getting those take & bake pizzas from Wal-Mart)
Exercise: 2.01 mile wog (33:57 min)
I did the wog with my new insoles. They felt pretty good! I'll just switch them over to my work shoes for today and see how they work!
Now to go edit yesterday. It's not pretty! LOL! Somebody said birthday calories don't count and I sure hope they're right. Actually, it doesn't really matter. I can't change what I did. I'm actually still feeling good about things this week. It has been far from perfect and that makes it even better. TO know that I can be accepting of myself no matter what feels good!!!
