Yesterday: bad. Drank 3 glasses of water, ate little (in meetings all day) and did not work out. UGH!
Today: Much better start! Worked out--strength..upper and lower body. It had been 1 week since I went in and I can tell the difference...muscles a little more tired (maybe in my head, who knows). Feel great after workout. Plan to drink 4 glasses of water and eat a good breakfast and lunch and dinner. Try to get some fruits in there (orange). I am taking my vitamin too (H gave it to me last last night...I think it may have an affect on my sleep). Slept well last night...which was good. Not to get too personal here, but I'm trying a new birth control (the ring) and I think it may have a little affect on sleep (little better) and my moods (little skiddish) and stomach. But, I feel better now.
I've also been trying something else...to support feeling good the last few weeks, I've been wanting to take time with my dress (nothing fancy), hair, etc. It makes me feel good--I'm not a girly girl, but it helps! Not to get anyone's attention, but my own.
I was supposed to run (I'm NOT a runner) in a relay in May, and I started working out in earnest with that. Now that I think about it, with the trip and all, I don't think I can do it. I wanted to push myself and do it for me, like a goal thing, but I like the pace I'm at in getting shape and don't feel bad letting it go this time. I might make a goal for myself in 2006, to run a race, or something and work towards that. It feels good to make that decision.
