Ahh…looks like we may have a day without rain..hard to believe, I know, but that’s what they’re saying about tomorrow. The clouds actually disappeared and the sun finally reappeared this afternoon.
I managed to get in quite a bit of exercise today…exercise bike and lower body strength training this morning, walking on the treadmill this afternoon, some silly dancing this evening…that silly dancing sure put a smile on my face. How could I have forgotten how much I enjoy music and dancing?
Prepared a pasta/veggie dish to take to work for the rest of the week..not the best thing I’ve ever made, but certainly not the worst either. I had some fresh veggies I wanted to use before they went bad (broccoli and mushrooms), so I added them to veggie pasta with some sauce, onion, garlic and mozzarella cheese. I probably would like it more if I hadn’t put the broccoli in it. I don’t really know why I continue to buy broccoli when I don’t particularly like it…because it’s supposed to be so good for you? Guess I need to find another veggie that is just as good for me but that I like a lot more…
I got some fun stuff in my mailbox the past couple of days
A sizeable sample of Tide stain release, a Salonpas pain patch, a coupon for a free package of Uncle Ben’s rice, and a Physician’s Formula 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner and Serum. Not a bad couple of days, huh? I also got in on a giveaway on facebook today for a free Pilates dvd and found out I was the winner of a giveaway on The Prudent Patron. I won the Charmies online giveaway…very cute jewelry charms…looking forward to doing some shopping at Charmies!!
I’m excited to report that I’m finally gaining some control over my eating. I thought about preparing pizza today, but quickly opted for the pasta dish instead. I was able to eat just one serving of that whereas I might have eaten a couple of servings of the pizza. I think that’s a certain amount of progress, to know that I would be tempted to eat more than I should and avoid the situation.
So…a nice day of sunshine, saving money, losing weight, and gaining fitness…a pretty good Tuesday!
