Oatmeal for breakfast, 1/2 stuff bell pepper for lunch, water, water, water, salad for dinner. That's good right?
But today, I really (no, I mean really) did not want to go for a walk. Really!
But I did. I went. It was miserable, but I went. No shortcuts, did the whole darned route. Sides of calves ached nearly the entire way. But I did it.
So for my reward:
I think I deserved it. It's sad that I need to reward myself for these small steps, but I don't live with my mother any more and the kids don't realize that these things that I'm doing mean way more to me than it does to them, so I can't really look for a pat on the back coming from them any time soon.
It was good, sweet, cold. We've actually had it for 5 years.
I also had a glass in honor of a friend who has just received some good news. Love you dahling (LE)!
That's funny what you said about how we have to reward ourselves now. I think that's one of the hardest parts about being a "grown-up," and especially a mom. I've had a rough week and people keep asking me if I'm "taking care of myself." I guess I am, but what I'd really like is for someone else to take care of ME for a while! Of course, wine works just as well...;)
