Thursday Afternoon

I bounced out of bed this morning at 5 am. Excited and ready to face the day. Well, at least ready to make Music Man some breakfast. Which I did do. I made him egg whites with low cal cheese, turkey bacon and two whole wheat waffles. He actually did enjoy them.

After he left for work I got dressed and started my work out. Tuesday when I last did my video I felt like it was too easy, so this morning I stepped up my enthusiasm and moved from the 2 lb weights to the 3 lbs. Now I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but I double up the weights when I'm using them. So, I went from 4 lbs to 6 lbs. My legs were jelly when I was done. I also was finally able to do all 4 of the modified push ups she has you do. It starts with a big breath, you bend at the waist and put your hands on the floor. Step your feet back into the plank position. Slowly lower yourself down, I forget what she calls it. Once you're all the way down, push your shoulder up into the up dog position. Hold for a minute. Tuck your feet under and push up into down dog. Hold it. Step your feet back up to the hands, slowly roll up, take a big breath. Doesn't sound like much, but trying doing it four times. When you haven't been exercising. It's a tough series of moves. But I felt so much better for doing it.

After that I got my shower and finished bottle 1 of the day. Miss Goofy got up and I made her and I some egg whites with cheese and turkey bacon. There is a song by Travis Tritt called Great Day to be Alive. It was running through my head this morning. Well, the chorus was.

It goes: And it's a great day to be alive, I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes, There's some hard times in the neighborhood, But why can't every day be just this good.

That's how I felt this morning. Maybe it's the wind, which is gusting here, I've always been energized by the wind. In any event, I went grocery shopping and have just had a really good day with Miss Goofy. We bought really healthy food, and laughed a lot. Driving home was a struggle with the wind, but God was watching over us.

Time to fess up though. We did stop at Carl's Jr for lunch. I probably shouldn't have done that. Seriously if I'd known that a double bacon western was 22 points, we would have dealt with the crowd in Arby's. Well, I feel better now. I'll walk with Music Man tonight and maybe do a cardio workout in a few minutes. Gotta burn it off somehow, besides I can't seem to sit still today. It must be the wind.

Music Man will probably like it. He enjoys it when I'm wound up like this. Wish him luck.
