Morning!
It's supposed to be a beautiful sunny day here, and although I do not trust the weather reports, I have hopes.
Lunches are made, and mine is yummy: pumpkin for mid-morning breakfast/snack; a cucumber chopped with blue cheese dressing; zuchini with cheese, 2 devilled eggs. Mid-afternoon snack: blueberries! When I get home, I've got spaghetti squash with butter, followed by a workout, then eggs for dinner. Yummy day!
Both my dh and my dd announced yesterday that my legs and butt look awesome - very "skinny". I was, of course, jazzed, and floated thru the day. I am going to try a new (old, but skinnier) pair of jeans today to see if they fit. Who knows? If not, no biggie.
I was thinking about stuff yesterday and I decided that ENTHUSIASM is a key ingredient in a healthy lifestyle. We're a cynical people, and often we take for granted or shrug off the great, yet small things in life. Then we wonder why we don't have a more positive attitude. Well, it's enthusiasm. We need to live with gusto. Got a great lunch? Celebrate it. Having fun at work? Put a little jump in your step. Planning something special? Take joy in the planning as well as the event. Found a great new recipe? Chortle and make it more than once.
Keep a list handy of things you love to do when you have 5 minutes, 1/2 hour, 2 hours. Consult it when you aren't busy. DO something from the list! Bounce over to your nearest loved one, give him/her a smacking big kiss, and announce "You are GREAT!". Then bounce away. (it's contageous!)
Now, go live with enthusiasm today.

It doesn't help any that I've been discouraged about gaining a pound and not being able to get the scales to move downward in forever. I know if I eat those things, the scales will go up. I don't need any more depression so the cupcakes have been put out of sight for the time being. I'm about to do a major menu makeover. I'm still crunching numbers and trying to figure out how to get the percentages that I want while eating what I prefer. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling again. Have a legal day everyone cause junk only tastes good for a minute and then it goes straight to your
