New week, new opportunity to make myself proud! I had a pretty good weekend, did my yoga class on Saturday morning (which has recently changed from a very relaxing savananda yoga style to more of a yoga-pilates class due to a new instructor taking over), then spent the day cleaning house and babysitting our neice and nephew at night. Didn't have time to be bored and snack, although we did have pasta for dinner. Sunday morning we took a short hike/photography trip to test out the hubby's new film camera, then we went to an Argentine barbeque at a friend's house, ate some meat but stayed away from the bread, drank a little but not too much, and was home by 9:30 to get a good night's sleep! This morning I had my usual breakfast of 7-grain toast with crunchy peanut butter and coffee with almond milk, and now I've just had a mid-morning snack of a banana and glass of water. My lunch today is Amy's butternut squash soup, and afternoon snack will be some strawberries and grapes. When I grocery shop tonight, I will buy salmon, chicken breasts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and NO packaged snacks or desserts! I have 3 months until my entire family comes to California to celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary and I am determined to look and feel better than I ever have. I want to freely enjoy every moment of their visit, every day on the beach, every night out, and feel more confident and beautiful at our celebration! I am thinking of buying my dress for the anniversary dinner, and purchasing a size smaller than I am now as a little added motivation to keep me on track. I've done this before with a swimsuit, and I hung it on the back of my bedroom door as a daily reminder to work hard on acheiving my goal. I am also debating getting a gym membership again, because I just don't seem to have the motivation to work out at home often enough. When I'm at home, there are always a million other things I think I should be doing, and working out always gets thrown by the wayside. When I have a gym membership, the hardest part is getting there but once I'm in the gym, I'm obviously going to get in a good workout! Although I hate parting with my hard-earned cash, that in itself drives me to get my money's worth and go at least a few times a week. Here's to 3 months of hard work that WILL PAY OFF!!!
