Skinnygirl223's Journal, 22 March 2012

I won't lie - I am not having a good day. I'm not having a good week. Not major life altering problems just little everyday annoyances that keep piling one on top of the other. My husband is getting on my nerves by simply working at his job to much and not doing enough of the things that I need for him to do. My son came in late last night. I have ants in my kitchen. I got a phone call while trying to brush my teeth this morning. My corporate office at work is aggravating me by asking for unnecessary paperwork. Just normal life stuff.

Most of the time I try to count my blessings - and they are many. I have a hard working husband. I have a kitchen/food that can attract ants. I have a healthy, happy son that can get so caught up in playing lacrosse that he forgets what time to be home, but today that just isn't working.

Everyday at lunch, I sweat it out for 45 minutes. I lift weights or put in 6 miles on the elpitical or ride a bike and get on the stairclimber. I do sit-ups on an incline or a workout video. Then I go back to work, put on my dress clothes and eat a salad at my desk. In between picking up my kids and dinner, if I have time, I will do it all over again a second time. Over and over and over again.

Today all I was thinking about was that I could be eating fries and sitting in the sun. I could be running errands or buying new shoes. But I don't - I work on me. I take the 1 hour of my day that someone else has not already claimed and do everyday what a LOT of days I don't really feel like doing. I go to the gym and I pass up the fries.

It occurred to me today, during the mist of my pity party that "To have what no one else has, you have to be willing to do what no one else does." In my case, I want a smaller body, a lower # on the scale, a two-piece bikini, more energy and to live to see great, great grandchildren. So everyday - I go back to that gym and I eat that salad. Because like everyone else on here - I want something more and I'm willing to work for it.
