Day 3 (AM)

I fell asleep on the couch last night so I didn't write why I was proud of myself yesterday. Yesterday of all days our boss decides to buy us pizza. I knew that on Day 2 it would be hard to pass up so I went to the cafeteria to get something that would be tasty and filling so that when the pizza came along it wouldn't be tempting. That worked! I had a horrible headache all day yesterday (probably due to not having any sugar and wheat--this is very common in the first couple of days) and that often destroys my resolve but I stuck to it. I considered stopping for something at a drive-thru (my nemesis!) on the way home but avoided that too.
As I mentioned yesterday morning I forgot to bring gym clothes to work but considering the headache I had I wouldn't have used them anyway!
My daily give: I spent a good hour with one of the junior people at work sharing some experiences with her to help her work on a project she had. I also have been very negative at work about doing a Performance Review (I think they are waste of time because it has never in my experience correlated to what kind of raise I get or anything) but I held my tongue during a conversation with my new manager and a colleague about them. I knew I had given my manager enough grief about it and wanted to give her a break.

So now, for today:
Today I am grateful for Yoga Vista--the place where I go to do yoga. I love the people, the location, and the teachers. It's given me more of a sense of community in Vista since I really don't know many people who live here even though I've lived here 7 years. Most of my friends and acquaintances lived elsewhere until I started going to yoga 3 years ago. I feel good and strong after yoga class.

My action plan for today: I'm going to yoga class at 10:30. I'm going to give myself some time in the garden today (or maybe that should be "give the garden some of my time"), I'm going to do Day 1 of the C25K at the gym, and I'm going to do some cooking so I have some healthy food ready to eat that don't have wheat and sugar.

I'll save this for now and read my future testimonial...and then it's time to get moving!
