Day 9

It's 12:30 and I'm just now getting to do my daily blog. I had to be to work early because I had meetings. Meetings, meetings, meetings!

Things I'm proud of from yesterday: It was a pretty good day. I felt good. I ate my planned meals. I didn't get to go to yoga though: traffic was horrid going north. I have to say that I have been doing a great job of questioning myself "Why are you wanting to eat?" It has stopped me several times. When I leave work after a day that has tired me out I think about stopping for something on the way home. I've had several tiring days lately but haven't stopped at a drive thru. This is key for me. Fast food is sooo laden with calories.
My Daily Give:My cubicle neighbor and good friend, Linda, moved to another cubicle where she has a lot of natural light so I bought her a cute little ivy plant to sit on her window sill. I wrote a really silly note card to go with it and she loved that part too.
Something I'm grateful for:I'm grateful for my yard. Part of it is currently under construction but we have lots of fruit trees and a little garden and plenty of space for our dog and chickens to run around (and the rabbits too when we let them out for controlled play time). Today I have apricots from our tree in my yogurt and I have cucumber and carrots spears from the garden to eat for my lunch. I feel so abundant to have such a yard.
My plan for today:I missed yoga yesterday so I feel like I should get some exercise in today. I definitely didn't sleep as hard last night as I did the night before after doing a run. So I think today (after all my meetings!!) I'll start Week 2 of C25K! A couple of friends have asked if I'm going to run a 5K after I'm done and I hadn't even considered it. I've been feeling so motivated just because I wanted to be able to run some that I hadn't thought about joining a race. It turns out there is one in Guajome park (on the border of Vista & Oceanside) August 22.
