I felt great this morning! The fresh start of a new month coupled with a little extra sleep had me ready for the world. The first thing on my mind was GET TO THE GYM. Just ditching exercise for a few days had made me so unhappy!
Since big daughter was feeling better (still kept her home for one more day), I was able to slip out for a quick stint at the gym. I jumped right on the elliptical and cranked it out for 45 minutes. It felt great! My whole mood changed and I felt ready to be back on track! On a side note, my dizziness has gotten a lot better, so I’m going to get back to my regular exercise routines (including running – I can’t wait! <------still can’t believe I say that!) and see what happens. I can always scale back if it acts up again.
I wasn’t very hungry this morning. It makes me wonder if it’s my body’s way of getting me back to a normal eating pattern. Funny, if we listen, I guess the body does it’s job!
I grabbed a Chobani yogurt before I left and ate it in the car after my workout…before driving, Mom …
I had planned on eating something else a little later in the morning, but it got close to lunch time , so I just went right to it. I went with a simple turkey wrap with dijon mustard and a good handful of broccoli slaw for a little different twist. POPchips and apple on the side made this a super crunchy lunch…
The afternoon was a bit of a challenge. Bowls of candy seemed to beckon to me (I am packing them up now!), but I planned a big snack to combat the evil sugar soldiers…
It kept me busy for a while, so I was able to pretend I didn’t see forget about the candy:)
Dinner was a precursor to Thanksgiving. Roasted turkey breast, mushroom gravy, roasted potatoes and green beans…
So delicious!
Okay, it’s a complete MIRACLE that I was even able to post this as I have been extremely distracted by little daughter who has basically been doing a three act play in front of me, jumping around like a crazy person, grilling me with a hundred and fifty-two questions about where stuff is and pretty much torturing our dog by dressing him up in random things found in my closet. Time to go!!!
Have a great day, everyone! Oh, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your supportive comments on yesterday’s post! We can ALL do this together!
Off to get the duct tape…kidding…kidding :)

And THAT is what I miss when I don't exercise. As much as I dislike the act of running, it makes me feel good after. I think it's also a self-competition thing for me.
PS....YAY! You got back on track. Probably wasn't easy, but you did it. :)
Do you eat all that in one day???
Marcelle - yep, and sometimes more ;)
I can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner! I could eat that meal each night, but other family members say once a year is enough. lol
Good job on getting back on track! :)
Marissa I thought of you this morning when I got up and decided that today would be a good day. Had a run in with the Halloween candy last night (I don't want to talk about it... LOL) but I remembered that you were able to jump right back on the horse and so will I!

Your "Thanksgiving" dinner looks yummy and it's totally making me want some mushrooms! I'm still doing terribly at hauling myself to the gym, even though i *know* that when I go it makes me feel so so so great. Congrats on a great, joyful day - they're always so wonderful!
