One Can Only Hope

****

On a scale of shitty to fan-fucking-tabulous, I think
today would rank as an a'ight (pronounced with the long a
sound and ight. This would be slang for "alright").
Actually, if I may drop the sarcasm for one moment, I
might dare say today was a good day. Who would of thought
I could have one of those?!


The day started out crap, like most of my days do. I
stayed up until after 3am last night talking with Jeremy
(who apparently needs little to no sleep ever). I had
nothing better to do and I have the hardest time falling
asleep, so this entertained me. Unfortunately, I have no
problem sleeping during the day, which is when I need to
get up. So, Annie woke me up 30 minutes before she had to
be to school. I threw on some sweats and grabbed the
girls. Annie was still 5 minutes late, but I made an
effort.

After I dropped the girls off and was driving to the gym.
I made an agreement with myself. I thought back to how
good I used to feel when I ate little, worked out a lot
and spent all my free energy on being thin. Not that I
want all of the obsession back, but a little of it would
be nice. So, I've promised myself I'll BE NICE TO MYSELF
from now on. There's nothing wrong with eating right,
exercising and being in shape. Even though it requires
great amounts of work, it feels so good and is so worth
it. I'm going to get back into that. I even bought myself
little reward stars to put on the calendar when I have a
good day (no, I'm not 7, but if treating myself like I am
helps, then I'm all for it). I'm rewarding my inner child!

I did a respectable treadmill walk (burning 500 calories)
before Gen and I met up at Starbucks. We did our usual
thing, then had lunch at a Mongolian restaurant I hadn't
been to before. It wasn't bad. I think I like the one in
the mall better, but that might just be because I'm a
hopeless creature of habit.

Gen and I parted ways after lunch. I needed desperately to
come home and undo the carnage the girls released upon the
house this weekend and since I work everyday the rest of
this week. Today was the day. I decided to stop by Dollar
Tree to pick up a new scrub brush, but somehow got
sidetracked. I may be a professional shopper, but even I
cave under the weight of a good deal. I ended up buying
Annie 10 little training bras for $10. They were Bestform
and Hanes, too. Not some irregular no-name brand only
found at Dollar Tree. She was so excited when she got home
and saw them!

I'm jumping around now. Let me get on track. After
cleaning, I picked up the girls and went back to the gym.
This time to the family fitness center. I did the other
half of my workout. I think I'm going to go back to the
1000 calorie burn. I saw results faster that way. It takes
more time and dedication, but I think I've got it!

This may come as a surprise, but I'm actually tired! I
think I'll go take a quick shower then hop in bed. Maybe
because I'm feeling so pleased with myself, I'll fall
right to sleep. One can only hope. Ciao.
