Small Slice

I'm in day 9 of the 10 day exercise challenge I'm doing.  I'm surprised and pleased to report that while the first four days or so were very challenging and left me worn out, my workout today flew by, and I found that I actually enjoyed the jogging intervals.

Did you hear that?  I enjoyed JOGGING.

I mean, okay, it is for two minutes at a stretch, so come on, right?  But when I finished the end-of-DVD stretches today, I felt fantastic.  And it dawned on me that I've felt fantastic every day this last week.  Woo!  Endorphins!

On the food front, I'm not doing as well.  I sort of had a bender yesterday - breakfast out with eggs and hash browns in huge portions, not enough water, not enough fruits and veggies, brownies before bed...

You know what?  I refuse to even dwell on it.  So what.  I had a damn brownie.  It was a totally awesome treat, and I'm over it now.

This week, I'm going to focus on really getting my fresh fruits and veggies in.  With temperatures over 100 degrees expected every day this week, I'm looking forward to concocting fruit salads, cold veggie dishes, finger sandwiches... in short, anything I don't have to cook.  I'll make an exception for some of those awesome sweet potato recipes you guys gave me...I cannot wait to sink my fork into a bowl of those.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got an ice-cold watermelon calling my name.
