Attitude:
What happened today?
Not much today so far (it's 4:35pm), but I have thought about changing the format of at least part of this blog. I think I'll leave the food/movement section, but change this journal portion as it seems a little restrictive to my writing style. I'm going through withdrawals again today and right now all I really want to do is crawl into bed and go to sleep. I'm actually wearing a sweatshirt and socks and shoes (those who see me all of the time will know that this is very unusual!) to keep me warm. I tried to do my 30 minutes of aerobics, but ended up with a killer side ache after about 15 minutes, so I may try to do another 15 minutes later tonight and if I do, I'll let you know.


5 things I’m grateful for:
1. Sitcoms - I was feeling pretty down and blah, but watching According to Jim and Carpoolers and getting to laugh out loud really helped.
2. Wacky weather - I love the rain, sunny, snowy days...you never know what the clouds will bring next!
3. HHT - still love him. He's been very helpful and encouraging and understanding
4. Family and friends - all of the encouraging notes everyone has sent has been wonderful!
5. A good book - still reading Lord of the Rings again, a nice escape :o)

5 things I did right:
1. followed my eating plan to the letter
2. went to bed at the right time
3. cooked dinner so it was ready at the right time
4. kept my grumpiness in check with the kids
5. made my food for tomorrow
