Eh. It was..... ok. I am so tired. I just don't get it. I know, I know.... keep those feet moving and it will get better. The thing is.... getting the feet moving!
I did get off my arse. I went out to mow. May not seem like a big chore, but today it was. I got the front done and as I was headed to the back, the mower died. I wasn't shocked, really. It sat out in the monsoon we got last week, so I was pretty sure it would happen at some point. Well, I didn't expect it to never run the same again through the whole mowing. It's a self propelled mower. I must add here that I do NOT like the self propelling option. I loathe it. Part of the reason I love to mow is the fact that it IS exercise, no matter how much or little, it is exercise. Self propelling just isn't the same. Today, though, mowing without it was an awful chore. Evidently when it wasn't in self propel, the wheels were all but locked up. I have never in my life had to push a mower with the force that I did today. It was more than a workout. I wish my body came with a "calories burned" counter installed. I would like to think that every single calorie I took in today was burned in my back lawn.
Then, my kids won. I asked what they wanted me to make for supper. Their answer? MCDONALDS!!!! I really did fight with them for about half an hour. Not condusive to what I am trying to do here, folks. Then it hit me..... I LOVE THEIR SALADS. No, really. Have you ever tried a McDonald's salad? MMMMMMM Try one. They are the BEST. Honestly. So, I gave in. Not really to the kids, but to my craving. I figured, heck, I am having a healthy craving for once, why not give in to it? And it was SO worth it!
The rest of the eating today wasn't shabby. Had a healthy brunch and a good snack of cheese and crackers after school with the kids.
Life seems to be going well. We'll see what happens as the road lengthens. My plan.... to get on the treadmill as soon as all the kids are asleep. Hopefully within the next 30 minutes. (Hey.... they got new fish in the aquariums today. They are a little excited. It won't be long and they will pass out watching them.)

A calorie burner installed, now that would be fun! I laughed at your comment over there - note to self: remember note to self. That's hilarious.
I fear the days when I'm not motivated - I want this so bad. I feel like my own body sabotages that. Can I stick with something for 21 whole weeks! That's my plan, we will see!
Where'd the gratitude journal go??? Too much to keep track of? No reason you can't put some on this one. Or just do Sundays...
Anyway - I just didn't see it - thought I would ask.
