Yesterday was really a rough day mentally and emotionally. I can't remember if I stated that my friend's husband died yesterday morning. He was about 36/37...had pneumonia. They just had a baby in January. It just really got me. My friend has been through so much. She lost her mother recently to ALS, her dad 2 or 3 years ago to cancer, her grandmother's recently....yea a lot. When I read that the hubby passed....it was like someone had kicked me in the stomach. I just wanted to eat all day long. I never made the gym. I spent the day practicing and trying to wrap my mind about how my friend was handling all of this.
By 10 after being filled with music and a few episodes of Mad Men, I remembered I had chocolate in the house. *bad news* I ate about 8 small pieces of a Mil.ka Strawberry Bar that I love. *sigh* Oh well, when I hit the scale this morning....yea, i hit it daily to keep me in check...it said I was down 2 more pounds. *whew*
I keep pressing on.
So....what am i learning? i'm learning the importance of making time to be prepared. does that make sense? well today i went to bj's and stocked up. i got some collard greens, even though i wanted kale, some salad fixings, black bean burgers, sweet potato fries (my personal crack) and some chicken breasts. if it is here...i have NO excuses. i feel focused and ready. right now as i type...i'm cooking my collards so they will be ready for tomorrow.
yay me...i'm learning....i really am.
a little quote from my zumba teacher before i go..."to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe" Anatole France
i'm believing....
peace and blessings.....
