Karma

     I do believe in karma. Today my good karma came when I decided to quit being lazy and do my workout. I was going to wait until 8 p.m. to workout because I thought maybe I'd catch a good TV show. I had my workout clothes on at 4 p.m. and just made excuses with cleaning to not work out until 6:30 p.m. rolled around. I went out to the garage, jumped on the elliptical and turned on the TV. NCIS was on.... it was a special episode with the cast of NCIS: LA (The ladies really do love Cool J) as part of their team. My two favorite shows meshed together, just for me, as a way to congratulate me for not procrastinating. I busted out a 30 minute session/3.2 miles/365 calories burned. That was the first time I have ellipticalled since we moved back to SC, 7/8 months ago. It felt good and I'm excited to do it again tomorrow.

**Truth: The only real reason I worked out is so I wouldn't have to write "well, I didn't workout again today". <--Sammy called me out on that earlier. Haha** Accountability. Find somebody who will keep you straight. Whether it be a friend or a blog that you write so some stranger knows whether you're getting your workout on or not. That's why I do it.

Before: Ready to do it.

After: Exhausted with two cute photobombers who were super excited I was taking a picture. 

    Meal Breakfast: Caramel Nut Granola Bar- Because I was lazy, late and didn't feel like actually making something to eat.
     Meal Lunch: Mom made homemade turkey soup, it was SO good. I had two small bowls of it and went light on the cheese/crackers.
     Meal After Lunch: Mom had made truffles.... MmmMM! Recipe is found here. I ate one and it was worth it. Then I ate a piece and a half of her homemade fudge with sea salt on top. Worth it again.
     Meal Dinner: My smoothie and an apple.
     Meal After Dinner/Workout: Caramel Nut Granola Bar, an apple and a handful of mixed nuts.
*Only drank water and black coffee all day. Skipped the sweet tea and diet pepsi!!
     So, looking back at this, I realize how much I love chocolate and how I really have no will power around it. I am happy with how I did today and I think I did good. Very glad I finally just "did" the workout that I have been dreading for a couple months now. Tomorrow my goal is to eat three REAL meals of 250+ calories and two to three snacks of fruit or something like that. Only water and at least a 30 minute elliptical session!
