Monday has arrived, another busy work week for me!!
Yesterday we ended up going to see Contraband. It ended up being an indulgence day with popcorn at the movies, stuffed chicken breast with rice and glazed carrots for dinner, and cherry pie ala mode for dessert!! Very tasty.
I did not step on the scale this morning. I'm sure it is up. How could it not be? It always is after indulgence day and with the popcorn ... well need I say more? However, today is back to my regular routine and I will weight later this week. Also, I didn't get my workout in this morning. I had to buy a new alarm clock and I had it set wrong so the alarm didn't go off this morning. Therefore, no time. Oh well. Such is life!!
It has been raining so there is now slush and ice to be negotiated. Always something with the weather I tell you! The highways are clear though so that is good. The drive home is a little interesting but nothing I can't manage. As long as the animals stay out of my way I should be fine.
The weekend was fairly productive. I was able to get quite a few things accomplished although there is always more. Always. But overall I had a good weekend. Next weekend is the Superbowl and while we don't typically watch football (as we do not have television reception at home) we will go to a friend's house. My husband always roots for the Patriots. Me? Well I don't even understand the game so I just go and hang out. There is always bejeweled blitz on my phone to entertain me. I think we'll bring pizza and snacks to our friend's house ... to make up for inviting ourselves ... so that will be my indulgence day this week.
So, before I dive into my paperwork catch up mode and getting ready for my day let me ponder what I am grateful for this morning.
1. Definitely grateful for safe travels and a nice weekend.
2. I am grateful my mom has a car I can use while mine is being repaired.
3. I am grateful for feeling positive about this journey.
4. I am grateful for my travel coffee cup (I bought it a while ago) that doesn't leak and keeps my coffee toasty hot!!!
5. I am grateful for laughter and silliness ... that lightens my days.
Easier to be kind to myself when I did not weigh!! LOL!!! I must remember the Gumby rule ... be flexible!!! Remember Gumby? When our children were young we used to remind them about the Gumby rule and now I find I must remind myself. There is no "right" or "wrong" way in my journey. Sometimes plans don't work out. Sometimes I eat more than my RDI. Sometimes I eat less. Flexibility, being able to increase and decrease my intake and exercise will support my long term goal of being healthy in my body and mind. The scale will go up and down. What I strive to avoid is mindlessness and being a kind caretaker of myself. Therefore, I am indeed continuing to practice kindness to myself, ever mindful that I am happier in body, mind and spirit when I do so.
Enjoy your day. Celebrate what gifts you have. Practice patience and kindness and take care of YOU!!

I remember Gumby, not alot, but I do remember. Sadly, I have no idea about Contraband. What is it... a band, a movie, a tv show, a play? I'm hopeless I know, but I trust you not to laugh. Be kind to yourself for sure. And don't worry about that scale.

I see your scale dropped. Great! I love movie theater popcorn, I don't go often to the theaters but I am craving it so hopefully this weekend. Well I should make room for super bowl. I love gumby. I actually don't remember that though, lol I was little, I don't remember it well I guess. Funny you mention him, my boss left town and she used to love gumby, now it makes sense. Thx for pointing that out! Today of all days, funny how it works.

I'm Gumby, dammit! Eddie Murphy's greatest role. You sound like you are feeling better-are you? You've lost 5 pounds in January! Awesome way to start a new year.

So how was the movie, Carol. (I so sound like I have a clue). Will check out the trailer later. But Gumby....Eddie Murphy, @Desible? No clue, really no clue. Did the animals stay out of way on the way back? Carol, you've already lost 5 lbs in January? You're doing great!
