October 19, 2009 Diet Blog

It's Monday. My motto on face book, for the day was to kick Monday's butt. I'm happy to report that I've succeeded in that endeavor. This morning I made up the Blog advertisements to hang up around the college on the bulletin boards. They had information about the link at the bottom, cut so they were easily torn off in route to a class. I can't take credit for the 'how' part. I looked around at the bulletin boards and discovered that this was how it should be done. I also hung one up outside of the school newspaper office. I'm hoping that they will put it in the paper- but I'm not holding my breath.
I went to work and made copies of it to take to the college later on and then I started my day. It was a busy, whirlwind kind of day and I have to admit I was very glad to see it end. When I came home I went on to face book and then laid down for awhile. My back is still hurting. I have one spot that feels like its underneath my shoulder blade and is having a knife penetrating it deeply. I don't know what I did. I babied it all day.
I went and watched my husbands scuba class. He was teaching and I took pics on my phone and sent them out to various friends. Several answered. They seemed to enjoy the fact that I did that. I went to body conditioning class where I did the usual 40 minutes on the treadmill. I got my aerobic training paper back. I got an 'A.' My quiz was also an 'A.' I'm happy to report that my average right now is a whopping 103% because I also got the extra credit correct. I'm feeling kind of good about that.
I ran around hanging up the Blog advertisements in between the two things and I'm also feeling pretty good about that. I noticed as I ran around from bulletin board to bulletin board that there are a whole bunch of junk- containing vending machines there. I hadn't realized how many. There were a few good choices but mostly junk. The people from the college with weight troubles will need a battle plan for that. That's going to be tough to fight off, especially if they are in the habit of buying candy and eating it as a meal on the run. I'm guilty of that myself in the past. They can still use the machine but they'll have to switch to granola or pretzels or something less damaging, and have water or diet drinks as a beverage. Where there is a will, there is a way.
I'm going to sign off and head for a hot shower to ease my tense shoulders and back. I'm not sure why but they are tightening up even as I write. I'll just remind you (and myself as I do each day) that you look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will look that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having a good time. Stay positive! See you tomorrow! ;-)
