Today began as a tired one. I dragged myself out of bed and through the morning ritual robotically. After a cup of coffee I was good to go. I had much to do before work.
My co-worker just closed on her first home so I wanted to do the special good luck tradition that I've done for years, for her. I purchased a lovely picnic basket at 'Crate and Barrel' yesterday while shopping in Woodbury Commons in New York. I put a bottle of wine; not just any wine- Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio, a loaf of bread; Cinnamon raisin swirl, and a container of salt; Morton's into it. These are symbols of good luck for new home owners; not the brand names- that was all me. The items mean special things. The bread is so the household will never know hunger, the salt is so their lives will always have flavor, the wine is so that their household will always know luxury. The woven basket is so that they will weave long lasting friendships and love in their new community. I gave it to her. I think she really liked it. I got it ready before work, which meant I had to go to the grocery store for the bread and salt. I had purchased the wine yesterday.
I wore one of my new blouses. It's very flowing and angel like. I felt pretty in it though I felt fat today; bloated or something; I'm not sure why. I just forged ahead though. I felt like I ran the marathon to get to work on time. I gave up my few minutes of meditation to do so. I missed it. The morning flew by in an instant and it was lunch time. We discussed missing the coworker that left to have her baby. It's nice but just not the same without her.
The afternoon raced by as well. I blinked and the workday was over. I came home, cooked dinner for hubby and myself; went to school and watched him teach diving for an hour; went to body conditioning class where I did 40 minutes on the treadmill at the great dismay of my left knee and now I'm in and doing the blog before shower and bed. Whew!
I had a weight watcher one point chocolate cake for breakfast because I forgot to eat this morning. Grapes for snack, Smart Ones and lite n fit yogurt for lunch, 6 silver dollar rice cakes for snack, steak, mac n cheese and green beans in correct portions for dinner. I am going to grab a spear of watermelon before the shower. I'm feeling hungry. I'm also very tired. I think all of that shopping caught up with me. We walked for hours and hours. I'm not sorry, just pooped.
I do want to let you know that my emotions were on a roller coaster ride today. I'm unsure of why. I feel bloated too; awkward. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime: Remember, you look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will look that much better. Don't let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having fun. Stay positive. See you next time. ;-)
