I'm just in from Body Conditioning class. I did 40 minutes on the treadmill at 3.0 speed and 1.5 incline. I broke one hell of a sweat! I haven't felt this satisfied since karate! I always loved this feeling. The sense of accomplishment- the aftermath- the euphoria...it's wonderful.
I had a good day food-wise too. I actually forgot to eat breakfast. I left it in the microwave. I had 6 silver dollar size rice cakes at 10am. I had smart ones, carrot sticks, yogurt and grapes for lunch. No 3pm snack. Dinner was peanut butter on a bagel.
We learned all about nutrition in the class part of body conditioning. The old pyramid is what she believes is the best way to diet. Proper nutrition and exercise is the key. We knew that though. We just get so busy that it gets put on the back burner sometimes- or sometimes we're just too darn tired to follow what we know is best. For the record, I'm proud of us. Tomorrow when you tell your reflection something positive feel free to add that your friendly neighborhood diet blogger is very proud of you. Its hard and we mess up sometimes, but we haven't given up...that says something.
The depression from yesterday followed me into the morning though I tried to keep it hidden from my fellow workers. I did gain some karmic ground-(so to speak) today though. A neighbor of the telephone man that I am now on a close personal first name basis with came into court. She needed a certified copy of a certain document. I got it all ready, and the invoice typed while telephone guy left to go about his business. The poor neighbor then discovered that she had forgotten her wallet. Not only could she not pay the $5 for the document, she couldn't get her car out of the parking lot. I'm not wealthy but I had exactly $8 in my purse. It covered her needs and she went on her way. I'm a little worried because I have to go to Friday with absolutely no cash on me- but I helped out a fellow human being so I think it is worth the risk. Besides- I don't think she'll remember me as the fat lady behind the desk...I think it will be as the nice lady who helped her out in an embarrassing parking lot dilemma.
The second thing was another lady that came to the wrong court. She was pushing her mother around in the wheel chair on a wild goose chase- being sent back and forth from one side of the enormous court house to the other. I phoned her attorney who called back after she had gone to the first floor to try there. I chased her down and literally stayed with them until we found the correct room. Once I had the judges name it was a little bit easier. It still took awhile. She actually hugged me at the door to the correct court.... Another two people on this planet who aren't looking at me and seeing a fat woman. They are seeing a good heart. That's instant karma right there! I feel a little better knowing that.
My coworker says I take things to personally about the public getting so nasty. She is right. I just don't think I can change that about me though. Believe me I've tried. I'd love for it all to just slide off like nothing or to climb on my broom and buzz around for awhile if you get my drift...it's just not in my make up. I'm accused of being a doormat by two people whose opinions I highly value. It's true. I hate confrontation. That's not to say that I don't get my dander up when I've had enough but when I do it's because they pushed my buttons and that gets me upset...not just with them but more with myself. Sigh...I'm one big ball of electrified emotion huh? If you have a story or an idea or a way to change it please let me know! Its good karma.... ;-)
I'm going to sign off on that note. Remember 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. I'm with you...see you next blog. ;-)
