Goood afternon! Happy Hump Day!
I actually forgot it’s Hump Day…I’m totally thrown off this week. I got a little bored on Monday and decided to start a new project. (I can’t leave well enough alone, it’s a fact.) Well, it’s actually more like a business, because I now I have “interns.” It’s taking Shedding It to a new level, but I’m going to hold off on details until it’s all ready to go. Suffice to say…I’m not bored anymore.
I read this quote in O Magazine last week that I found really relevant: “Even your Blackberry gets to re-charge.”
That really made me stop and think. When the battery gets low on any one of my millions of gadgets, what do I do? I plug them in! Immediately! Like, OMG WHERE’S MY CHARGER THE RED LIGHT IS ON OMG OMG OMG. But if I’m feeling a little worn out, I just keep soldiering on, thinking it’ll be fine…and I’m sure a lot of you do the same thing! But I’m trying to keep the image of plugging myself in in my mind this week! Because think about it…when your Blackberry is fully charged, it’s it up and buzzing and ready to go…and, really, it’s the same for the rest of us! After my snow day on Monday, I felt so great that I was actually looking forward to working again on Tuesday. My mind felt fresh with new ideas. And then, BAM, I started this whole new deal.
Anyway.
Today has been a good day in food! Was up at 7:00 to get rolling and had a Greek yogurt and a bowl of oats…
I worked all morning, and honestly, time flies! I was doing stuff for my new project and also working on a new blog challenge that’s going to be starting next week. More details to come next week, but I’m SO excited about this!!
Before I knew it, it was time to eat again. (Um, let’s be honest, that’s how I like to live my life.) Lunch was leftover tacos! TACO TUESDAY FOREVER!!! I had a tortilla with black beans, light sour cream, homemade guac, taco meat, salsa, and lettuce, and a whole sliced orange pepper on the side.
For some reason, we’re having really great fruit right now, so I also had cantaloupe and strawbs!
Fab! Then it was (is) back to work…but I do need to get out of this house today, as I did not yesterday or Monday, so I think I am going to run out to Borders for a recipe organizer. They are piling up all over my desk and it’s irritating me. I did cardio yesterday and effectively kicked my own ass on my new bike, but I’m feeling better today, so it’s time to get back in there for a hot little quickie with my kettlebell!
Have a great afternoon!

Are you a single gal? Seems to be the case, which is A GOOD THING, you seem so in touch with yourself and you so focused on eating clean and exercising and making those priorities in your life. I’m still struggling with that, when I was with someone in a committed relationship, where I knew they wouldn’t leave my side, it was easy to just let myself go, but now… I LOVE being single, because for the first time in AWHILE, i feel like I’m starting to reconnect with who I am inside myself and truly set my priorities straight in terms of healthy eating and exercising. Thanks for being an inspiration for that.
You know, it’s funny, when I was in college, being single was bad for my health…because I was never *really* single and all my half-assed relationships made me super insecure and crazy and if I was being “healthy” it really just meant “not eating so I can drink every night so I can drunk text this guy and still be skinny.” But now that I’ve stopped all that frat boy nonsense, I’ve found that yes, it’s much easier to be healthy! That’s awesome that you are putting yourself first! I think once you make that a habit (as I have now and it sounds like you have too), it’s like you can’t give it up! So when you are ready or you do meet someone great, it’s easier to be sure he won’t hold you back from those things!
That’s what I’m looking for anyway.
