I feel so happy, grateful, and good!

Today I feel better than I have in my whole life, I think! Now that I'm in CO, and all the stress of the past few weeks is gone, I've finally been able to sleep again.

I can't believe how good I feel.

Today I just walked...no running, but a fair bit of walking. Probably at least 4 miles.

A lot of resting today too.

Watering plants in the greenhouse with a watering can is a good anterior deltoid (front shoulder) workout! =)

Back to happy!

By the time I was walking to work, I realized that I'm back to my ever-increasingly-happy self! Exuberance abounds! Happy Friday!

Went to bed last last night (just before 11 p.m.).

Woke up around 6:00 a.m., didn't feel like intense training (still digesting bell peppers, nut butter...they tend to slow everything down).

I started by playing some music and practicing some bellydance moves from class last night. I interspersed the dancing with one set each sit-ups, twist-sit-ups, pushups, and lunges. Didn't do this for very long...maybe 20 minutes or so?

Got off the bus early and walked to work (35 minutes). Felt full of joy and exuberance. =) Really happy, even though it was gray outside.

Lunch - big bowl orange salad (cara cara, navel, blood, valencia). hachiya persimmons
Dinner - big papaya. hachiya persimmons. followed later by lots of salad - green leaf lettuce (3 heads!) with some pumpkin seed/orange/tahini dressing. 1 spoonful mac nut butter.

New Years Goals

Ah, the first of the year! What better time to take stock and figure out things that will take you to the next level and overcome challenges. Here are my thoughts.

-Love myself MORE.
-Continue to cultivate relationships with others.
-Exercise before the first meal of the day. Even if not feeling up to intense training, some walking or dancing or yoga will do. I want to get in the habit of being active every day. =)
-If it's daylight, I eat fruit
-Begin dinner meal with fruit
-Don't buy tomatoes during the day.
-In bed by 9 p.m., unless I truly (!) have something better to do.
-TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN! =)

I started today - 20 minutes dancing before breakfast.
Had a crappy day in general.

Went for a 2 hour walk in the evening.
