Ok!! So today went GREAT!!!!! For the first time I feel like the day was a success. I started my day with an awesome breakfast which I instagrammed. (Shown below). I actually had the banana for a snack after my 3 km walk/jog. I woke up this morning so extremely excited for the day! I got up, made my kids a healthy breakfast and myself one - then completely tidied the house, I call this the "mommy warm up". Then I donned my running shoes and athletic clothes (including the pants that won't stay on when I run - so frustrating, but that's for another day). Then the kids and I went out! They were great. I took some music to listen to, but with leto talking to me the whole way, and the connection between the phone and the plug on the speakers I didn't really hear a whole lot. But oh well, I have learned the music is actually helpful and motivating, so if any of you are actually reading this blog and have good workout music to suggest for me please leave it in the comments.
Then lunch - I had a healthy turkey sandwich (oh yes, the snack was my banana and a mini cucumber (without RANCH!!!! new high for me, I don't like the taste of cucumbers... haha)) Then this afternoon for my snack I had the super munchies and instead of choosing something HORRIBLE (like chocolate chips and honey grahams...) I chose popcorn. Yay me. Not the best choice, but better. Good Better Best. I'll get there eventually right??
I guess this happened before lunch, but I did the CROSSFIT workout. After the first set, I was like man, this is exhausting I only got one more in me, and by the end of the 2nd set I was all like "I got this" Push yourself! It was great. Positive motivation coming from none other than myself! Definitely a change! That was great!

Here are the pictures from today (don't mind the odd face as I am trying to see (but looking down in glasses really doesn't work, as there is nothing there to correct my awful vision) the button to push. Man selfies ARE HARD WORK! I should get an award just for learning how to take them!
Something I realized today is that eating healthy food is actually delicious. It doesn't have to be smothered in sauce, or chocolate or baked with butter to be scrumptious (don't kid me wrong, those will never taste bad in my book). But I have learned that something simple as an egg with a whole grain piece of bread is soooo good. Or mix up some sweet potatoes with some onion and chicken and cucumber and some like balsamic vinegar or something actually sounds good! If my mother were to read this I think she would be very surprised, as I was the PICKIEST eater ever growing up.
Anywho, that was today. I look forward to tomorrow! Now I just need to find a little balance and study my scriptures more religiously too!
Jaroneous!
