Friday Eve

It's Friday Eve. Yesterday was hump day, middle of the week and heading into the downward slide to the weekend. So at work we were looking at Demotivational poster and I found a few that used to define me to a tee:

This used to be me when I was a kid! I think that is why I shy away from competitive sports

This used to be my mindset. I hated exercising and trying to be good and always failing. Not anymore.
Today was great. I already blogged about my morning. Well my workout was great. It goes by when I have my iPod and just kick it in gear and go. Today I switched it up and did the elliptical trainer. It is really a simple machine to use, but I burn so much during my workouts. I close my eyes, hold on to the handrails and go to town. It is great. The machine said that for my whole workout I burnt 425 calories. I don't know how accurate that really is, all I know is that I was working hard. I felt great.
When I got home tonight we had to babysit for my brother so I ate a little of the fudge we made and then had some celery and scallions and carrots. Then had a bowl of cereal. Then later had some more fudge and some more vegetables. I want to be good the rest of the week. BUT tomorrow is the annual "Grazing Day" at work. What is Grazing Day you ask? Well it's when everyone brings a dish of something or goodies and we share and eat until the food is gone. I am taking my mother-in-law's spinach dip!! Yummy. I wasn't going to participate, infact I didn't even want to go to work tomorrow, but my wife told me that I need to go and learn how to control my habits in such a setting. Taking small servings of stuff and not going back for seconds and learning to listen to myself. So I am going to do it. I am still going to exercise also. I think I am going to need it!!
