Good Intentions

When I left the house this morning, I had the best intentions.

I was going to eat really healthy foods.

I was going to drink the equivalent to my weight (in ounces...or at least milliliters--that's a lot less for those of you who shun the metric system) in water.

And best of all...I was going to exercise like I never exercised before!

Well...plans change.  That's all I can say.
When I got to work I realized that I had forgotten both my water, and my beloved diet soda at home.  I was so sad.  And so thirsty!  Thankfully we have a soda machine at work, but I had to do with Diet Pepsi (bleh) instead of my positively delectable Pibb Zero.  Somehow I persevered and made it through the day with no caffeine.  I know, I even amaze myself sometimes.  However, not a drop of water was to be found on my lips today.  Even now, at ten minutes to midnight, I have yet to partake of the H 2 Oh-no.  Before bed I will absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt consider having a glass of water.  :O)

I did make good food choices though.  Even dinner wasn't all that bad.  I went grocery shopping after work and stuck to my list AND my new menu for dinners for this week.  I was so proud of myself this weekend for actually making a menu of meals that I like and are relatively quick to make after coming home from a grueling, soul-crushing highly-satisfying day of yelling at kids educating young, impressionable children. 

The menu for the week consists of veggie-lovers pizza (made this tonight - yumminess!), shrimp tacos, veggie soup & grilled cheese sandwiches, and spaghetti with mushrooms, olives & artichoke hearts.  Friday is up for grabs because it's a day out with the girls, so who knows what we'll be doing then, but it's the night before the big weigh-in, so it will have to include something light that will hopefully be filled with lots of fiber so it can "evacuate the building" before I step on the scale.  (You know that you hope for a good poo before you get on the scale, too, so stop looking at me like that.  I know I'm not the only one who has weighed myself pre- and post- poo and has been amazed at the weight difference!)

So that brings me to today's exercise.  Or lack thereof. 
It just didn't happen.
I wanted it to, but...no.  Not tonight.
As it was, I got home from store around 8:30, after working late tutoring some ungrateful little eager young minds.  And then went to 3 different stores for items I just had to have.  Alas, I did not find my Vitamuffins though, so I'll be making another trip tomorrow as well.  A Weight Watcher's work is never done. 

So when I got home I was tired.  I was hungry.  And I'll admit it, I was feeling lazy.
So I took the night off.
And I think I'm okay with that.
If the worse thing that I've done today is not exercise, then I think I'm doing alright.
