Sisterhood of the Chicks!
New post! I don’t even want to write on the same page as that bunch of self-pity I’ve been throwing out. What a load of crap! You, Chickies, are so fantastic! I was reading all the wonderful, supportive comments and I started feeling guilty about all the whining I’ve been doing the last couple of days. I’m sooo done with that. Tomorrow will be wonderful because I won’t settle for anything else. In order to accomplish that, I’m going to spend the rest of the evening preparing:
1) I’m going to prepare breakfast and lunch for tomorrow so I’ll have something wonderful to munch on and won’t have to eat a crummy Nutrisystem meal or Lean Cuisine.
2) Lay out a beautiful, comfy outfit that will make me feel fabulous tomorrow.
3) Take my sister’s advice and go visit Carnival.com to think about our upcoming cruise and get motivated to lose another 15 pounds before I leave.
4) Plan an absolutely fabulous lesson for tomorrow so my kiddos will be so entertained they won’t even realize they’re learning.
5) Exercise tomorrow. Choices - Low Impact Aerobics tape, my own workout, or the treadmill. Absolute minimum of 45 minutes.
Well, alrighty then! I have a lot to do before bedtime! Thank you, Amigos, for getting me back on track!
