Today was the day! After 10 glorious weeks off I woke up early, actually put make up on, did my hair, and drove the 17 miles to my school.
Ah, it was nice to be back.
I actually was feeling pretty down, tired, and blah before I walked in the door. Then, it was like magic. Everything came flooding back and I was excited. It was like Christmas morning. Then I saw my room, and was immediately overwhelmed.
In my haste to get things done, I forgot to take pictures, but I can tell you, it was a horrific mess before hand, and now, it’s a slightly smaller mess.
All I day I was on my feet. I clocked in about 7000 steps before noon. Before I knew it, it was time to leave. I, exhausted, left and kept talking myself into the gym the entire way there. “Just one mile.”
I hit one mile, and then kept going. I wanted to finish my step goal before leaving so I kept my eye on the prize. After 4.5 miles, I was done. I basically crawled to the car and then drove home.
After a shower, I began to feel human again, but at the same time, so very tired.
I have the crockpot going for tomorrow’s dinner (Short ribs with veggies), but tonight might be a Panera night. Jason is on his way home and I am barely keeping my eyes open. I have lessons for the next two weeks done and typed up. I think day 1 was a success, so I’m going to feel good about that.
Meals:
- Breakfast: egg and sausage scramble at school
- Lunch: Big salad with chicken, diet coke
- Dinner: We’ll see what Jason wants
Activity: 4.5 miles on Elliptical
