One and Done.

This is it - final day.  Oh boy.  Good and bad.  It's time.  I'm ready.

I was sound asleep when my alarm went off.  Probably lots of muscle recovery happening.  I'm sore-ish but not too bad.  Maybe I'm starting off better than I thought? (Or maybe the sore is still coming lol.)

Final EARLY, EARLY morning run.  I'll miss it.  I'll still do one outside run a week (early, but not this early).  First, I need to wake up.  I'm moving so slowly this morning  - so glad I prep EVERYTHING - practically can start my day in my sleep.

Read some more of The Happiness Project book last night.  It's losing a bit of it's thunder for me.  Chapters are dragging out a bit, but there are still "gems" to make it worth the read.  I need to finish it this weekend.  My list is calling!!

I don't even have my list written and I ordered something for my list lol!!  Monday is create-list-day.

Today is going to be a challenge in the eating department.  I mentioned the breakfast ... probably carb central.  Then a friend said he was buying me lunch.  I declined (my lunch is packed already) but he's insisting.  We'll see.  Again - don't want to be rude, but I need to be careful.  A not so good breakfast and lunch (topped with celebration, etc) can lead me face first into junk tonight.  It's tonight that I'm worried about.  Staying focused.

I know I sound nuts - too obsessed.  Soon I'll start "riding-my-bike" and that is the time when I fall down the slippery slope.  I need to focus on balance.  Treats are for special moments.  NOT a night sitting on the sofa, or junk eating in the car on the way home from work, or crappy food during the day "just because."

The balance is keeping treats to special times.  Actual SPECIAL times.  I can make anything in my head "special" ... today doesn't meet my criteria.

Speaking of which (treats that is) - baking went off without a hitch.  No cravings, no desire for a batter-lick - easy peasy.  It's so funny how sometimes it's no big deal at all and other times I have to practically tape my mouth shut.  I'll take the easy.  Of course, I'm greedy - I want ALL easy!!

Okay it's that time.  Wish me luck.  Wish me focus.
