Hello Weekend!

It Friday.  Whoop whoop!

I have a fun, HAPPY weekend planned.  Out with a friend this afternoon, dinner tonight with my youngest, second (and final) part of the nutrition class on Saturday, hike on Sunday and Steelers game with friends Sunday afternoon.

I have a list of stuff to get done before the fun starts.  Stuff that's falling in the I-don't-really-want-to-do-this-today category - bills, banking problem, baking, stupid errands (broke by "b" list streak).  I have the baking started (I can't see my kids without a special treat!).  These fall into the HAPPY-when-they-are-done pile.

My new recipe was good last night.  The "complicated" flavor recipes seem to taste better the next day.  I think this will too.  I got smarter and am freezing most of it for later.  I don't need to eat 12 meals of curry lol!

I slept well last night (hubby has a cold so I'm in another bedroom this week - nice!).  I had lots of weird dreams again, but the one that sticks in my mind ... eating a whole pan of double thick brownies.  God, I love a food dream ... all the pleasure, none of the guilt.  I can still "feel" the brownies lol!!

My mood got infinitely better after my workout yesterday.  My muscles were exhausted ... in a great way.  I'm not sore today - that's how it should be and why it's great to have an instructor who knows her shit.  Tabata this morning.

What I love most about my new workout schedule ... I'm excited about EVERY workout (99% of the time).  I love tabata, but am super excited to run outside Sunday, etc, etc.  VARIETY folks - it a real good thing.

I had some cravings yesterday afternoon (again!!).  Frustrating.  I really felt like I needed to eat.  So I did - just all healthy stuff.  I actually only had a small dinner because I was finally satisfied.  I don't know if the cravings are a bi-product of the weekend of treats or I "needed" more nutrition.  The healthy food seemed to work though.  I'll be careful today. (Notice the wording here - no "good" or "bad" - good girl!)

Baking is out of the oven (BTW - it's not easy to bake before my morning coffee - it's a bit of a crap shoot) so best get on with the day.  House smells lemony and delicious - a HAPPY side-effect of an early bake.
