Hump Day

Good HAPPY morning.

Why? Well, I'm sitting here with my new coffee flavor - vanilla cinnamon.  But a confession - it's a blend with a little bit of caffeine (I really wanted a new flavor) so I'm keeping strict decaf for my morning teas.  It tastes so good.

Yesterday's lift workout seemed a bit disappointing.  She's starting the new year with back-to-basics so a lot of the class was instructional (for the newbies).  I actually debated adding a workout today because it felt too easy.  Well, this morning ... I'm stiff and sore.  So I guess "basics" work too lol.  Rest day it is.

But it's still a busy day.

Trader Joe's run.  A mega shop.
Rice crispies delivery to work.  Should be fun to stop in for a visit. (I still need to make the treats.)
Regular grocery store run.

That is, if my garage door is behaving.  Looks like it's acting up and I might need to call in a repair.  So I need to be flexible.  Fingers crossed.

Family leaves tomorrow morning (early) and I have one day to get rooms and the house in order for the girlfriend weekend.  Snow is expected on Saturday.  Any snow in GA is a problem.  We'll see how it goes.  Much better than the original forecast of snow on Friday.  Fingers crossed (still).

Even though tomorrow will be busy, I'm going to enjoy a day to myself.

I did well with my healthy habits yesterday.  I drank a fermented tea (I can't spell the name and autocorrect isn't letting me try lol).  It's suppose to be good for the stomach and my stomach was so unsettled this week.  Much better this morning.  I stayed clear of problematic foods and drank the tea - that worked.

The fog and yuck of eating poorly has cleared.  Part of me is really bummed this is a "treat" weekend.  The other part of me can't wait to eat sugar and drink wine.  Two faces of ME.  I will be very, very glad to have a break for a couple of weeks.  Treats are dominating too heavily this month.  They have to be a rarity, not part of my regular life.  I don't like the on-off feeling anymore.  I need prioritize the treat-time and keep my healthy habits the other part of the weekend.

As usual (at least lately), another red zone will be jumping right back at it once the weekend is over.  Especially since there is no immediate rush to return to healthy (i.e. I have a 3 week respite).  I seem to take a few days to get back with the program (so to speak).  Hopefully, not this time.  Choice is mine (which is the problem lol).

Okay, time to make the donuts rice crispies.  Later gators.  Off to continue my HAPPY hump day.
