Candle Light
I just lit all the candles in my apartment...so nice and peaceful. And then I laid here with my eyes closed..no noise.. for a good 10 minutes. So perfect.
My conclusion from my last post..I was overly exhausted.
Today was another long day--went to an Autism Conference in River Falls. I must say I was quite disappointed; I was so very excited for this.
Now I am curled up under an afkan with my body pillow and Black Jack.. glass of wine in my mom's "lemonade" glass (which I must say are quite possibly my favorite glassware ever. Watching NCIS.
One thing that is incredibly obnoxious... Jack likes to do his pawing thing before he lays down--let me define "hiw pawing thing" he slowly lifts his front paws simultaneously and digs them.. and it's generally on me--can't say it's in my top 10 feel good feelings. And it's not like he does this for 30 seconds...or a minute... or even 2 minutes..this is like a 10-15 minute procedure..and if he is smart he will stop after a minute or two otherwise he gets kicked out when I am not use to it.
Cirque Du Soliel is on NCAS right now and man I wish I could go watch it.

Is it Spring yet?
The weather is starting to get to me. I had a great day--productive, yoga, short work day, hung out with some friends..and came home to go to sleep before my 5am wake up call...and I am just super sensitive and for some reason really bummed out.
I blame the weather.
Tea.blanket.couch.book. That's what I want to do tomorrow. But at the same time I am excited for the conference tomorrow.
Is it wrong to blame the weather? Why does it feel that I am the only way who gets this way? I wish I wasn't so sensitive sometimes. But for some odd reason it warms my eyes and brings some sniffles.
My life is great, I have no complaints. I have a solid job. I have an amazing family. I have someone who loves me as much as I love him. I live in an awesome apartment with my bestie. I have food on my plate. I can afford fun things (occasionally). Is it this town? Is it the cold, short days? I know I'm just whining away... but there is something that is bring me down and I think what frustrates me is that I can't put my finger on it.
Maybe I'll put in Bride Wars or Mrs. Doubtfire and have a few giggles before bed. Maybe that will help.
Man 5am is going to come too soon... good thing I have a coffee maker.

First Milestone
5 lbs down!!!!! That always seems the hardest...now for ten :)
I am honestly a little surprised because I was a little bad the end of the week and only did yoga twice.
So to make up for it... and starting my crazy week at work--I just did a four mile on the tredmill--man that felt good..my legs are tingly!
To end my good going night--I am drinking veggie juice from my very own juicer and just got asked to watch Claire first weekend of February!! So excited!
I hope everyone caught the wonderful Packer game last night. I can't believe that we haven't played them in the Playoffs since 1940 (something) how insane..and it was definitely a great game!
I am so excited for the Superbowl--and man...if Raji did another play like that--wooooweee!!!
I've been addicted to NCIS and loving that there is a marathon tonight :)
I hope everyone is staying warm---this makes me question why on earth I chose Minnesota.
Oh yes..can't forget--so excited for this weekend :)

So Far So Good
I am going on Week Three--my second weigh in I am down another two pounds!!!!
I love how I now spend the money for fresh veggies and fruit. I also love how conscious I am now to what I am eating--I use to think I ate well.. but it's the little things--portion sizes etc. I am so proud of myself.
I've started yoga at home.. feels so good and oddly enough does make your mind feel as balanced as your body!
I got to see Claire this past weekend and she is cute as ever! We practiced animal noises, words, read books, and did puzzles, and had tickle monster attacks! So adorable!!!!

New Year...New Goals
Well, it's a new year..a new start...new memories...endless possibilities.
I had a great holiday season and birthday! Thanks to all of my family and friends!
It has been decided that I am finally going to get into the best shape of my life. I will love to run again and I will be proud of my body. Most of my upcoming posts will talk about my progress.
I am not running yet. But I have been on Weight Watchers for a week now and down 2 pounds! I am going to the gym. I am loving weight watcher recipes--the point system and tracking everything I eat has really been an eye opener. I can do this. I am doing this for me, and that is all that matters. Last night I made a weight watchers meatloaf and mashed potatoes--it was ok.. I am not that big of a meatloaf person in general but it was edible. The mashed potatoes made me sad because I couldn't add all the extras into it that i would have usually..but they were tastey with just yogurt in it.. I added basil which was a good choice!
