Speaking of that...
Glee is going to give me a freaking heart attack by the time it's over. I'm just sayin'.
Back to my productive, yet relaxing day. I haven't even gotten to the best news yet. My mom is here for the weekend! She got here around lunch time and we've spent the afternoon meandering through random stores. Tomorrow we'll be taking the munchkin (by buddy's little munchkin, I certainly don't have one) to get her first haircut and then it's time for surprise pictures for Mommy and Daddy! I can't wait!
Another reason why today was awesome was today was the day that I realized that I actually don't really care for deep fried anything anymore. My Mom and I stopped at McDonald's for just a small lunch and I had 6 chicken nuggets and a small fry (510 calories, so respectable in one sense at least). My stomach has been upset with me ever since. I feel bloated and nauseated and just all around blah. I would have much rather had my little sliced chicken sandwich, Funyuns, and a yogurt. I was just amazed when it hit me, "I could never eat at McDonald's again and I would be OK with that."
Talk about a revelation.
It seems like things are continuing to improve in other areas of our life since we made our choice to live a (mostly) healthy lifestyle. Our entertainment budget has decreased significantly. Our house stays a bit cleaner. Our energy levels are 10 times what they were 3 months ago. Personally, I've even noticed that my skin is much clearer and my hair is shinier. My overall mood has changed dramatically. It never ceases to amaze me at how crazy I am to ever fall off the wagon in the first place. Eating right and exercise really is the best anti-depressant on the market. I know better than anyone, I've probably been on 10 different pills since I was 12. Now I take nothing. Aside from the occasional Aleve for the aches and pains of someone my size exercising 4-5 days a week for 45 minutes to an hour, I don't need any kind of medication to keep my sanity.
Does it help that I cohabitate with someone that might be the most patient person in the world? Probably. But he'll be the first to tell you that even he wasn't safe before I started changing my lifestyle choices. The past 3 months has really been an eye opener for me. I can't wait to see what the next 3 months brings!
Right now I'm more excited about tomorrow than anything. This is going to be so much fun!
