I'm feeling pretty darn good about my weigh in today, especially since I am on my period. I think that since I have started, my metabolism has sped up and energy has increased by a ton!
Today is my day off. I used to be able to sleep in until noon or later on such days, but now my body is forcing me to be awake at 8-9am. I know it's still kinda late, but it's a lot earlier than it used to be. I don't waste that time by sleeping too much anymore. Now I spend that time riding my bike, lifting weights, or doing some gardening. I feel like I have a lot more time than I used to on my days off. Workdays are still busy as ever. This past weekend, it was a zoo at the nursery. And I don't blame them. It's been beautiful out!
I like going outside a lot more than I used to. I like going around the neighborhood and doing my gardening. I have a small vegetable garden in the back yard and a flowerbed in the front. Our porch has a few large pots that I arranged flowers in, and they are looking really nice. I am also growing some chamomile for tea, because last year I forgot you had to dry the flowers instead of throwing them in a ziploc bag while they're still moist (I dunno what I was thinking!) We also have a black raspberry bush and a gooseberry bush in our backyard.
My only complaint is that the mosquitos are horrible this year! I can go out at 9am and get bitten up just as much as going out at 7-8pm. Maybe we should invest in some mosquito plants...
