    1. i made a salad to go with my lunch even though i didn't want to make it or eat it.
    2. i pushed thru a yoga pose that i usually skip b/c it makes me want to faint, throw up, and cry all at the same time. neither of those happened though.

    Great idea for a thread!


    1. I indulged in sleeping in this morning. I didn't get out of bed until 10:30 a.m. - and I'm almost 40!

    2. Went out to breakfast at iHop and I ordered my favorite omelete and only ate 1/4 of it. It was nice to have the yum without the guilt

    3. Had a great day with my husband and son. I love these laid back Saturdays.

    4. My parrot has almost mastered her flying and now will land on you if you put your arm out.

    5. I am now relaxing on the couch with hubs, in my sweats, surrounded by our animals.

    1) I did 3 sets of 10 pushups.
    2) I took a 4-hour nap (which my body needed because I've been sick).
    3) I ate lots of fruits and vegetables.
    4) I cooked dinner with what was in the refrigerator (I normally have a tendency to do big shops before cooking)
    5) I think I have given my body enough rest and nutrition to start working out again tomorrow.
