Turn This Day Around

This morning, when the alarm went off, I rolled over and snored on my husband's shoulder for about 25 minutes. I got up and flopped on the couch with my coffee. "Not going to the gym this morning" I mumbled to my husband. Since he is planning on riding his bike tonight, he had no issue with my choice.
Once the caffeine did its magic, I looked at the clock, realized I had time for a workout and changed the day around. I went to the gym and I didn't just work out...I kicked my own butt. 45 minutes of weights with back, chest, arms and shoulders....I even tried some new exercises from my latest Oxygen magazine. Then I did 30 minutes of cardio.
I went home for my shower and had an awesome protein shake with tons of fruit, had my shower and started to drive into work. I had my usual internal discussion about stopping for a coffee....but that usually leads to a bagel too ( an extra 330 calories)... I got the coffee, because I wanted it, but no bagel....and even when the pusher at the drive thru window tried to get me to buy a cookie ( for charity don't you know) I refused......
It's going to be a good day!

Well I decided to take the day off today from exercise and being crazy about the food that goes in my mouth. Now I am re-thinking that. It is too late for my morning workout. But I still have several hrs at work to change my mind.0
