    Got off the sofa and did some wii fit instead of doing nothing.
    Did a plank for 15 seconds longer than I thought that I could, even though it is not much, it is a start.
    Under my calories, despite a HUGE lunch.

    Honestly it wasn't a good day but in the midst of the misery, I did find 3 things.

    Had a good meeting with a colleague and came up with a new project at work (and we implemented the first stage this morning and it went well!)
    My long time housekeeper/babysitter who loves my kids as if they were her grandkids and takes great care of hubs and me too
    My brother calling me right away when I texted that I was upset about something and my sister called back fairly quickly too

    May 4th

    Went running and it was a better run than Wed
    5:30 am radio interview went well
    Took a good nap
