Yay yay it's Friday

So, I would have taken a picture of the box of Lean Pockets that I ate for lunch, but I just didn't have the energy. Point is, I ate it. And actually, I am full and satisfied. A relatively new feeling for me.

I never recall ever feeling full before. I noticed it last night. Dan and I had respite care last night at the house with Tad, so we went to buy Angel Tree gifts for his work project. We stopped at Sonny's to eat and both ordered the Salad Bar. This was post-workout for me, so I was a little tired.

I made one trip to the salad bar and was full after I ate everything. Full. I felt it. I stopped eating. I made the waitress take the other plates. I wanted more. But I didn't eat it.

Before our evening started: on the way home from work I was feeling really awful. My body hurt from head to toe, and I felt like I was starting to get an ear infection. It was one of those feelings that you know if you go home, take a warm bath and crawl into bed you will feel much better. I told Dan I was going to use yesterday as my day off of the gym. He said, "are you sure? " and then "ok". So by the time I got home, I said that I would go to the gym and just do the strength training. No cardio.

I got there and it was pretty empty. I stretched out, did my strength training and had 15 minutes to spare before I went home. I decided to get in at least 15 minutes of cardio before I left. I was feeling better. So I did my treadmill and stretched out before I went to the grocery store and home. Boy was I tired last night after we got back from shopping! I went to bed, struggled to stay awake during "Grey's Anatomy" and fell asleep.

Speaking of "Grey's" ... they annoyed me last night with the story lines. Nuff said. Still one of my fave shows.

I have been out every night this week except for Monday night, so tonight after my gym visit, I am going to stay home and finish decorating my trees and house. Tomorrow Tad wants us to take him to see Santa.
