High Hopes

Ok, last week was a rough one for me. I was exhausted, sick, depressed and had a hard time fighting cravings.

This week, however, is already starting off better. First off, I went to the grocery store Thursday. I can't say enough about how important the grocery store is to feeling good and eating right - at least for me.

The thing I love most about having a house full of groceries is the control it gives me over my diet. I know exactly what is in everything that I make, you know?

Last week everything was out of whack. No groceries and no time to go shopping meant a lot of eating out ... I did my best to be good about it, but as I say, how do I know what happens in someone else's kitchen? At school, I ate a lot of salads for lunch ... and am now saladed out - and broke.

So, I left Kevin's house early and spent the evening unwinding. I took a nice shower, packed my lunch (finally cut up celery so I have fresh veggies!), prepped the coffee maker to start at 6:50 and have all of the readings ready for my classes tomorrow.

It's now 9:30 and I've got "50 First Dates" playing in the dvd player (best marriage proposal EVER!) and I'm sipping my sleepy time tea.

Tomorrow is going to be a great day and it will start a great week. I am (finally) getting my car registered Tuesday, working on a big paper Thursday and Friday and getting my class outlines going all week. I love feeling in control of my to-do list instead of it controlling me.

I hope everyone else is ready for a great week, too!!!!!
