Labor Day…7th Day of the Challenge
I had a great day today. It all started off with me finding outthat I dropped about 6 pounds since I got back from my fun filled Mexico vacation. Awwww, the world is a wonderful place…I also got a chance to go out with my baby,Mom, and sisters to the park and get some much needed exercise and sun in on this beautiful day. My car even broke down and I thought it was…ok. Glad it didn’t happen Tuesday when I needed to be a road runner, to and from work, and dropping my baby off at her Granny’s for the day. So, I got my car fixed at the park by triple A. I got a new battery and my flat (a slow leak) pumped. Who is ever happy about their car breaking down…my crazy butt…lol!
Well, I think I am doing pretty good with staying on the challenge. This is the 7th day so I have completed the first full week. What haveI accomplished on my list?…great quality time with my family, good practices, clarity with the direction I would like to take my career in over the next 3 months, and a decision to focus on my health and nutrition. I have been drinking some great all vegetable and fruit smoothies. We juice a couple of carrots, green apple, and one celery stock, then blend that juice with a banana and a half and a hand full of frozen strawberries or a sliver of pineapple with ice. I have so much energy after drinking that drink. It tastes fantastic…the banana and the green apple and strawberries or pineaple cover up the taste of the carrot and celery. You get your full serving of fruit and vegetables before you even start your day. I have been drinking one in the morning and the evening. I substituted it for dinner a few nights last week and it is definitely a great breakfast.
Well, the baby is already sleep…I think that was also a goal I mentioned earlier this week, which is actually giving me the time to write this blog entry. I am exhausted though because she didn’t really nap and was like her usual “energizer bunny” self all day today. She is so wonderful and fun, so I can’t help myself but give her kisses all over her face while she sleeps, trying to do my best not to wake her back up…I’ve been writing a great song about mylittle princess. Can’t wait ’till I can record it. I still have alot more to write. Wish me luck. Nichole Ayanna signing out.
