Great day on the elliptical. I actually went longer without feeling whiny and wimpy. It certainly is a great way to start my day. Tomorrow will be a test to see if I can get up reeeeally early and workout, get dressed, feed the masses and get outta Dodge on time.
As far as creating anything, a lil swing time and dabbling with watercolor crayons. I think they are the coolest things! They are great crayons, but dip 'em in water and it's a totally different effect. Color with them and then add a brush dipped in water, yowza yowza. Very therapeutic.

31 Days ~ Day 7
Well, well, well...7 days. And I am coming to the realization that I am failing at cooking. I am just not gettin' it done. And the world is not going to end! We are all getting fed, allbeit leftovers and this that and the other, but the world hasn't ended, no one is complaining (to me anyway), and my self-worth isn't crumpling. HA Take that trolls!!! Does this mean I quit altogether? Nope. Just not going to stress about something I'm not getting done.
As far as exercising, I am kicking butt:) Got up earlier this morning and even though I was whiny and had to talk myself into getting up, I did what I needed to do. I have cut back on eating junk~even liquid satan has been noticably absent. Feeling MUCH better!
I bought a t-shirt today. Green. Regular T. Because I want to cut one up and then sew it into a new T. As I ripped the arm seams apart this evening, I admitted to myself that this random crafting is fun but might I be avoiding finishing one thing before moving onto the next? Hmmmm.... sounds like my usual MO. That led me to paint a slat on the swing. I didn't pick the sketchbook back up; knew that sketching would lead to further procrastination. The swing. I've got to get it done! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I'm painting tomorrow. I'm painting the day awayyyyy...

31 Days ~ Day 6
Great workout this morning:) It was intense and I was toast afterwards. My children laughed when I came up for air. I was soaking wet and kinda trembly. I looked awful!!!! Felt like a champ.
The remainder of the day was truly a lazy one. And that's okay. I didn't get stressed out about "should be"or "could be", I just spent the day laid back and planning on accomplishing very little. No trolls taunting me:) My creative streak consisted of getting my workout journal lined up and filled in. And trolling some great websites to get some new ideas.
Dinner~ so many good things to choose from~ as in leftovers...I put 'em together and served them up. I kept putting off the grocery store trip until a massive thunderstorm made it an easy decision to stay home. So after tomorrow's workout (which will be earlier in the a.m.), I will make that trip and truly cook. I have really failed in that respect.as far as this challenge goes.
In my mind, I think how wonderful it will be to have a sit down dinner and cooking all of these wonderful meals. Then there's reality. No one is home at the same time. I procrastinate and it's time to eat with nothing ready. whine Time to put my big girl panties on and Just Do It.
