I am not going to tell you I've been on a eating binge from hell this past week!
I am going to tell you that, once I again, I was reminded that acting on the bad cravings never really satisifies the desire. However, when I eat healthy, I'm usually content.
This weekend my husband and I started building a 10'x12' outdoor playhouse for our kids. So I'vve hauled 2x4's, 4x4's, deck planks and sheets of plywood. In addition to that, I tored down our old wire/post fence. One would think that not such a hard job, but one would be wrong.
This is not my yard, but this is what was up when we bought the house.
This weekend I got to rip that down. Large wire cutters, heavy hammers and sledge hammers were all the required tools. Those posts are in the ground and held with cement. When my husband told me I could use the truck to push them over, I didnt' realize he meant VERY SLOWLY and just GENTLY PUSH. I didn't rev through them, but 2 I broke off, then requiring me to HAND DIG THEM OUT! ARGH!
So I have definitey gotten lots of fresh air as we were outside from morning to night. And I definitely got my workouts in - YOU try slinging a sledge hammer!
Although I did get fitness in, my diet suffered at the hand of quick no-bake food, i.e. fast food and chips! ARGH! But thinking as I soaked in a tub of epsoms salts last night, starting to beat myself up, I once again remembered this quote:
“Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ”

So today I had a small but decent breakfast, I've had my iced coffee (no sweet n low), and to settle my queezy stomach, so pita chip crumbs. ha ha ha I just ordered my grilled chicken salad with balsalmic vinegarette dressing and am about to get up to get a large tumbler of iced water.
