note to self

I just wanted to document this feeling of success...
Today was awesome and everything went according to plan... even the things that didn't.
The run/walk with Dexter this morning was refreshing... not exhausting... and I didn't get tired at work, though I was afraid I might. When I got home, not only did I make it without a problem, but Dexter had FINALLY held it all day. I let him out and he went number 1 and 2 immediately, but there was no mess in his kennel. HOORAY!
We played fetch, I went to the gym, I came home and had a tiny, late dinner, and made enough for a solid lunch tomorrow. The gym even felt great... I tried my very first spinning class and WOW did it kick my ass. The instructor is a Polish women's kickboxing champion, who just came off her MATERNITY leave, over CHRISTMAS... and she looks like she hasn't missed a day in the gym in the last 5 years... talk about motivation!
I'm getting in bed a little later than I would have liked, but still earlier than I fall asleep most nights (regardless of what time I lay my head down).
It is so refreshing... I have a sense of peace, accomplishment, and joy right now and it charges me up for tomorrow... I know I won't feel like this every night, but next time I've had an especially rough day I can look back at this and hopefully catch a glimmer to remind me to keep my head up.
