Carrots

Dear Julie,

Today I walked all over our zoo chasing 4 kids for about 3 hours :) as my exercise. Now, I did check and that particular form of exercise is nowhere to be found on any of the weeks of the couch to 5K program, but I'm counting it!!!! I also dutifully packed my bag of baby carrots for my lunch and I actually ate them this time. Go me! And I didn't even finish Anna's peanut butter and honey sandwich which I have been known to do in the past. And not just because she ate it all either... For dinner I ate a grilled chicken and cobb salad from the Outback. And damn it all, I ate a handful of cheese fries. Which aren't even that good. Why did I do that? Oh well, its a fair sight better than the plateful of cheese fries and 3 helpings of bread with honey butter that I normally eat there. Right? Tell me I'm right. I'll do better tomorrow- I swear.

Right now, I'm watching Anna play (which is hysterical btw when she doesn't realize you're watching her) and going through all my skills for tomorrow's test. Last one (always assuming I pass this semester!)

Ok, did you get your exercise in? How'd you eat today? Here's your inspiration- I really want to figure out how to get this song on the blog if we can and if you like it well enough. Stolen from The Biggest Loser:

 Proud
by Heather Small

I look into the window of my mind 

Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
