Well what started off as a bad morning turned into a pretty good day.  I had a nice lunch, stayed busy at work and even managed a 3 mile walk this afternoon even though it was only 52 degrees out!  I had to pack lots of tissues with me as my allergies are kicking my rear!  But I love the outdoors too much to stay inside so I’ll just go by tomorrow and pick up my allergy meds.  Starting them alot sooner this year but what can ya do about it?  I am sick of sneezing and dripping.

I came in this afternoon famished as a bear.  Or so I thought.  All I could think about was pigging out on something…anything!  I just didnt care.  But I sat down here and a picture of a fellow buddy inspired me.  I was sitting there thinking about heading to the fridge when I thought, no…I want to look good this summer.  I want to put on my shorts and have people comment that I look good, that I look thin.  So I bundled up, grabbed my tissues and mp3 player and out the door I went!  I beat the hunger monster (Hungry, yeah…thats his name LOL!).

We just had a nice supper and I still have 4 points leftover so I will snack on something later.  And I will probably get on my bike once my food settles.  The elliptical is out of order until further notice.  It had been making a horrible clunking sound for some time so I havent been using it much.  Once I got to going fast the clunking would get so loud I couldnt hear the tv and it felt like one of the arms was gonna fly off   So last night I got Tom to take it apart.  We found a broken bushing, which keeps the center bar (where the two arms connect) from slamming from side to side.  Well since it was broken it wasnt stopping the slamming, hence the noise.  Its an easy fix, just gotta get somewhere to get bushing.  So it might be a few days before we get it back together.  Had to tear the entire damn thing about for a little plastic piece no bigger than a nickel!

So anyway, I guess that is my Monday.  They are normally a struggle and I wouldnt say this one didnt have its moments but I am proud of myself for not giving in to them.  I plan on crashing early tonight and getting a good nights sleep and getting on that bike by 6 in the am!

Have a great one buddies!!
