A couple of things I was thinking about, well missing really. And this could be adding to my mental head space right now?!? Hmmm????
1) Sleeping in on Sunday morning
2) Eating ethnic food, particularly Asian, that I didn't make
3) Fruit...FRUIT...FRUITTTTTTTT!!!!
4) Cooking when I WANT to cook
5) Eating when I WANT to eat
6) Not being on a timed schedule for every single thing - not having to wake up by a certain time so I can get my cardio in and still make it to work kind of on time, not having to finish cooking so I can eat my last meal and get to bed at a decent time, etc.
7) My friends!!!!! Really miss that!! Just hanging and doing whatever
And now for the things I'm gaining/enjoying:
1) Really improved health
2) Improved mental state
3) INCREDIBLE sense of accomplishment
4) Having goals and meeting or exceeding them
5) Finding/creating new healthier recipes
6) AMAZING fitness network through Gina's site
7) Blogging about my experience
8) Making new friends
9) Constantly learning and growing
10) Learning what these words truly mean: dedication, determination, perseverance, focus, growth
Okay, so I see I'm gaining more than I'm missing. So glad I just wrote those down. That helps me a lot! Hmph! Good for me. See? Changing your viewpoint is a very, very good thing. Apparently I do need some time to not only relax but sit back for a minute and take some time to reflect, relish my accomplishments! I've come a long way in a short amount of time and I need to pat myself on the back and enjoy my victories and accomplishments. Ooh, look, Gina's right..."Be in control, own your attitude!" Okay, another lesson learned. Aha, I should do a list of those lessons learned throughout this process. It would be LENGTHY for sure.
Here's wishing you all a fine Friday and so glad I have this place to set things straight in my head. Thanks for reading and to those of you that comment, for commenting as well!

Where have your friends gone to?? Let me talk to them!!!! ;)
Its normal to miss all that but know that it is only temporary, for your prep. You'll have fruits after... Will you sleep after? Not sure ;) But you know what I am saying. And if the friends are gone... I hate to say it... but they're gone!!!!
Happy Friday to you Sista and a very good week end xxxx
Ooh, I should rephrase that. I miss hanging out with my friends. You know, just hanging with no plans really. Wanna go to a movie? Sure. Wanna come over for dinner? Sure. You know what I mean. And I'm a big phone person and I haven't even had time to talk to my friends on the phone as much. That's what I mean.
And, yes, I know it's only temporary. Today I feel better - may have to do with it being a weekend. I get to meet Nikee, Jenn, and Katrina today!! Woohoo! Should be fun. Oh, and get to see Gina!!
Have a great weekend and thanks for your kind words and support. You're the best!
xoxo
