Day 4 - The road to heaven is filled with . . . .

Actually the road to heaven is filled with good intentions. True or not, I really can't tell, but case in point,

  • I wake up early to prepare for the gym only to be told that PTs scheduled a meeting this morning.
  • I get to work early to have a list of things that needs to get done. Get it all done only to find out the person on the receiving end is out of the office
  • Wanting to go to yoga, I tried leaving early but c can back just when I was leaving. So I stayed until dinner time and ate too much
  • We went to lunch early so we can get a good table and we did but half an hour into lunch, we get crowd by a large table.
  • I was disappointed because one good restaurant closed down only to find that it moved down the street.
I get there are examples of irony.

My gratefuls for today:

Day 2 -

I'd been workout with a PT since March, so its been three months and I lost 2 kilos. It doesn't seem like much but my body shape is more tone and fit. I had a New Years resolution to lose 10 kilos, so I have 8 kilos to go.

My gratefuls for today:
  • I had a good workout today even though I felt sluggish
  • Had a nice bowl of tofu and ginger soup, one of my favorite snacks

Tomorrow is another day. Let's make it a great day.
