It was a pretty good day. No work, so I just got to relax a bit and get some things done without constantly looking at the clock to see how soon I needed to leave for work.
Went running this morning. I wasn't really in the mood to go, but once I got started I felt really good. My energy was really high today, which was awesome. It has been touch and go lately, especially when I go in the mornings because I've only had juice and no actual food. So it felt good to have so much energy today. Also did my weight and ab exercises.
Breakfast: Romaine and carrot juice. Lunch: Salad with tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and lemon juice, and a sweet potato. Dinner: Same salad as lunch (I can't get enough of the sun-dried tomatoes! Best salad ingredient ever!), baked salmon, and sauteed zucchini and squash. Snacks: Raw carrot juice and sweet potato soup, carrots, and dark chocolate.
Did a little bit of Christmas shopping today and it FINALLY started to feel a little like Christmas. I work in a mall, and yet I still haven't felt that Christmas "buzz" I usually feel around this time. I love that feeling of being out shopping for gifts and knowing that everyone around you is doing the same thing. It just hasn't seemed like that much this year...but I felt it a little bit today. Hopefully I'll feel more of that once I get home. :) I was wrapping some presents tonight and listening to a Christmas mix on Pandora radio. Frank Sinatra's version of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas came on and it almost made me cry! It's such a sad song anyway, but being here alone wrapping my presents made it even sadder. And I just imagined how I would feel if I wasn't able to go home for Christmas, or worse, if I didn't have family to go home to. I felt like Sandra Bullock when she's decorating her Christmas tree alone in While You Were Sleeping. Sad! I'm so thankful to have such a great family to spend the holidays with. :)
Alright, that's about it. Work in the morning...going to force myself to get up and go workout beforehand so I can enjoy the rest of my evening. A great quote I read in a magazine today - "I've never regretted a workout. I've regretted not working out plenty of times!" So true! haha.
Good night!
