Last night, Mal and I had a little heart-to-heart chat. In the nicest way possible, my husband basically told me that I’ve been a miserable person lately. And, to tell you the truth, he was totally right!

Mal made me realize that I have been pretty negative lately, and I have NO real reason to feel and act this way. Poor Mal has been dealing with my down-in-the-dumps attitude for much too long. Last night he helped me see all of the wonderful things that are happening in my life right now: I have a loving husband, family, and friends, 3 jobs that I enjoy, the cutest pug in the whole wide world… so, what’s my problem?!? I don’t know if it’s a case of the “grass is always greener” or what, but I need to snap out of it ASAP!

So, I’ve decided to focus my attention away from the “bad” and take more time to appreciate all of the good in my life. One way to do this is to note it on my blog from time to time. CNC is basically my personal (yet very public) journal, so recording these realizations will definitely benefit me and likely improve my outlook.

I really hate being so negative! I’m glad that my husband doesn’t “sugar-coat” anything! He keeps it real! 😉

Ok, enough with the “serious” stuff! Onto breakfast! 😀

Breakfast

This morning, I mashed up a banana and peanut butter in a small bowl and then spread it inside a whole wheat pita. I then cut the pita into more manageable (and fun!) triangles pieces.

With my breakfast pita, I drank iced coffee with chocolate soy milk– no agave nectar needed this morning!

On my commute into work, I impulsively stopped at D&D for another iced coffee. I probably didn’t need a second one, but it is quite delicious! 😀

Workout

I didn’t make it to Healthworks this morning, but I did manage to exercise before work. Our friends (who we are staying with) live about a mile from our apartment, so I jogged to the gym, lifted for about 20 minutes, and jogged home (approximately 2 miles).

At the gym, I did 2 sets of the strength training workout below:

  • Dumbbell Chest Press
  • Dumbbell Chest Flies
  • Triceps Dips
  • Triceps Kick-Backs
  • Lateral Shoulder Raises
  • 50 Crunches on Decline

Update to “So, You Want to Start a Blog?” Post

I added a tip about utilizing social media to market your blog. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it yesterday! Social media is super-duper important to getting your name out there! Make sure you use it!

Question of the Day

What are you grateful for?
