Last night Littles and I made some more Chocolate Protein Bars. She calls them "cake" and if those are my child's association with what cake is, I am perfectly happy.
So, as soon as I pulled out the mixer she started hollering "cake, cake, cake."
I let her "help" dump ingredients into the mixer and she was so excited that she was helping. The wonderment of children and the little things they find fascinating is amazing.
Unfortunately, our night went downhill from there. The microwave broke (FAIL!!). And, since Littles is getting some new teeth, she was up most the night. Which meant I was up most the night.
Since I was up most the night, I got up late and was running late for work this morning. And, since I was running late the car needed gas (of course) and the gas pump was broken and going painfully slow (double fail!!).
All of these things are, of course, minor annoyances. But, I somehow make them into a big stressful deal in my head. In the past, stress = eating. So, I am trying to be very cognizant of my eating today and not let stress get to me. I'll take it out on a workout instead.
On a good note, it's Day 10. I have made it through all the prescribed workouts...and I feel sore, but great.
Hubs actually said he could already see a difference last night. I think, maybe, he was just being nice (since I don't see any change yet). But, he gets props for the effort.
So, today's lesson is: Let the little things be little things. Focus on the big things, the important things, the long term goals. We don't get anywhere wallowing in the annoying minutia.
Hope everyone has a great day!!
