How to turn a bad day into a good one!


Started out my day with blueberry banana protein pancake! Absolutely yummo!

For some reason I started drinking my water a little later than usual. And then it happened, I found some chips, spicy chips. And I grabbed more than a couple of handfuls :(

Totally mad at myself I decided if I didn't want this day to go totally down the toilet it was time to give myself a kick in the ass!

So I grabbed a huge glass and filled it with water and started chugging. I got changed into my workout clothes. I hummed and hawed about what I was going to do. And then I grabbed my mp3, my heart rate monitor, and my camera and off I went.

I ended up going on a 55 minute walk/run (about 95% walking) and loved it. I'm now home and still looking like a boiled lobster but I couldn't be happier!!

I was even stopped by this twosome who were worried I was getting bitten to death by the mosquitoes! Nope I remembered my off before I went :)

A very cold shower cooled me down and now I'm going to relax for awhile.

All in all I'm pretty happy with my day so far!

How is your day going?? Have you been chuggin the water? So far I'm down 6 cups

I love it! You took a not so pleasant situation and turned around to benefit you. I wish everyone did this instead of letting one negative thing ruin the entire day!

Good for you on the walk. I am headed home for a 30 min swim and then 30 min of kettle ball. It is to hot here to walk outside. It was over 100 degress here today. Love the pics..

I have tried to drink more water these last few days. 107 and Hot, Hot, Hot!
I love your will and gust of life. Your photos are always breath taking as if we are right there with you. Thank you for always allowing us to come on your walk/run.

When I see your pancakes I always wish that I could eat them without wanting to eat 10 of them. Maybe someday I can add stuff like that back. *sigh*

I've been doing really well with the water intake. The hot weather is helping with that! :D

Glad to see you saved yourself from going down the toilet. That would hurt! lol

I turned my day around, too.
I just knew it had to be done.
Then I went to find the cause.
So I could solve for it!
Once I understood, I was much better!
Doggies and long walks don't hurt, either!

Way to nip the chips in the butt!! Looks like a beautiful place to walk. What's with all the mosquitos so early this year?! We were getting attacked on our deck the other night too :(
