First Day of Summer

I've decided that I am going to utilize a scale to note my progress. Not a weight scale, but a number range (1-10) that will represent my efforts and achievements in obtaining my goals. Many times, I set out with my goals and am left feeling like I am not making progress. I am hoping that by utilizing my scale, I will feel that I am daily "wins".

So, here it is:
nutrition:
energy:
sleep:
water:
workout:

It is incredibly important to me to feel that I am making progress. Otherwise, I am one to jump ship and look for something better. I know that my mistake often comes in the form of impatience and not allowing something time to work. I have learned from my many coaches in life that MASTERY takes time.

Matt and I had a great tri/bi/shoulder workout yesterday. He was feeling a bit 'off' yesterday when we met up, so we sat and talked for a while. He shared that he wanted to do so much yesterday, but ended up feeling so unproductive. I knew that his thinking was zapping his energy. How do I know...I do it myself, very well! My remedy for when I feel like this is to get into action. Movement changes your energy and I knew that if we went to the gym and worked hard, he would get out of his funk. I was right. Mid-way through the workout, I could tell that he was different. I asked how he was feeling and he said, "Much better."

So, during our workout, I noticed how attracted I am to him when he is working out. I find myself "checking him out". It is so funny. I make sure that I let him know how good he looks. I also have stolen a few kisses from him between sets.

After our workout, I prepared our dinner: chicken fajitas, black bean and cheese baked taquitos, chimichurri rice, and fresh tortillas. We were so hungry by the time we ate. I kept my portion small and my plate half empty. We did enjoy some dessert and a movie before bed.

I slept pretty well last night, but I was extra tired once I got to the office. I have 4 more hours before departure. I am looking forward to it.

Today is the official first day of summer (and longest say) of 2007. I love summer time. I hope that I can achieve more of my summer time body before Labor Day!
