One week left until our beach vacation! Time to really get down to business. I’ve been eating pretty clean–even over the 4th holiday (probably too many ribs, though). But I’m going to cut down on the animal fat the next few days and will watch my sodium (those darn pickles). I could stand to do some exercise, too, since I haven’t in about a week.
I can’t afford to give myself the reward for the first goal, but I’m still working toward the next one. When I have the money, I will. I’m learning to live without a car since mine is in the shop. I could get depressed over money troubles and car probs, but it will do no good. I’ve also had a lot of friends go through crazy stuff that seems to find its way to me–as if I didn’t have enough stress already!
Things happen and, no matter how bad things get, they are sure to change.
The best thing to do is focus on what I can do. Take care of my house, my plants, my family, eat right, stay positive, etc. The only thing we really have control over is our reaction to everything, right? This is so very true.
Here’s to finding the fun, searching out the blessings, and framing the positive! 
ETA: ran/walked 24 min. 50 crunches, 10 x2 lunges, 20 plies, 20 pushups
