I got up this morning and made pancakes for the kids. I only had one and it was a normal size pancake. Normally, I could eat two or three pancakes and I actually had the good sense to only eat one! Unbelieveable! It's a great start to the day to when I can pass up a second homemade chocolate chip pancake! THEN I went to the gym and did 20 minutes of weight training followed by 20 minutes on the recumbant bike. And I wanted to quit biking after ten minutes and a good song came on CMT so I figured I'd ride through it. Well, then there was only about five minutes left and the next song was a good one by Rascal Flats so I rode through that one too. Of course, then there was commercials so the last two minutes were pure hell. BUT I MADE IT! I was drenched in sweat but I did it! Even the tops of my hands were sweating. For me 20 minutes is a really really long time. I am so proud of myself. I was so energized that when I got home I cleaned out the van, vaccuming it even and then tackled the kitchen!

YEAH ME!!
