Happy President’s Day! (Or is it Presidents’ Day? Or Presidents Day? I’m really not sure what the “official” word is on that!)

It’s a beautiful day here in Charlottesville, with temperatures in the low 60’s and sunshine all over the place. I’m quite happy with the warmth today because it means I can get out there and jog this evening! I haven’t been able to since it turned cold again, and I’m too much of a wuss to go brave the elements just yet. I’m looking forward to it. I also plan on walking home after work, so I should actually get a good 4+ miles of moving in today, in addition to whatever I manage to accumulate between walking to the bathroom and the water cooler throughout the day (which won’t be much, stupid sedentary job that makes me work on President’s Day, grumble grumble).

In other positive news, all the angel food cake and whipped cream is out of the apartment now. Of course, how it managed to leave the apartment is another matter… But point being it’s all gone now and I’m actually looking forward to being on plan this week. I just never feel as good when I’m loaded up with sugar. I wonder if I’ll ever get to a point where dessert just doesn’t seem like a good idea anymore from the outset. Hmmm…. probably not…. but one can hope. :)

And in closing, I’ll leave you with a little motivational story: A woman in West Virginia who lost 120 lbs through good, clean eating and exercise! (Imagine that!) She looks amazing and radiantly happy — what a wonderful inspiration!
