I had a random WOW thought enter my head this morning while thinking about all that I had said yesterday in my post. Before now(this winter) I would have bet you MONEY that I had seasonal depression. It happens the same every year. I feel renewed in the Spring, wanting to go around and open every window and door and just let God's good air in....*deep inhale.....* AGHHHHHHH! I start preparing for garden season, summer comes....yuck it's hot.... but still seeing God's beautiful sunlight *SMILE* Fall comes, my favorite season. It's not too hot, not too cold....just pleasant. Then winter hits...close all the windows, pull the curtains closed, and try hard to keep the winter cold out. Along with it, comes GLOOM. Wanting to curl up in a ball and stay there till spring comes again. But NOT this year. I haven't felt like that this year. The only real change in this year and every year in the past is I am actively exercising. I have found that I have more energy, I am keeping my house relatively cleaned on a constant basis( which is NOT me) I am the..."We are having company....CLEAN!!" type person. Otherwise, it would look like a bomb went off most of the time. (EEK confessional time?) I really feel great *most* of the time. That is not my normal. Especially NOT in the middle of winter!! I can certainly get used to this! Another wonderful reason to keep going! Who in their right mind would want to go back to gloomy days and dark nights???? Not me! I didn't go to the gym, this morning, it was too cold to get the kids out. But I am cleaning....actually doing the stuff that you would consider "spring" cleaning, so I am definitely getting some exercise in. I really want to do my devoted fitness today also, we will see how the day goes.

Meals:

Breakfast: Kale and mozzarella egg bake, banana and an orange/ water, coffee

Lunch: not sure that I ate lunch lol....but supper was early.

Supper: Grilled chicken salad from DQ. and I have about 5 fries.....

later I had a couple bites of a chicken chowder soup, and when I got home I had 1 slice of my zucchini bread.

Exercise:

nothing specifically exercise, but I cleaned out our fans that circulate our heat and oh my....my arms are killing me!! (holding the vacuum hose up high for LONG periods of time)
