A christening today, which meant a cooked breakfast with the in-laws followed by a buffet lunch afterwards. No matter - I don't like to turn my nose up and I stayed in control with the buffet - two sandwiches, a sausage and a small handful of crisps.
I won't eat anything else today, and I doubt I have exceeded my calorie goal. I shall just slip straight back into healthy choices tomorrow.
However, I did run. It was horrid today, blustery and rainy. The last thing I felt like was going out in the rain, and I nearly didn't, but all that bread (toast with breakfast and the buffet) had left me lethargic and sluggish. So, I followed the amazing Michelle's advice and let my body take over where my mind was letting me down.
There are good runs and there are bad runs. Today was the latter, but even though my stomach hurt and I was soaked, I was glad I went, enjoying the feeling of running through the wet long grass, the rainbow and shafts of sunlight that made it through the clouds. Even better, the circulation pumping satisfaction afterwards. It was only about 3 miles and only 24 minutes, but the point is - I went.
I reminded myself that I run because I want a strong, healthy body which sees me through my life being able to do the things I want to do.
Wealth...
Today was a no-spend day.
Happiness...
Feeling the love at a christening full of happy couples and gurgling babies | singing 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' in the church - takes me straight back to my primary school days | waking up next to my beautiful little puppydog and hearing her gentle morning snuffles.
