Today was a strange day.  I can't put my finger on why I felt it was strange.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened.  Everyone is fine.  I just feel a little off, emotionally.  I don't think it has anything to do with the cleanse.  I am feeling a little overwhelmed with things piling up.  And although I am working on practicing some of the helpful tips I have been reading about in my personal development books, I didn't really accomplish as much as I should have today.  I need to get back to my A-list (those of you who have read Eat The Frog will know what I'm talking about).  Basically it means I need to focus on the super important things first, then the somewhat important things, and let the little things go because I will never get caught up no matter how good my intentions are.  Bottom line, I just waste too much time.

Day 8 and I am still trying to wrap my brain around Insanity.  I think I thought of every excuse in the book as to why I did not want to work out.  I blew it off during the girls' nap time today.  But, when Josh got home, I sucked it up and went downstairs to workout.  Yes it was hard...really hard...but I did it.  And I always feel so proud of myself for pushing through when I'm done.  You'd think I might remember that feeling beforehand and be more excited to jump right in instead of procrastinating half the day.
Ah well...it's done, I feel good, away I go...
