I drove a friend and their car home last night after the party. An added bonus of this was keeping and driving their car today, in order to retrieve mine. I really enjoy driving small cars because it wasn't too long ago when fitting in a small convertible BMW wouldn't have been an option. Today, I fit into that ultimate driving machine just fine. I got into it, too. The weather was absolutely perfect for putting the top down, the sunglasses on and driving an incredible vehicle. I didn't want to take it back!
I made this a relaxed day. I didn't do too much at all. A day like that is essential every once in a while, don't you think? It felt good, that's for sure!
I dined out for lunch at a place I was familiar with except they've completely revamped their menu, so I wasn't familiar anymore. I opted for one of the few things on the menu I felt okay about. I'll say this--I truly prefer cooking my own meals. At the risk of coming off like a braggart, I prepare more appealing meals at home than most of my meals out. It wasn't always this way. I take special care and pride in preparing my meals. The tracking in MFP and accountability Tweets have encouraged me to eat well and better. I feel like I'm doing that in what has become a pretty solid set of habits.
Headed to bed now, after a good 3.44 mile walk. I normally don't necessarily Live-Tweet my walks--but I did tonight, sharing pictures along the way. Those tweets are below. I'm ready for a great week. I hope you are, too!

Thank you for reading and your continued support,
Strength,
Sean
I can so imagine you in that car .... Wonder what you were lip syncing too lol
ReplyDeleteI'm a big scaredy cat so I wouldn't enjoy walking that 5 km in that darkness
It was good to see a pic of the building you started walking around back in the day
Than you, TR! I was rocking out, for sure!
DeleteThe darkness around that trail has improved with the new light poles. I agree-- I have pulled up, got out- noticed people hanging around who obviously were not there to exercise---got a weird gut feeling--and left. It's better to be safe!
It didn't seem to bother me too much last night--with the new lights and added police patrols.
I'll never forget that first walk around that building. I really thought I was going to collapse.
It might be your consistency that I am admiring most right now. There's a lot to be said for getting it done, day after day. Sounded like another good one.
ReplyDeleteSilas, thank you. I've found a groove that works best for me. One day at a time!
DeleteIt was a great day!
You are doing so great Sean. I am recommitting today to get my food plan back on track. Today is my day one. You inspire so many including me to never give up.
ReplyDeleteNever give up, LTT! I'm excited for you! Day 1...Let's do this!
DeleteNot only are your own prepared meals yummier, but they look wonderful... You should be a food stylist!!!
ReplyDeleteNicole, thank you! A food stylist, you say? Hmmm... googling that right now. :) You're awesome, Nicole.
