Notes: Though I got 10 hours of sleep last night, I feel tired and groggy. Think I am battling a tiny cold. Boo!! Because of this I forced myself to have a healthy lunch. Thwarted by a longer day than expected at work, I was caught empty-handed, I didn't pack a lunch! I decided to take the time to walk up to Milk and Honey cafe, where I had to discipline myself against the delicious sandwich options. I feel good about my lunch choices! I could have easily caved in and eaten some cheesy, bacony goodness but I stayed strong. Danielle and I went to the gym tonight just to walk a little and use MY NEW FAVORITE THING EVER the steam room! Whoa. So awesome. My asthma acts up in the winter, and since i have been run down, this was a perfect antidote. Nothing beats breathing in that room, my lungs were in heaven!
