Hit a new low this morning... on the scale, that is!  Ha ha.  Dinner last night was great - Erin is a picky eater, so everything was very simply prepared (read: easy to figure out what I was eating), AND she's at least respectful that we're trying to eat better (well, so is she, at that) so it was a wonderful diet-friendly dinner-with-friends :)  That's a huge step up from last week.

So, after seeing the exciting number on the scale, I pounced on my hubby, and we had a little "pre-exercise" exercise ;)  After which I figured out what I wanted today's motivation to be:

Better education.  Ha!  Thought I was going to go for the obvious, eh?  Well, the feeling sexy is nice, but what was more exciting to me was the keen education I've been getting - and able to give - on eating healthier.  I'm not usually the type to preach (although I do probably correct people a little too often when they say something misleading about health/nutrition), but I enjoyed having a conversation last night about trying to eat better, and the feeling of camraderie, which just spurred my desire to learn more about making my body better :)  Too fun.  And then I get excited, because if I truly commit and internalize all this, I get to pass on healthy habits to my future kids. One would hope, then, that they can avoid the struggle that I've gone through over this :)
