Day off and i was sad about it... am i crazy!?!?!?

So today  was my day off from the gym take 2! I was doing all kinds of things just to stay busy. I planted a flower bed and mulched it. I took my yard swing apart and cleaned it the painted it chocolate brown. Wow! what a difference a can or 2 of spray paint can make!!! I also painted the little side table that holds a pretty potted plant, so happy i did it looks great now. still not being ready to go inside i grabbed my potted plants and painted the pots!!! no i really am not nuts i promise. I just wanted to infuse some color into the yard. the pots turned out really cute. i did brown on the edges around the tops and then a bright blue on the base of a couple. i did one with polka dots too :) could be my favorite!

I did pretty good with my diet today. nothing crazy. i had a wonderful veggie and egg white omlett and 2 cups of coffee for brunch ( because i slept in , whoo hoo !!!) some homemade salsa with whole grain chips for a snack and then for dinner a yummy chicken breast off the grill, corn on the cob, small portion of mac and cheese and then a bit of oven roasted squash, mushroom caps and potatoes!! They were delicious!! I found these delicious little Yoplait frozen yogurt bites and had two for a treat, at 30 calories each they were perfect and just the little bit of sweetness that i needed!!

So tomorrow is day 3 of my off day for week 2. But as usual I wont be fully off. Now I did forgo my run that I had planned for today, but tomorrow I teach a 30 min Pilates class and i will be taking that much needed run!! While my little one is taking his Plyometrics class for Kids, I will take the time and hit at least a couple miles outside, and finish off with 15 min on that damn Stair Master.  I have seen far to many pictures of great butts from that machine!! mine will be back there soon too!! 

So my question for tonight is do you have a motivation board? pictures that motivate you, words that push you, a little black dress or a swimsuit you are determined to fit perfectly into??  I have found that I really enjoy this idea. it makes me aware and reminds me why I want to push a little harder at the gym or in that run makes me remember why I am not drinking that soda or eating that ice cream.
