Organization Is Key.

I'm bound to run last minute in the mornings, so planning ahead is what keeps me on track. Every evening as I'm preparing dinner for myself, I also pack my lunch for the following day. I'm in the kitchen anyways, and it takes 5 minutes if I just suck it up and get it done with. Would my lunch be as healthy if I packed it the following morning as I was rushing to catch the bus? Probably not. It'd most likely be the quickest option I had. Healthy or not. Tonight I even figured, why not give myself two minutes more sleep in the morning and have my cereal measured out, in the bowl (with saran wrap covering it to keep it fresh), sitting on the counter. Seriously now all I need to do is pour the milk and eat up! How can you not eat healthy if all the work is already done?

Tonight I had a great workout at Val's. I did the elliptical, on level 7, for 45 minutes. I followed it up with 5 minutes of stretching. I'm now quite energized, but am still hoping to be tired enough to get to bed early tonight! Also, it deserves to be mentioned on here that Brian did in fact get his orange belt in jiu jitsu this evening. I'm a proud girlfriend; way to go babe!
