Oh, it is sooooooo nice to have sunshine today! The weather bothered me so bad yesterday that I called a friend at 10:30 to see if she wanted to go out to lunch. Ugh. I just couldn't bring myself to be at home. Today, however, is a different day. I can even tell a difference in my body. Yesterday I just didn't feel quite right all day. Today, however, in spite of only 4 hours sleep (did I mention that Steve is out of town and I don't sleep well when he's gone?) I woke up and wanted to get to work around the house right away! I feel so much better. I love the sunshine : )

I was able to exercise outdoors today. yay! As much as I didn't want to exercise yesterday, I mustered up the energy to do it. The thing that has saved me several times in the past couple weeks is on Tuesdays and Thursdays the cardio is only 20 minutes long. I can certainly do that! And I always feel better when I do.

I did cardio and resistance today. Here is what it looked like:
