30s Are Scary

Had to have emergency root canal yesterday. This is how this morning is going

Potato leek soup

Zucchini spaghetti and meat balls!

Cinnamon roll coffee cake and a cinnamon latte. ❤️ cause some mornings it storms, you can't sleep and baking has to get done.

Sometimes you need a cookie and got chocolate, to watch the rain go by

Favorite snack! Pineapple kale banana spinach bar!

I ate well today, stayed in calorie goal; but did not work out. Having chronic pain really blows. My body just wouldn't do anything. Tomorrow I've sat up my food and I am gonna try again Friday to go to water aerobics class.

Relaxing, working on my rug with peppermint tea.

Ive struggled with starting and stopping forever, it seems like. I really have developed the ability to say no, and realize that cookie just isn't worth it. Or in my case usually, that Taco Bell burrito isn't worth it; worry Bell. I stayed on track today, I even hit the gym, I weighed in again after 2 weeks and have a 5lb difference. I met some. I've people today at class and am excited about going back Wednesday. It makes my body hurt, but it doesn't feel like exercising, it's fun. I feel good about this, genuinely good, like lifestyle change good.
