Awesome start to the day

I brought an AWESOME lunch today: ratatouille, topped with monterey jack cheese, homemade fresh peach pie (oatmeal topping!), beets and onions, oven-roasted in balsamic vinegar and a little bit of butter, and a dessert made of plain yogurt mixed with pumpkin and a dollop of maple syrup. Sorry I didn't have time to take a picture and post it before leaving this morning, but trust me: it's pretty, healthy and delicious.

Delia got up this morning and kept me company as I was getting ready for work, which was nice. She's trying to shift her circadium rhythms because next week she's got to get up early enough to catch a bus that arrives at 7:00 a.m. Ouch.

My bike ride this morning was really enjoyable. Perfect weather. No wind, clear skies. Lots of frisking squirrels sighted. Listened to Entrain's "Can U Get It" which would make anybody want to get up and dance. And I had put a splash of Kahlua in my homemade coffee slush. Yum.

What's making you happy today?

Ow.

Consider my last half week:

Brown belt test, advanced division
Continuing with 100 pushups challenge
Sparring
Biking to and from work
Spin kicks practice at karate tonight, and yes, as it ALWAYS does, the tornado kick wrenched my inner groin muscles
continue (fruitlessly) trying to stretch out my super tight hamstring muscles

It is no wonder that if Rob didn't have to have the car tomorrow to take the girls to the orthodontist, I would be driving to work. Because, damn, I hurt all over. And tomorrow I'm expecting girly cramps. I've sure been putting my body through a lot lately. I think it's trying to tell me that really, enough is enough.
