I Feel Great

My diet and exercise routine is going great. I've been going to the gym pretty frequently and eating right. I had a couple carb-obsessed days (agan, good carbs such as whole wheat pastas and grains are good) but I was going a little overboard on all the wrong stuff. But luckily, I was able to get myself back on track.

I had a special birthday yesterday and all bets were off as I celebrated in culinary style throughout the day. But I'm not feeling bad about it. I refuse to let myself.

Yesterday was such a special day. I felt surrounded by such love as birthday wishes cam to me through all mediums - in person, over email, on the phone. I told my husband that I was so taken aback (in a good way) by all the good wishes. And he reminded me (as he does multiple times a day) that I'm a wonderful person and that I deserve every bit of it.

Sometimes, I'm my worst critic, but as I enter a new decade, I'm really going to try to embrace the idea that I AM a good person. I treat people with love and respect, and I deserve nothing less in return. And the same goes for every one of you. You deserve nothing less as well. Always remember that.
