Magical Sun

I don't know what it is about the sun that makes it so awesome. There has to be some kind of magical property in it. Like happiness and contentment just beam down in its rays. I don't know how it can simultaneously make a line dried comforter smell like the best thing I've ever smelled and also make my heart so happy just to have it touching my skin.

Today was another GORGEOUS day in the pool. Its hot here, no doubt, but there isn't much that can beat spending a day hanging out in the pool. I got up this morning, had my coffee while watching all my DVR'd shows. Then I met a girlfriend for yoga. It is so nice to have a workout that feels so good on both your body and your mind. After yoga, Joe and I hit the pool and spent the day just floating around.

We've decided that Sundays are our pool days for the rest of the summer. We agreed to work really hard on Saturdays and get all of our chores done so that Sunday can be for just relaxation. We cook out on the grill and listen to music and talk about all of the things we'd like to do to our yard. The dogs come out and swim with us and run around on the pool deck too. It's a whole family play day and a nice way to recharge before starting another work week.

Hopefully this week will be better than last. After my big "yay me" diet blog, I came down with a cold. Sore throat, stuffy/achy head, and an overall yucky feeling. I never realized how much of an emotional eater I was until the only thing I could think of to make myself feel better was food. And only comfort food. I craved ice cream and pizza and Mexican food and cake. Just anything to make me not feel sick. But, I'm proud to say that I didn't break. I stuck to the diet even though it was the last thing I wanted to do. I did fall off the exercise though. I skipped three days last week because I just couldn't muster the energy. But I'm ready to get back in the gym tomorrow.

I guess that's it for now. I'm going to try to enjoy the rest of the day before it's back to alarm clocks and high heels. I hope you all have a great week!
