What a difference a couple of good days on the wagon will do for the soul.<\/p>\n

And what a good feeling to unload (on the blog) the things that bugged me. I feel lighter already!<\/p>\n

I had a really good day on my healthy food choices yesterday. And I’m on my way to having another really good day today.<\/p>\n

So the hubs asked me out on a lunch date today. It made my day! I loved our conversation too. We visited and reminisced back to when we first met. Makes me smile to think about our journey and how it has brought us to where we are today\u2026<\/p>\n

Before our lunch date, I had an idea that if I commit to take a picture of my lunch and post, that it could help me stay on the good health wagon when dining out.<\/p>\n

So I did – I had turkey chili with an apple. Then I declared (to the hubs) “this bowl is my \u00a0favorite item on the Panera Bread menu.”<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how long I’ll keep up the posting of what I eat when we dine out. But for the next month, I believe this is going to be a good way to keep those goals in check.<\/p>\n

I’m thankful for bootstraps, lunch dates, great conversations and for keeping the scissors out of my hair another day.<\/p>\n

Cheers to pulling myself up by the bootstraps.<\/p>\n
