The chick in the tae bo videos is kinda scary...

Today is Saturday and I woke up feeling energized and rested for the first time in months! Not to mention, Daisy let me sleep in until 9am!  I probably haven't felt that since before I had pneumonia and that felt like a long time ago.  I slept good and today is the first day that my lungs aren't achy and gross.  (It's a wierd thing to say, describing how your lungs actually FEEL..)  I decided to take advantage of my comcast on demand Fitness channel and excersize this morning before I did anything else.  I didn't know what I could do because I'm so out of shape and I don't know how to do pilates, I don't know what or where my core is...so I decided on one that I have done in the past.  Tae Bo...yes, the fabled Billy Blanks is still at it perfecting his chi and strengthening his core (there's that dang core thing again!!  I'm thinking of an apple core here...) I was pleased to see that his clothes aren't as tight as they used to be and he actually had a loose fitting t shirt on, not the spandex tank top that half way thru the work out his left nip always popped out of his tank! I swear it did and it was gross and it always used to bug me!! Anyways--back to the current work out, I even noticed he wasn't as buff as he used to be...He was explaining somewhere during the leg lunges and the (double time!!) punches that he was doing it all wrong a few years ago, and he is working out differently.   Whatev.  So, I'm doing my best to keep up with him and his crew and I see that to his left there is this chick screaming and yelling , "HUH" and "YES SIR" after he finishes a sentence...It got a little annoying and she was kind of scary.  I guess I wasn't as into it as she was...So, 25 mins later I cooling down with Billy (no nip this time, mind you!!) and I too felt a sense of accomplishment.  I felt like I did it again!  I chose to do the right decision and make a better life for myself.  I then downed a ton of water and had a healthy breakfast.  I'm feeling better about myself eventhough I cannot see the difference yet, I feel it on the inside. Maybe that is what my core is...I still don't know.  I got ready for the day, had a good hair and make up day too!  The sun is shining and I'm feeling good.  

I then went to my mom's house and made 4 of the most wonderful, delicious, amazing, almost sinful you think you are cheating on your husband apple pies..  They have this awesome crumbly topping with butter, flour, brown sugar and oatmeal...oh and pecans and caramel sauce that you dribble on the top..need I say more?  It's my hubby's birthday and we are going to have 14 people over in our little duplex to celebrate him  (and these pies!) so we should have fun.  I feel like I have enough strength to say that I can have a small slice of pie if I want to.  I don't have to have a huge slice and I don't think I have to watch everyone else moan and enjoy the pie and I am stuck in this diet bubble...I will do good and I am looking forward to enjoying every second, every tongue tickling morsel of my lil' piece of pie tonight...in moderation...of course!
