Um...I ate like a happy little piggy that I am...I ate so much they could shove an apple in me and roast me on a spit...

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve and I have saved my calories in my calorie bank for this day.  This is the ultimate treat day.  This is the day I eat with reckless abandon...this is the day I enjoy my first love...AHH...GLORIOUS FOOD!

But I did not forget that today marks the last Recovery Day and come Monday I will face the challenge of Month 2.  I am shaking in me boots...

Today has been manic.  I woke up early to do my workout and I gave it all that I've got.  I think I did well and I was glad this is the last day of the same workout.  I focused my hatred towards a new slacker who's in the back in blue.  Don't know his name but he is one lazy douche.  His knees barely get past his waist and he's just kind of flapping his arms around without any effort.  He should be in the front with Shaun T and be the model of 'what to do if you don't want to get results'.  

After the workout, we went to my neighbor's funeral.  It was sad, it was very sad...as it should be since it's a funeral but I thought it was so depressing the way they laid out her life story and it just seemed so lonely to me.  She had no siblings and her daughter has no siblings.  She lived alone most of her life and they felt the need to include her love for her cat Molly in her eulogy...I looked at Jez and we both just said to each other...I'm so glad I have you in my life...we might argue, we might be the polar opposite but at the end of the day, it's nice to know we have each other to come home to.  Sometimes we really do take that for granted...

It was good for me to attend.  It gave me a closure for the event that took place.  I hope she is peaceful and I hope she was happy with how it ended.

Afterwards we went home and after a bit of A-Bomb's class A separation anxiety episode...we went on our way to our feast.  And oh my god what a feast!  It is so freaking nice to eat without worrying about calories!  I mean, I know I can't do it like this every single day but sometimes, it is so nice to indulge and not to think about, 'this piece of celery is about 50 grams' or 'that tub of hummus is um...200+kcal...'  Sometimes, you just got to live your life!

I don't feel bad because I've worked very hard this month.  I don't treat myself a lot, not even on treat days so today, I didn't care and I shouldn't care and I loved it.  

But now I am home, I am getting mentally ready for my 3rd Fit Test tomorrow. I am excited to see if I've improved.  I really hope I have.  Following Fit Test I have an hour of yoga so I can 'be zen' and 'be with one self' and hum chants till I breathe out butterflies...cuz that is what yogis do...

This mama is tireeeed!  Happy Chinese New Year's!  If you missed your first NY resolution, here's your chance to make a second one and make this one last!
