Busy Great Day

This morning started off bright and early with a walk on the beach and then some fresh fruit for breakfast. Showered and then went to pilates or these days Portuguese class, grabbing a coconut water on the way home. The coco guy knows me know and gets my drink order ready for me when he sees me walking his way. So nice to have people who recognize you :) I worked out insurance information which is a whole post on it's own and then finished the book I was reading. I even started some of my CEU's, continuing education units, to keep my nursing license up to date which is also another post entirely. After lunch I continued to finish up the last couple loads of laundry from when we got home from the states then ushered some workers into the house to access all the leaking going on. Got the number for a pool guy and then weeded the garden by the pool. Set out emails and made lists of new things to do this week :) Sorry for the play by play but I am really happy with today.

Most of the time things can always be put off until tomorrow. I guess that's the main thing wrong with not having a job. The perpetuation of allowing oneself to procrastinate. This week I plan to turn things around and I started making a list of things, even as simple as making a phone call, to get something accomplished each day. I am already feeling empowered by this simple task. 

I have noticed, as I enter my last week of the 1st trimester, that I have at little more energy. Now only if food would start to sound good. I get hungry but nothing sounds good so I have to end up forcing myself to eat. It wouldn't be uncommon for two of my meals to be milk and cereal because I can tolerate it. I just wish for the days when I actually crave something. For now I feel like each meal is a challenge. Even when something does taste good I get so full so fast that it makes the meal hard to enjoy. If I eat continuously throughout the day it seems to work a little better for me. A banana hear, some cottage cheese, a spoonful of peanut butter, and maybe a roll with butter help me over the hunger. 

I know I said I would post pictures so here they are... I know I am terrible for not getting more of the two of us. Caution: These pictures may cause envy :)

Well that was our romantic getaway. Needless to say that I forgot to take any photos of the two of us while we visited this paradise. While our room cost a pretty penny for those of you who come and visit us we will be staying here.... trust me it's not as expensive as it looks! Ahhh paradise. 

Hope everyone is having a great start to the week.

Tchau,
