Today Was a Productive Day!

To my surprise today turned out to be a productive day. I'm still working on minimizing the number of times I hit my snooze button, but I did manage to get up today and throw on my gym wear. Things were off to a good start until I actually made it to the gym, swiped my access key and the doors wouldn't open. Turns out the door was malfunctioning and wouldn't unlock, so I got a tad bit discouraged. I didn't want to wait 20 minutes of the front office to open up, but at the same time I wanted to get some kind of workout in since I woke up early to do so. So though I was disappointed I turned around, got in the car and came back to my place and popped in the Biggest Loser workout DVD- lets just say I'm soo out of shape! But I did get in a workout!

The rest of the day I spent with my friends studying for the NCE. It felt good to actually get started on the preparation even though my test date hasn't been set yet. And on top of that, I started using the calorie counting tool that allows me to manage a food diary and counts my calorie intake. I managed to stay under my set caloric intake value, so I'm super stoked about that!

Though I got a lot done today, I still have that desire to get back to building my bath and body line and cranking out some new clutches. I still have to figure out how I can incorporate that my day, but I have faith that I will find a way! You know the saying, where there's a will, there's a way!

Here's to hoping that tomorrow is just as productive!
