Day 9 of the dress diet

Today was a pretty good day.  SO much better than yesterday.  I got up fairly early and I think that helped.  I went to Target before it got busy.  I tried out a new church that I really liked.  I'll go back next week for sure.  I did a ton of "chores"...2 loads of laundry, dishes, cooked food, took out the trash, put away "fall" decorations, and put up my very limited this year Christmas decorations...4 items total.  I just don't really feel it this year.  I finally decided to try and "joyfully" listen to some Christmas music today and that actually happened.  I wasn't so bitter.  It felt good.  I tried a "festive" drink...chocolate mint coconut milk!  So good.  100 calories in a cup.  I rowed 5000m.  I'm trying to get the Holiday Challenge pin again this year, I guess.  I've rowed 70,000m towards the 200,000m that I need to complete before I leave for the wedding.  I can do it but it's a lot of rowing.  We'll see.  I'm anticipating that tomorrow is going to suck on some levels because I have to deal with all these cheating kids, their counselors, and their parents.  I'm trying to mentally prepare for that now.  Woohoo and oh joy!
