So much fun today! First, I went to a rock climbing center with some friends. I can tell you that my arms will be dead tomorrow. For sure! I've done rock climbing before but I didn't remember it to be this hard. I walked in to the gym and was confident that I could make it to the top. I told my friends we can leave until everyone has reached the top. Little did I know that I would be the last one to get up to the top. I eventually made it! I'm so thankful for my friends who cheered me on as I went up. I don't know if I would have been able to do it without them. It was just another example of what having someone to workout with can do for you. It really pushes you to do your best! It was an awesome feeling. Reaching the top that is, climbing not so much...
Then we went to Bread Co. for lunch. We got a lot of walking in. Every once in awhile I wanted to break out in high knees. I managed to keep my lunch really healthy. I had a salad and a turkey sandwich. It was cold and fresh which was good because of the heat (seriously can it get any hotter?). It was really great! Eating a healthy meal is a lot more satisfying than an unhealthy meal. Yeah, sweets are good when you eat them, but when I eat healthy, I feel really good about myself afterwards. I had a lot of energy today, and it felt good!
After Bread Co., we just explored the city. We found and returned a wallet, and then 20 minutes later, we paid attention to our environments, spotted a man lying on the ground, and called someone about it. I felt happy! Not so much about the man lying unconscious on the ground, but that we helped him out. It turned out to be a minor problem, but still, it gave me a good feeling! If you ever have the chance to help someone, help them. You don't know if they could be in serious trouble, and you'll get a good feeling afterwards, knowing that you did something to make a difference.

Yeah, THIS is healthy...
SO GREAT!!!

Today, I learned that you don't always have to eat green stuff and typical "health nut" food. It can taste good, too. Frozen yogurt? Yeah, that's a low calorie snack! FroYo has some really good frozen yogurt. I put a lot of fruit on my yogurt. It didn't exactly feel healthy, like I was cheating. But it is! It's healthy, and it's great!
Quote of the post...hmmmm, how about this one. "True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value." -Benjamin Johnson. My friends kept me motivated today, in the gym and with healthy eating. I love them for it! It showed me how important it is to not just push yourself, but to not be ashamed that you have to lean on someone for help and motivation.
