Today I was called into a meeting and GIVEN two weeks' notice. Which actually turns out to be a week and a half... nothing like a little extra motivation to find a new job!

Day 22 - Exercise
I HAVE DISCOVERED MY MOTIVATION. (And it will probably be obvious to everyone here.)
I haven't been able to make myself exercise consistently for my health, for my wardrobe, or even at the direction of John Tesh (the ERGWK). I haven't done it despite the needling of family members (love you guys!) or in the face of rising gas prices. I won't exercise even though it will increase my core strength and improve my energy and the quality of my sleep. There are all kinds of other logical reasons to exercise, and I haven't done it for any of them.
I will, however, exercise for pastry.
This morning I took off on a round-trip 3-mile walk/jog, the pivotal destination being a grocery store that carries German Chocolate danishes. (Coconut + caramel + chocolate frosting in butter pastry = superYUM.) I came home with only one of them, having developed at least a teensy modicum of self-control - AND my impulse purchase of the day was a small Chef's Salad!
Some people "do it for love", I do it for carbs.

Please go browse through this blog for some wonderful pictures of Utah's fall foliage - we are having some lovely days of autumn-blue skies and crisp fresh air. My sister-in-law also has some beautiful pictures that she's taken up on her blog, but it's private so I'll see if she'll let me re-post some of them here. I hope you're all enjoying the season!
