A little over a month ago...

A little over a month ago I have started to eat right and exercise.  In no way shape or form have I been perfect.  I have had good days followed by bad days.....I have been able to find ways to come back from those bad days...typically if I had a bad day it would last for months or years.  So even with those bad days I have found some success...I weighed myself and I am down........

9lbs...I haven't been perfect, but I will take it!!!  

So Sick and So Blessed.....

For the past couple days I have been sicker than a dog!!  I hate being sick, sure did knock me down!!! Thanks to Erin and Linda for coming to my need and bringing me the essentials.  It is always great to have Amazing family and friends who will drop everything to help you.  Sure does make you feel loved!!! 

Today we had a Relief Society activity about Doing Good!!  I definitely haven't been doing enough good.  I have been so blessed in the ward (church group) I have been placed in, especially with the sisters in it.  They have been so warm and welcoming to me.  So many hugs and hello's especially on Sunday.  When some days it can be hard to walk into a room all by yourself.  I have been doing it for many years and it doesn't seem to get any easier.  There is always someone who will sit by me and chat with me.  I realized today that I have been really selfish lately and only thinking of myself and all my problems.  Maybe if I spend some time helping others, doing good, that in the long run it will only benefit me and help me (once again a little selfish, but you know what I mean). So I plan to start doing some Good!!! This week a lot was done to help me...Time to pay it Forward...Right!!!

The dreaded Monday...

Boy do I hate Mondays!!!  I don't even know why...going back to work...getting up to an alarm clock...I seem to struggle most on this day.  Maybe it is cuz I didn't sleep very well last night....which may have lead to my emotions taking over for the day. Which left me only wanting to crawl into bed when I got home from work and sleep...which I did! Blast!! Did I make the 20 min today, no, but there is always tomorrow! So the plan....forget about today(don't dwell on it) and start fresh tomorrow!! 

20 minutes...will it kill me....

20 minutes a day...that is all I need to do.  Why is it hard to put on clothes and hit the treadmill or walk outside.  So Saturday....the same thing..I am a little bored nothing to do.  Something keeps telling me 20 minutes that is it. So after 2 hours of fighting it...I threw on my work out clothes and headed to the gym.  Hopped on the treadmill....put the towel over the time, lets be honest I will sit and stare at it and it goes even slower.  So that little thing helps me so much, which is a little weird...whatever works.  Right??  I worked up a little sweat....and felt good when I finished.  As I walked out of the gym and heard honking and cheering...looked up and who was there...My stalkers...Erin and Scott.  There were picking up there car and saw me coming out.  Nothing like a little cheering to make you feel good that day. So did that 20 minutes kill me....um....no....could I do twenty minutes a few times a week...um...yes!! 

So that's my number for now...20....It won't kill me!!
