Good morning!

I can’t believe that we’re halfway through the week already. From when I first created this blog and when I made the decision to transform into a better me, I’m down a total of 2.2 lbs. (146) from when I started! (YIKES!). This is just from running 1.5 miles every other day, walking by dog 1.5-2 miles every day, and watching my portion during meals.

 I’ve fallen off the workout wagon dozens of time. I would lose a few pounds in the past, and then just be stuck. It was very discouraging, so I would stop that routine and do something else. Well, no more of that! Even though I’m happy with myself, I want to be happier. I want to feel confident in my own body without seeing a blob in the mirror.

The promise I made to myself –

To those that are currently on a health/wellness/fitness journey of their own, NEVER quit and Believe –

Time for me to get ready to close on the new house! I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a house of our own to call ‘home’! But…I’m even more excited to hurry and get everything moved in! I want to start my workout routine with my new fitness/nutritional products, and let the fun begin! 🙂

Until next time… 🙂

Just do it. Even if you suck” – Nike.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!

I don’t know why but I LOVE that quote by Nike.

As I was drinking my coffee earlier this morning, I was inspired to run. I took my running partner (my dog) and ran for 35 minutes. When I used to live in Florida, someone once asked me why I would run the distance I did and during the hottest hours of the day.

Call me crazy, I like the way it makes me feel.

This sums it up –

“The human body is capable of amazing physical deeds. If we could just free ourselves of perceived limitations and tap into our internal fire, the possibilities are endless” – Dean Karnazes

 On another note, I weighed myself this morning. I’m down to 147. That’s 1.2 lb weight loss total from my starting weight. I still have a long way to go! It’s true that I haven’t started my workout routine and I won’t until we are moved into the new house. When I have a break, I keep active and  slip in a short run or walk my dog for about 1.5-2 miles every day.

No matter what workout regime you have, keep knocking it out one bit at a time. It all adds up! 🙂  If I can do it, then I know that YOU definitely can too! To everyone that is dedicating themselves to become a better them, believe in yourself and in what you can accomplish.

Back to my cup of coffee, lots of water, and packing!

Until next time… 🙂
