posting the positives

-
I have had such a negative week this week I decided I need to post some possitive things that are a result of the challenge.. here we go:

* I am strong!
* I can run a long way without passing out! (started out walking 12 weeks ago and about died!)
* I found out I LOVE music again.. thanks to the IPOD
* I found out I LOVE running again!
* My bras dont pinch anymore!
* I dont dread trying to figure out what to wear anymore.
* I have more energy.
* my hair is not falling anymore
* my FEET DONT HURT
* I enjoy shopping again (guess that could be good and bad)
* I am being a good example to my kids and other people too. (My hubby said someone said something about seeing me out running in the early morning.. I thought.. yeah! someone else to inspire.. maybe.. you never know who is watching you)
* I dont feel guilty for eating bad on my free days.
* I can wear size six (although ladies I was having to pull those up today! my butt is getting so tiny.. another 11 weeks and who knows what size I will be! .. This BFL thing really does work!)
* I can carry all my children.. in case of injury or other..
* I dont have terrible tummy aches any more!
* I dont get stressed out about what to fix for dinner, lunch or other..
* I am warm most of the time.. instead of being cold all the time like I use to.
* I can wear high heel shoes again (cause my feet dont hurt anymore)
* I sleep better at night.

I know there are more.. but thats it for tonight..

ok.. now I feel better!

Ruthie,

I think you are a testament to why us mom's are doing this! It is all about being there for our family. When Mommy feels yucky, life is pretty yuckie!

Way to go - loved the positive post!

Thanks for your post! Especially about starting out walking and dying! lol

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
