new adventures

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

so i wrote on my status update: waiting for the weekend.

why cant i just be excited for everyday? everyday should be an adventure. i know, i know. when you get into that rut of working and making dinner and cleaning, and working and cleaning, and working and cleaning.

i need to chill out and get excited about life. get excited about the nice weather we are having. get motivated to walk different places. maybe get a bike.

the one problem i have is my husband will not bike with me. he doesnt even like to go different places and walk. he says its boring. i am gonna have to go myself since he wont go with me. thats ok. i can make it an adventure by myself.

so, i am starting fresh and am gonna find things to excite me and keep life interesting.

lets share some ideas to keep fitness interesting!!!

wow!! where did all that energy come from?????

Saturday, May 11, 2013

where in the world did i get all the energy for todays workout?

i did a 30 min workout every day this week. but today, i figured i was off so i would up the workout some. i did my c25k week 3 plus i did jillian michaels day 6. plus to make it an even 60 min workout, i got back on my treadmill for 10 min and took my dog for a walk.

i do believe that i am feeling stronger mentally and physically. as i told you in the past, i joined the ymca again. i used to go all the time but since joining, i havent gone that much. spark people teaches you to take baby steps. that is what i am going to do.

i feel like i am starting my workouts up slowly and that is building my confidence. instead of going to the ymca and taking spinning classes and doing hard things, i am going to start zumba up again. it is not super hard and it is fun.

finally, this is all starting to click for me and coming together

A&I challenge- mother day 2013

Friday, May 10, 2013

mother day 2013-- i am blessed to still have my mom at 76 years young. i cherish each day and call her every day and visit as much as possible cause i never know when God will call her home.

i addition to that, i am blessed to be the mother of an awesome 23 year old son and a 6 yr old shih tzu.

i am planning on surprising my mom at church on mothers day. after that, i will go down and take her the hydranga plant i am planning on buying her. then my husband, son and my sister and her family and my mom will go to carrolton to ponderosa to eat. it is one of her favorite places to eat. its a bit of a drive, but i will do anything for my mom/


i love her

reflections

Thursday, May 09, 2013

i have been wanting to start my running back up. i keep putting it off for some reason. i love to walk. i walk my dog every day. but it just isnt giving me the burn i need.

i started my c25k back up today. i had been trying to start where i left off , which is week 7. it just isnt working. so i decided to start at week 3. 3 min walking, 3 min jogging. as i was puttering along, i started thinking of a few years ago. i had completed the c25k. i was actually jogging a 5 k 2 or 3 times a week. not really fast. i think i got up to a 16 min mile. but i remember jogging around the track and several people would stop me and ask me how i got started in jogging. they were admiring me. what an awesome feeling that was.

so why did i quit? i have no idea except that life gets in the way and you have to be really determined to keep that momentum going .

i need to keep thinking along these lines and remember how i felt before when i completed it. i struggled today, but i know it will get easier. i just have to eat right, think right, and stay positive.

have a great spark day!!
