Happy Monday to you all

Good Morning! Happy Monday!

   Don't curse me out.  My Gram always said you choose your attitude for the day - and I chose to be happy!

Today was Week 2 day 1 of my start the day of with 25.  Last week I made it all week with Sunday off.  Sunday is my day of rest - no work outs that day.  I also had another accomplishment last week.  We usually go out or order in on Friday nights.  This week was Chinese.  Unfortunately I have realized that when I eat Chinese I end up spending the next 3-4 days work it off just to get back to where I was.  This week I went else where and got a deli sandwich.  So far it doesn't seem like I'm fighting off that.  We shall see where this week takes me.

I am also very busy helping organize my first 5k - Egg Scramble 5k to be help April 19th at 5:30 pm!!!  We are 48 days out.  Check out our page and event: http://www.fellowshippalmbay.org/eggscramble5k/
We are also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Egg-Scramble-5k/382247451904728

Hope your week is filled with many blessings

Happy Half way there Day

Back to reality yesterday, from a 5 day FANTASTIC vacation with my family.  I have decided to start my mornings a little bit differently.   In my head I call it 25 to start.  So after my alarm goes off I do 25 crunches, 25 incline pushups, 25 squats, and 25 tricep dips.  This way everyday starts with exercise.  It gets the blood pumping and I've begun my day in the right, healthy state of mind.

Today was day two.  It was a little harder this morning as my muscles were sore from the day before, but I completed my 25 to start.

I have found, over my years of trying to manage my PCOS, that is the littlest things that make a big difference.  Three years ago I decided I was going to start running.  I used the Free 5K101.com program and followed its instructions of 3 days a week going out there and putting one foot in front of the other.  On Dec 1st I completed my 1st half marathon.  Had a set back in this past Sunday's 1/2 marathon, but made it 8.5 miles and am learning my lessons from it.  I am already signed up for my third 1/2 marathon coming this November!  3 years ago a 1/2 marathon was just a bucket wish list item I never, ever thought I would complete.

That helps with the confidence level and renews my hope that I will find the right combination to get the weight off.  It may be many years down the road still, but I know if I keep making the small changes they will add up to the BIG ultimate change of weight loss.


Have a blessed Wednesday
