If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again...

So today was a vast improvement! I overslept but the good news is that I didn't have to be in until 9 today instead of 7.... so I still had time to get my Upper Fix in!! And now my armpits hurt and my arms feel like limp noodles. That's ok though, that means I worked hard!! I was hoping to also squeeze in a mile run this morning, but that one had to be skipped. I feel like on these days where the focus is on arms or legs I want more of a heart racing sweat (pardon my former inner runner coming through).

So anyway, I got my Upper Fix in and then managed to continue on with my morning feeling right as rain. Got to work, had a good (yet crappy - there weren't many good incoming sales leads as we had hoped) day. I went to a brief meeting for Relay For Life in Southern Anne Arundel County this up coming June (please let me know if you're interested!! I'd love to see you there!) and then headed to Lusby to visit a friend of mine and give her some info on Lawn Care.

In case anyone was wondering, I work for a lawn care and pest control company by the name of Blades of Green. I absolutely love my job and I am proud of my company. I never imagined myself working for a lawn care company (because every little girl's dream is turfgrass related, right?) but I wouldn't trade my career for anything in the world. I can't stress to you enough how much I love this place!!

Anyway..... as far as the nutrition is concerned, I also saw a vast improvement. I stayed on track pretty much all day, except when i got home. I was hungry from my busy day and I was too tired to cook so I snacked on some corn tortilla chips and homemade salsa. Not exactly the best option for me, but I have to say HUGE improvement over the last couple days... I even said no to BEER! Which is hard for me considering I used to drink a beer with dinner every night.

Now it is time to snuggle up in bed with my dog and my kitty and read a little before I pass out entirely. Tomorrow will be another small success in the chain that is this challenge!

Adult Life

Today is all about not wanting to be an adult!! As my wonderful friend and coach said today, "why can't I just spend all day working out and cooking instead of being an adult!?" Well put my friend. Well put! Today was full of less than fun adult stuff, like getting up way too early for any human being to be even getting up to pee, working 11 hours, running around like a maniac to pick up my 6 year old and feed her and get her to swimming lessons, plus squeezing in my own workout while at the gym, then getting home, putting her to bed, trying to get some bills paid and clean up the kitchen a little, feeding every animal in the house (there are a lot), getting them all to go potty, trying to get more bills paid, rsvping to birthday parties and graduation parties, trying to plan out the rest of the week in order to make sure at least one of the thousands of major projects for the house get done.... I'm sorry, I've completely lost my train of thought because

Jeremiah 29:11

"'For I know the plans I have for you' said the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" I would not consider myself the religious type, in fact for the last 8 years I have struggled very much with my faith. After hitting a rough spot in my life a few months back, I reached out to a good friend of mine who found God and got baptized into the church and has grown a lot in her faith over the last few years. I reached out to her because I was feeling very lost and alone and I guess I thought maybe the church could help me. After a rough break up we talked again about the tough times I'd been facing and she sent me a beautiful care package with a book (which I haven't read yet but when I do we will chat about that!) and some nail polish, some earrings, some Derby Chocolates (yum!), and a note. On the back of the note read "Jeremiah 29 11"..... I had no idea what this verse said or was about so

Unfortunately, aside from watching CNN as much as possible last saturday, I haven't been able to find credible information in the few spare minutes that I can find to look into the events. I don't know whether or not to fear for our country and our people or be proud of them. Social Media has me more confused than ever! So many opinions, many of which are uneducated. So..... What I do want to elaborate on is my personal view point on life experiences as
