Stay Positive... Tomorrow is a new day!

Since my post this morning.... i will admit that i have faltered more than once today. I spend my morinng on a healthy hike with a mile run with my dog, then I had to go into the office to pick some things up, I ran a few errands.... then disaster struck.... i got a milky way bar.....
Then, since I spent the day working on paining my bathroom and finishing fixing the GAPING hole in the wall, I never really sat down and ate a meal. I just snacked on crap all day! By 7:30 all I could think was "what the heck were you thinking! we just went through this this morning!"

Then I remembered the video. I definitely hit the snooze button too many times this morning because I just didn't feel like it. I could have put down what I was doing to make a healthy meal.... but i just didn't feel like it.......... I'M NEVER GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT!........


So instead of "fat shaming" myself I am going to put a positive spin on what I've done today. Here is what I have accomplished:

1. For the first time in FOREVER, I spend some time on myself. I went to the park with my dog and went for a run/hike and played in the water... well she played in the water. This is a HUGE accomplishment for me since I devote almost every second of everyday to my job (don't get me wrong, I love my job and I enjoy working.. I just need to do other things too

2. I finished sanding/replastering the huge hole in my bathroom wall. Then I painted the entire room. I also cleaned it from top to bottom. (anyone who has seem the master bathroom in this house will know how big a feat that is.... this house is way too big for me)

3. I went the whole day without arguing with my ex. I didn't even get short or upset with him..... small victory!

4. I tried to eat healthy. I truly tried..... I may have failed today, but tomorrow is a new day and a new start.

5. I completed a goal I had for myself, which was to be finished with the bathroom.... it's been a holey mess for over a year and I was soooooo tired of looking at it.



Tomorrow is a whole new day, and I've already set my alarm back 30 minutes. And when it goes off. I WILL throw back my sheets and get up and start my day!

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
