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!

No More Resolutions

res·o·lu·tion ˌrezəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/ A firm decision to do or not do something. So every year we all make these crazy resolutions to make us "better people" and some make realistic ones while others seem to be reaching for the stars. But this year I am resolving to not make a resolution. Now don't get me wrong, I am still going to strive to be a better person each and every day, but a resolution is setting yourself up for failure. We are not perfect and old habits die hard... why do you think so many people buy those gym memberships in January and then stop going by March? It's because they are expecting themselves to have magically flipped a switch and never mess up. But again.. we are not perfect! We were never intended to be either. So instead of making a crazy resolution to lose weight, work out more, eat better, watch less TV, spend more time with family, blah blah blah blah blah.... I am going to set myself up the right way.  Instead of making m...

Exercise Your Demons!

So.... today i realized one of my favorite little "added" workouts is to crank up the music while I'm cleaning and dance around the house! I feel like it's a great way to keep myself moving and in a good mood while I'm doing all the things no one likes to do. vacuuming has become much more tolerable and can I just tell you.... dishes were never more fun! I get a lot more work done around the house when I do it this way and, while there is always more to do, I feel much more accomplished when I can say it was a worth while workout. Having said all that, working so much this spring, a workout and diet plan has been incredibly difficult. Between 10-11 hour shifts and lack of help around the house, meal prep has become sort of a figment of my imagination. I do try my hardest to stay on track, but the unhealthy stuff is just so much easier!! I have managed to make it to the gym at least three times so far this week and got in a total of 8 miles in ...

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...
