I had a productive day!!!! I woke up around 6 AM after having a WONDERFUL nights sleep (rare for me). I had to go to plan B for my workout! Plan A was 2 miles on the “Green Bridge” but I needed to wake when the alarm went off at 5 AM (Totally slept through it). So Plan B was 2 miles on the treadmill!!! I also danced to 4 songs (Bad Romance, Daddy’s Home, Too legit Too Quit, and Pleasure Principle) A great calorie burn!! When I was on the treadmill, “Survivor” By destiny’s Child came on the ipod!! I started to really listen to the words!!!! I am TOTALLY A SURVIVOR, I’m NOT gonna give up!!! LOL!!! I also did 2oo crunches and an upper body circuit workout!! (Great Stuff) I took a shower, made my green smoothie and headed to Arcadia (2 hour drive for a nursing home that Is a workout consisting of 25-35 patients treated ON MY KNEES!!!!!) So that was my second workout!!! (25 squats) 😉
I was there for about 2 hours, then I headed back home!! Listened to some AWESOME tunes and a few Great podcasts. I had my first conference call with Kimmie and Kim (our Bodybugg coach from the @Skinny_Scoopers challenge!!! I learned soooooo much information!!! I am excited to apply the knowledge!!! I was feeling so POSITIVE, STRONG, EXCITED, and DETERMINED!!!!
I decided to hit the bridge for a Sunset light workout.
There were many “Like Minded” Individuals out there!!!! I was On Cloud 9 until I bumped into Mrs. Dream Killer!!!! I ignored, however, there was a slight kink in my TOTALLY EXCITED ARMOR, This kink was repaired as soon as I got home and a POSITIVE INFLUENCE in my LIFE, Shared a “Precious Moment” with me….. The take home message of the day…. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVITY!!!!!! DON’T give the DREAM KILLERS the POWER to Steal your Dreams!! EMBRACE the PRECIOUS MOMENTS along the JOURNEY!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
You know what? You just reminded me of something I used to love to do and don’t do much of any more: dance. In fact, when I first started losing weight, dancing was something I’d do because I loved it. And boy did I work up a sweat. I’d dance around the house like a crazy woman! So thanks for the reminder!!
And it’s so true about positive people. I love this quote, which I came across recently:
“Always look for the best in people, for if you do you will find it. The looking creates what you are looking for; the way in which we behave when we look for the best produces a different result from the way in which we behave when we look for something else (like the worst). Quantum mechanics operates on the human scale, too.”
Yes! Don’t ever let anyone take your sunshine away. Sometimes you have to learn to walk away from influences that want to hold you back. All the time I remind you that you cannot be ALL things to ALL people. If a person tries to achieve this, they themselves get lost along the wayside. Always a pleasure to read your enthusiasm.
