Determined To Be The Very BEST ME!!!

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) 😉 

My FAVORITE Croc Kneeler!!!

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!!!! 

My New BodyBugg from @Skinny_Scoopers

 I decided to hit the bridge for a Sunset light workout.  

That's Xavier!! My Trainer/Pace Car!!! 😉

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!!!!

Loving Life’s Lessons

Rainbow I saw while driving to work this morning

I woke up this morning feeling a little less than Fabulous.  I blamed it on the early alarm clock (set for 4:45AM so that I could get a little cardio in before starting the Nursing Home at 6:30)  I did my cardio and felt STRONG, but a little “Off”.  This feeling would stay with me for the entire day!!  I had some Awesome highlights!!  For example, one patient told my 2 nurses and me that we were a Beautiful group of ladies!! (So Sweet)  I also got to share in one of my friends process of “evolving” which is pretty darn cool to witness.  It just makes me look forward to my own Evolution that much more!!  It wasnt until around 10:15PM that I “Faced” my New “Life Lesson”  The reason I was feeling less than the best…. The Reason is that I am an “OMITTER” 

OMIT~  To leave something or somebody out:  to fail to include or mention something or somebody deliberately or accidentally

I will leave out little tidbits to “Avoid” conflict!!  (I also had a friend call me an “Avoider” today, but I will discuss that in a future post).  It was a Dear Friend that pointed this out to me tonight (That I am an omitter).  She handled me with TOTAL CARE.  Before enlightening me on what she later told me I already knew (she was correct) She asked me if I was “open”.  Open to hear, open to listen, open to share, open to GROW….. My response was YES!!!!!  We “spoke” for a while and I “Heard” every word.  Armed with the tools that the “Lesson” taught me, I was able to apply the knowledge and the lines of communication were repaired….. I’m still unsure of what the future holds, but I’m extremely hopeful….Thank You, Angel!!!! *Hugs*

Have “YOU” learned any “Life Lessons” recently?  If so, please share….Let’s learn TOGETHER!!!! 😉
