It helps me to focus on the positive and keep moving forward. I had a great week last week. Yea there were problems, and such…but I’m choosing to see the glass half full, even full, how about overflowing. It’s all in my perspective.

Last Week:

I went on a 2 mile walk/jog twice
I biked 20 min
I did a 20min Turbo workout
I fell asleep in the sun twice
I drank a salad
I played with the boys at the park
I bought flax seed for the first time
I stretched outside
I ate 10x more veggies
I spent an evening with the family at my Moms

Tonight:

I’m hitting the gym because I want to do some weight training.

This weekend:

I’m leaving the boys with dad and visiting my best friend (more like sister). I can’t wait to have some good quality “me time”. Even the 4 hour drive by myself I’m looking forward to. I’ll definitely bring Missy Higgins, KT Tungstall ect…and some healthy on the go snacks Celery Sticks, Cucumber sticks, Peanuts, Dried Fruit, and plenty of water.

Happy Monday!

I’m alive and loving it =)

Taking a week of blogging was the best thing I could have done. I love stepping back and looking at things from a distance and re-prioritizing now an then. From this perspective it’s easier to give my self a pep talk, and get-real.

Lots of great things happening…

I re-prioritized, simplified, and relaxed.

I enjoyed it so much, and got so much done, I’m going to keep doing it =)

I’m making healthy choices & exercising every day. (Even if it’s only a 5-10 min HITT bike ride and random sit ups.)

I used a free 2 night vacation package and booked 2 nights in Oceanside for May =) If it’s healthy for our finances I’ll, add on a few more nights, and flight. If not we’ll have a good-old road trip, and keep the vacation under $500.

I started doing some stability exercises to help with jumping up on a floating board in water. Still nothing like the real thing but core strengthening will help either way.

I tested out a new program for simplifying finances.

I enjoyed sunshine and fresh air.

I also enjoyed adding cottage cheese to an omelet one morning.

I fixed the high pitch squealing noise in the shower with a plumber for under $75 (that never happens).

I spent more time being active, and present every day & helped my youngest learn how to walk =)

I spent a day at a free dinosaur museum, and a day at my Grandparents.

I spent a day on me and actually saved my legs. I’m sure there are other women out there who struggle with this one when it’s freezing and your wearing jeans/pants 24/7?

I missed reading all of your posts, and either getting incredibly inspired, motivated, or hungry =)

From here…

Until the trip (May) I need to step up my activity level and blogging 2 hours a day won’t work. I’ll be doing weekly updates, or more when I just can’t wait to share, and doing my best to stay up to date on all of you. You have all supported me this far, and I want to make sure I can be there to support you as well.

I knew I could reach my goal, I just didn’t know how amazing it would be. There is lots more to learn, and I’m not all the way there yet. I‘m not quite sure if there is a “there“. I‘m just enjoying the journey!
