Thursday: Volleyball
I’ve been eating very healthy. Everyone is different and I’m starting to figure out how i tick. I’m trying to tweak my habits to make sure i get something sweet/starchy but low fat every now and then to keep my serotonin in check. It’s the only way I’ll get thru this without crashing into a total melt down. My emotions get so out of whack when i start exercising. If i eat to much protein before bed time then i can’t sleep. I’m making great progress and starting to see results and still not miserable,wasted, or cranky while getting in shape.
Volleyball was a blast and helps get me out of my element. I never played much volleyball at least not on a team. It’s weird after playing goalie for soccer deflecting instead of catching or kitting out of bounds is just as different as basketball to soccer. But…It’s now legal to kick it and that makes it fun. ‘m a power hitter and now that i have my serve actually going in the right direction I’m helping the team out. I like team sports. I love helping each other out and cheering each other on. Probably part of why i love this fitness network of bloggers. It’s great.
If something doesn’t work tweak it for you. Foods relation with brain chemistry is big and everyone has their own bag of genetic glitches. Figure out what makes you tick and tweak your habits to help you reach your goal.
Living the Dream
Speaking of goals and what makes me tick. I have a love of art and design. I’ve always talked about opening my own studio and teaching art. I’ve been doing interior design for clients for 7 years not but have never made it official. I haven’t been living my dreams or living to my full potential. I was in survival mode waiting for the next storm to hit. It feels great to be enjoying life and living. My biz cards are on their way and the site is under construction. This is great and can eventually link to my art biz. It’s an all in one design biz…Home-Office-Graphic-Art. I already have interested clients and just did my Hubby’s new corporate office. Their painting this week. I love it.
Fitness is a huge part of well being, and so is living. What’s something you’ve always wanted to do?
Go for it! Anything is possible when you believe in yourself.

I’m glad you are doing so well!
I had always wanted to pursue teaching. Well into my 30s, I went back to school and am now a community college instructor. I love what I do. You are right, doing what you really want to do is a huge part of being well. And yes, it’s never too late to pursue what you really want to do…

I want to join a soccer team… but I am way out of practice and inexperienced and out here it’s a pretty serious sport. I really need to get down to the pickup games that go on around the island and get some practice in! I also want to run a half and/or full marathon and join one of those long distance swim (teams?) races. Surf… hike… bike… you know, all that fun fitness stuff
Volleyball sounds fun but not for me. That’s great that you’re getting out and doing it because it’s a much more fun way to exercise!
