Why Me?

Oh I can find every excuse in the world to have a "ME pity party" but its not going to work.

Why me when:

I will and can get focused - because I love myself enough to take care of the body God gave me

I can stop excuses - really are they valid, nope!

I will find ways to encourage myself - find 1 good thing, its not hard (my feet)

I won't let others de-rail me - nope, going to stick with my plan of action

I have spunk - somedays more then others

I may have to push myself - yup, my own GO button

I will have to motivate myself - no one can do this for me

I can create a good environment to do good - color I love color

I won't let time get away from me - if I make it important I will do it

I will try new things - I won't fear the unknown

Why me? well......why not me, I'm the only ME God made like this "a one of a kind" so I may as well honor him and do the best I can with ME.

Other methods were:

Visualize bright light
Visualize calm and happy

and to always remember to use your mouth for eating and nose to breathe.

My workout today felt much more focuses, could it have been from the meditation last night?

Playful Workouts

I wish I had something super insightful to share today but I am feeling playful instead.
Have you ever heard of Fitness Poker?

I did this article on it because I feel like you have to mix things up, hence the reason I went to the Dollar store and got a Hoola-Hoop!

Did you know there is always an exercise you can do to be inspired? You don't have to do the same ole same old again and again till it becomes like work.
(insert not counting runners here) But still you vary your runs and times so that is changing it up and either you like running or you don't per say.

My friend Steve from Fitness and More just sent out a newsletter on this exact subject (insert great minds think alike?)

Workout today - 3 mile Run at lunch

Smoothie:
1/2 banana
2 scoop vanilla whey
1 c water
1 tsp olive oil

I leave you with some inspiration today:
