Feel the pain . . .

Ya know - before I got into exercise a few years ago, whenever I would hear someone say "Feel The pain" when they were talking about exercise, I would think "Yeah, right!"

Well, now I am such a person. I love that burn. I have been doing an affirmation on being in perfect health and being a size 6, and for the last 6 months have been doing cardio, but to no avail (or at least it seemed it). I started weight-training again yesterday (first time in 7 years - yikes!) and found out a few things - I am feeling the burn again, YAY; I wake up sore again, YAY, and I also had my body-fat percentage measured and found that all that cardio had made a difference, I may have stayed the exact same weight, but I was burning off 7% of my body fat! YIPPEE!~

Added to that - my perfect health mantra must be working. I find all the foods I used to love either tasteless, or even worse, gross. Now I am starting to look at trying to eat Lettuce (GASP!~). Yeah, I have never been a fan of the green leafy stuff. but find myself starting to crave it - what an odd thing - and yet exciting!

Will keep ya posted!

Pity Party: Party of one

It is difficult looking into the mirror when I am dealing with having what I have to call a midlife crisis. It took so long to get passed my past. I still struggle with some things, but others I have overcome in a large way. So here I sit - I don't feel 43 for the most part, but the hard thing is - I am.  All the things most people are learning in their early 20s, I am dealing with. Now, that would not be bad if I was 21. But I am not 21. I'm 43. The only single men around me are divorced. Most with children. Great. Just what I wanted. (And yes, that was sarcasm.) Not to mention the fact that I seem to attract men I would never be attracted to, not in a million years. Yeah - definitely putting out the wrong vibration.

Review: Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Coaching Program

OK, I did it. I completed the Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Program. And intensive it was!~ This program has its good points and its bad points, all which will be mentioned here. But make no mistake about it - If I had it all to do over again, I would! The Bob Proctor Intensive was a 10-week program that used "You Were Born Rich", one of Bob's programs, as its base. The first four weeks were spent with reading intently, watching the DVDs intently, and listening to CDs of the DVDs intently. The last four weeks were spent working toward a specific goal.

Look for the Light - #positive

Image
You know how they always say it is darkest before the dawn? Well, unfortunately, the same goes for emotions. Sometimes we feel about as low as we can get before we make some sort of breakthrough. So next time things seem overwhelming and you think you are drowning, look for the light. It could be anything. A laugh from a friend, a dog sunning itself, even a pretty flower. Or, it could be getting that book you have been wanting for months. Embrace that light. Hold it tight. Remember it. Take a picture if you need to, so that when the darkness encroaches again, you have a clear beam to make it go away. Look for the light.
