God Grant Me Grace

I don't even know where to begin except for I showed up to a much-needed massage appointment per request from the massage person to be there 15 minutes early. I showed up 15 minutes early only to wait an additional 15 minutes before she was ready. I felt a little upset as she wanted me to show up early so she could get her kids and not have to cut my massage short. I kept asking myself - what is the reason for this so what is the reason that I need to wait and have to spend more time away from my family when she's clearly not respecting my time. My main reason for this massage 1) had a coupon and a really great deal on Groupon, so I thought I would give it a shot. It's a new place that I haven't been to and I can see why the reviews have been rather poor. 2) I really just wanted some peace and quiet. I also thought this would be a great time to work on praying for my day. I was a little disappointed when I walked into the room, which was right off of the front

Ugh, motivation

So yeah... all gung-ho on the workout train. Then Labor Day weekend happened. I didn't go for 3 days! Maybe 4? I went on Wednesday to Burn . Yeah, it burns. I'm still sore.  I lack motivation though! I was to get up at 5:15 A freaking M today! I went to sleep IN MY WORKOUT CLOTHES! All I had to do was  1) Get up  2) Put on Socks   3) Put on Shoes  4) Eat an egg & banana   5) drive to freaking boot camp Instead??? I slept. Granted I didn't sleep well after hubby woke me at 4:30 am telling me his  boot camp was cancelled so it was ok for me to go at 5:30. I laid awake forever. Then I shut off the alarm. What's wrong with me? I love boot camp! I love when I go! I love how dang ass (literally) sore I am after. Ok, maybe not the day I pulled a butt cheek but I digress. Who's picking me up tomorrow??  I need a whoopin'. PS - GREAT stuff for sore muscles...

I'm Alive.

Yes, the last blog from earlier today ended a bit sooner than I'd have liked. The timer went off, it was time to get to boot camp. It take a million years to get into the car with a 3 year old and 19 month old. I survived. I cheered others. I told myself I WILL NOT QUIT And I didn't! I may have "rested" here and there when it came to the millions of hill climbers I did. I used weights on my squat rotation! I rocked them. Will I be able to pee tomorrow or later today? Probably not. Will it be worth it? Most def.  Tomorrow is Upper Body and Core. My plan is 8:30 or 9:30 am. Who's going to join me??  Right now, they have a $1 a day dealio - $30 for 30 days. I'm excited. I hope more of my friends join in. I hope to cheer them on.  High Fives all around! I did it! I survived. And I stink.  #feeltheburn #burnbootcamp #burnverona #ididit

Let the excuses begin!

Let the excuses begin!!  Also known as... Mind F*** Today I start a 30 day challenge with a new place in Verona called Burn Boot Camp . I'm scared. My left butt cheek is already numb in anticipation of squats and other torture workout implements. I'm dressed.  But am I ready?? My Facebook friend JoAnne already posted that she did it at 5:30 am. Man, that's early! She did, so I can too, right? Or can I? I am my worst critic. I NEED THIS. Yes. This is the mantra I'll use. I have to do this. It's for me! My time. My health. My favorite jeans need this. This too . I'm 37? 38? I can't even remember. It was May of 1978, you do the math. It's Monday and I've already got enough stress rocking and rolling around my noggin' about this boot camp thing. Excuse list: my shoes are too tight....

Thinking Thursday

Where do all the other shoes go? You know the ones to which b I'm referring - the forgotten left and rights. The soles with no mates. The ones randomly strewn along side every Highway and bi way across the globe. How does one lose their shoe? The passenger with the foot hanging out the window may be inclined to lose a flip flop or flat, but how does that explain the Nike or construction boot? They can't as easily fly off all willy nilly with all their laces and such, can they? And how come you never see a good shoe?  A red soled shoe, perhaps with a mate, laying on a quiet  residential street? A nice boat loafer with a fancy name just hanging out in the country while you're out on a Sunday cruise? It's always the tired tennies shoe or flip missing a flop along the Beltline. I guess it doesn't matter. You never want the shoe you pass on the interstate going 78 miles per hour anyway.  If you did, you would have to do some fancy maneuvering to turn around and get t

The Learning Curve

This blog thing is going to take some time I have a feeling. I'm pretty tech savvy but this is a whole new element of learning.  I know what I want to do, but I just can't figure out how to do it. And this cup of joe ain't stimulating anything in the brain. Could it be that it's decaf? Perhaps. Someday (I hope soon) I'll post something worthwhile. For now, you'll just have to grin & bear it like I am!  Don't you just love this classic poster?
