A new beginning

Today, I am cleaning out all of my old posts. It is time for a clean slate, a new beginning. Sometimes you have to tear things down and scrap it all in order for God to build something new.

Manic Mondays

I am so very happy.  My schedule has changed, freeing up my morning time.  I now have time to work out in the mornings.  This morning, my husband and I were able to go to the gym together. I love Mondays.  My husband has Mondays off, which is typically my busiest work day.  He covers laundry, dishes, makes dinner and runs errands for me. Tonight he is roasting chicken and veggies  I feel so blessed and thankful. My goals this week are to get back into a regular work out schedule.  I have skipped work outs a lot with my old schedule and overtime .  Now that I have the time, I want to re-establish a workout routine. I also want to get back into using My Fitness Pal to track my meals, instead of just winging it.  I am going to get to bed earlier Monday-Friday .  In addition, I want to ensure that I am regsularly taking my supplements. I am also looking forward to catching up on my reading.  I have 5 books checked o...

Life Happens 10%

I heard a really great quote today:  "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you respond to it."   Check out this amazing 90 /10 Video.   It really gave me a positive boost! This is my theme for the week.  I cannot always control what happens to me, but I am learning how not to immediately panic, make bad decisions or give up.  Focus on the 90%. Things will happen. You throw you back out after planning out your work outs.  You file taxes and discover you owe money.  A child gets the flu when your insurance deductible just started over.  You get a flat tire.  These things will happen.  Sometimes, it will happen at the worst time.   While this song is about a break up, "I will survive" is my motto today.   I have learned to not panic when these things happen.  It was not an easy road to get to this point.  After so many unexpected things to crop up, I have learned over time, the more I try to jum...

Keeping Up with the Keeping Up

This week has been a non-stop week.  I had 2 overtime days, working 11 hour shifts, followed by 3 normal shifts that were crammed with non-stop issues to deal with.  My job is fast paced and often filled with problems to solve, and on occasion, challenges to overcome.  Despite this, the hubs and I worked out 6 days this week between the gym (4x) and walking laps at the mall (2x). For the month of March, we managed to work out 27 days of 31.  My fitness goals for April are to workout 5-6 days per week, lose 5 lbs and to focus more on strength.  In addition to that, I want to hit platinum status on my Go365 health plan.  During March, I kept bouncing between up and down 5 lbs, but finally managed to be 4 lbs down by the end of the month. My financial goals for April are to cover my 1st qtr taxes, which I am set to do this coming week.  I also want to pay off the remaining $130 balance of our JCP card.  This weekend, I put $30 toward that....
