RIGHT NOW!
During your time spent here on my blog you may have noticed that I am a very visual as well as musical person.
Most Friday's it is "Get your Freak On Friday" around my house. I love to pick a dance tune or some song that is stuck in my head and drive the kids to the bus stop with it playing.
I have been in a funk lately.
I think it is the cold and gloomy weather.
This can be a very slippery slope kind of time for me. The weather is calling for comfort kinds of food.
Last June I embarked on the goal to loose the 20 pounds I had gained after my mom passed and Brad was sick. I had spent those 9 months not really feeling like I wanted to work out and...
I didn't.
I also began cooking for my dad and those meals were all easy to prepare, and freeze comfort meals. While I was making them I also made the same thing for us....
and I ate it!
The result was not too pretty, I remember going to California and seeing the pictures when we came home and not liking what I saw.
But, more importantly I didn't like how...
I felt.
Once those pounds were off I made myself the Valerie Bertenelli promise...
I was not going to wake up on New Years day on a diet!
And I didn't...
I woke up and ate pop tarts for breakfast.
and i was thrilled!
But one pop tart...
turned into a daily event and...
I started not feeling so good again.
I am happy to say I am 7 days off the pop tarts and...
I feel Great!
Been a little mia here and that's because I'm huffing and puffing with my favorite work out buddy Charlene Johnson!
7 days ago I heard this song on the radio.
So funny that I've heard this song a zillion times, and it never really effected me like it did that day.
I have used it as my work out motivator.
I don't love working out.
I will never be a size zero.
I'm okay with that.
I just like the feeling of opening my closet and putting something on and feeling really good in it.
And when I am eating pop tarts and have slipped into a food coma...
I can't do that.
I'm still climbing
not for perfection,
but for the best that I can be.
And Right Now this is it.
When I feel like putting it off...
I think about this song
and if need be,
listen to it super loud,
rock'in it out in my house!
what do you need to do Right Now?
Need some motivation?...
This AMAZING woman will be doing this tomorrow! Check her out!
and last but not least.....Drumroll........
Ta da!

Yeah Sarah!! You're going to love your new convertable!
Right Now I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the piles of junk I need to take care of around my house, the projects I need to get done for my son's school, and the products I need to make for my shop. I need this song more today then ever. Thanks girl! Have a wonderful weekend. Can't wait to see what you make during your scrappin' day.
THank You Thank you! Diana you are too sweet. I love your stuff and always look forward to your creative creations.
Sarah I get so many compliments on my convertable you will just love it!
Sorry you have been in a funk :( I am sending you something sweet in your box from Cali but just pass it on to the kids...believe me I truly understand. Weight has been my issue forever! One year ago I decided to stop and get it together. I lost 60lbs and I still need another 30lbs to feel just right. I HATE the gym and love to dance to work out. Jazzercise is OK but I would rather do it at home. Maybe I need to check out the tapes and kick my butt back into the swing of things. Spring will be here soon and then summer which is always scary! Thanks for sharing your heart. I can't wait to see what you create tomorrow. I went and bought the frame for Pat for Valentine's Day I think he will be receiving it late. My computer has given me fits all week. I think she is back thank goodness! Enjoy tomorrow....
aww I'm sorry you are in a funk! I have been too. It's the season. Plus carrying extra weight is depressing. I wihs I only had 20-30 to lose :-( Keep working hard on it. I made a pact with my sister to lose 20 pounds by memorial day. If either of us fails the other posts the losers weight on facebook- def not going to happen!!!! Cheer up and keep up your motivation.
have a great weekend!!!
Loved the post. Loved right NOW! I've taken a while to figure out my word for the year. NOW I've found it...NOW. Thank you!
I totally understand the funk, the weight, the need to do something about it!
I gotta get on the boat and start to workout again! When I saw our Florida pictures, I almost fell over. Who was that person I saw? Me I guess, but sure doesn't look like me!
YAY, for fun Saturdays!
