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........
