On the Verge of Greatness

I have so many plans in my head. I just have to stop thinking about it, planning it, researching it, and just DO IT! I know i can achieve so much more than what i have, though i am pleased and proud of my progress.  I have written out my fitness goals, i have strategized what would work best for me. I have talked about it. I have read about it. I have interviewed for it. Now i need to just do it! While Nike may say “Just Do IT!” i say SHUT UP and Do it!! Enough working out the brain muscles and start working out the other ones girl!... there if that isn’t a push in the right direction i don’t know what is.. just Shut up and Do it!! I am ready for the next phase, the next step. for me that is a personal trainer and committing to the gym. it is time!

can you hear me now?

That's it! (insert picture of me stomping foot) i am NOT going to let every upheaval and emotion dictate what i put in my mouth! so often when i am upset, hurt, scared, worried i adopt an "i DONT care" attitude towards my food choices. NO MORE! trials come, sh** happens! and around here... it happens often. i will not allow it to affect my food choices any longer. i am taking back control of one of the very few things I can control. Do you you hear me Lynn! I am taking back control and will not be flippant, mindless or self-sabotaging with my food choices today, and then tomorrow and then the next day.

putting it into "auto-pilot"

I'm having one of those days where your mind is whirling and you can't string 2 thoughts together to form a cohesive sentence! it's days like this that i am so glad that my food is automated and preplanned. i don't have a lot of brain power to make decisions today but what i do know is what i will eat, when i will eat and what i will eat next. Thank you Eat-Clean Diet for making my meals a no-brainer...just today...i don't have a brain! This just reinforces and reminds me of the value of those meal prep days and taking the time to plan ahead and have the week's food (or at least 3 days) figured out and ready to go. and hopefully i will get my brain back before the fridge is empty...lol...lol...

Little Blaack Dress

So stand up. Put your right hand over your head and behind your neck like you are trying to zip up the last 2” of that little black dress (hey a girl can dream). Now imagine yourself having to walk for thirty minutes like that around your neighborhood. Yep I did. To that add looking down all the time, not just a slight tilt but a full on trying to see your bellybutton looking down. Half way into my morning walk/jog my neck went out and the only way to relieve the spasm was as described above… what a hoot! May I just say it was one long-ass walk home and I suspect I got some looks. Fortunately I couldn’t see them. Unfortunately I couldn’t see anything which meant I was walking past intersections and crossroads strictly by sound. Well I made it home and immediately put some ice on it. Dogs however where very hungry by this time so I dragged myself up off the floor, strapped the ice around my neck and got about their food. Trying some Tylenol before I kick it up to the big stuff and torture my gut anymore than I have to… and how is YOUR morning going?
