Happy New Year....Happy New ME!

I have not made New Years Resolutions in the past, because I have never kept them in the past. I thought about what I want my year to look like and it isn't about being skinny or changing who I already am. I want to take my life and bump it up a notch. I am already just fine the way I am. I have a poster up at work that reads...

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.
Tim Duncan

My main goal is the get in physical shape. I plan on doing every walking/running event I can to prepare myself for 1 or 2 triathlons a 1/2 marathon and a 3 day breast walk.

I CAN DO IT!

No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached I've nothing else to offer, so, to you, it's love I'll send. It's nothing that I borrowed and it's nothing that I'd lend. It has no dollar value and it can't be overused. It isn't fragile, so it can't break, though often it's abused. I've given it to others, but each time it's unique. Its meaning's always different; it depends on what you seek. It's something you can store away, to feel when you're in need. But never is it on display, its beauty can't be seen. I'm giving it 'no strings attached,' no costly warranty. This love that I am sending has a lifetime guarantee. Author Unknown

A? for effort???

a night of tossing and turning and at 4 am...caved...got up. Sleepy and hungry I went in to exercise and did a few minutes of weights (arms) and then went to the treadmill for 1/4 mile. Feel like I needed to do more and want to go back and try again...is being tired a good enough excuse to not exercise....I used to think so...but now I know that I will be tired no matter what and the pain (dang ankle) will be there and there will always be an excuse not to exercise....I am looking for excuses to FOLLOW THROUGH and keep moving and stop giving in to the little voices in my head they say it is ok to give into all of them. I am thinking about what goals I want to accomplish next summer and they all revolve around being able to hike and ride bikes and walk and run.....so I have to work through these pains and tired moments because when "race day" comes I might have to push through tired or pains....I am learning that all these feelings are a good thing...God gave them all to us

Disappointment and Frustration

Many of us, whether we are conscious of it or not, create much of the unhappiness we experience. Our disappointments are the result of our own negative or limited thoughts about ourselves and our world. What are some of those limiting thoughts, those subconscious beliefs, which keep us from experiencing joy and wholeness? One of those beliefs is that we cannot be fulfilled unless we are loved and accepted by those who are the victims of our past experiences, that we are too old or too set in our ways to change. Still another false idea is, "It's a catastrophe if things don't go my way!" Then, too, there's the self-defeating attitude that to love is to lose, so "I'd better prepare for the worst to happen because it will." Two more irrational beliefs are, "I have no control over my happiness and I want life to be easy and without hassles; therefore, I'll avoid discomfort or any new commitments." TODAY I will see each disappointment in my
