Grrrr!

I'm mad.   Today....I'm mad.  I can't give you a good reason, except that i may very well being throwing an internal temper tantrum.   I'm not getting what I want when I want it, and I'm MAD about it.   

i had my training class today, and for the first time this boot really got in my way.   I wasn't able to work out with "my girls."   My trainer, Mandy, made such a great effort for me.   She kept me busy working upper body and truly worked my arms until they felt like spaghetti.  (In fact, typing is a little hard right now.)  I wasn't able to participate in the lower body workout that everyone else was doing.   I still got a good workout in, still burned calories, and still stayed on track to ultimately fulfilling my goal, but it's not happening MY WAY.  You see, this change in direction wasn't part of my master plan.   It's messing with my personal timeline, and it is making me MAD!

I am going to let myself be a little mad today, but I have to work hard to not let it take over my entire attitude.   I'm mad at the situation.   I'm upset that I'm not in control.   And I think I might be a little scared that I'm gonna lose my momentum.

    Hang in there and release the control girl. Sometimes life does things for a reason and it sounds like you are still on track. So concentrate on the fact that you are making it work despite the boot because that is a pretty good life lesson.

Hi Dad....

Hi Dad. Well, it’s been a year since you left.    That almost seems incomprehensible to me.    That it’s been a year since I heard your voice, or gave you a hug, or listened as you told a really bad joke….    It seems impossible. It seems impossible that for 365 days I have walked this planet without you to call on.    I miss you so much. We’re all a year older, and so many little things have changed.   The kids’ lives have changed, as have their interests.    We’ve travelled some, and already have plans to take mom on some trips next year.    Don’t worry, we aren’t leaving her at home.  We're getting her out.  :) It’s been a bit of a challenge learning the new normal.    We’ve all moved ahead, and although it seemed impossible a year ago, we had birthdays, and holidays, and dinners.    We added a new baby…..and have ANOTHER coming soon.    And through it all, we laughed, and we cried, but truly the laughter seems to be winning.     Even though we know

What "After" Looks Like

I went to the gym today. Again. It’s been a while.    And I always feel a little dread when I know a workout is going to be hard.    But I went.    AGAIN.   And even though I haven’t been in a while it never occurred to me that I wouldn’t go back.    That even though I have gained a little or lost a little or whatever, that no matter what, no matter how long has passed, no matter how much I know it might suck, I ALWAYS go back. And   I had a little light bulb moment that has been brewing in my head for a while. I belong to a great gym.    Anytime Fitness in Liberty is awesome.    I love the staff, my trainer who I have been with for several YEARS is there and he rocks.    I have friends I can always count on for a hello when I am there…..    It’s great.    And I have very little to complain about except this. Before and Afters.    Corporate gyms always post the before and afters of their “success” stories to motivate people, and lately I have seen on their

I’m Headed to Church

Today as I am sitting here in paradise I keep thinking about how  blessed I am. People often say to me “you are SO LUCKY that you GET to travel as much as you do!”   And it’s true....I am.   I AM lucky.   And I used to be embarrassed about the travel we do, like people might think I was bragging or a show off. But the truth is, we have chosen to live our life in a way that makes travel a priority.   We live a life we can afford so we can take these vacations, and share these amazing experiences with our kids. Travel feeds my soul.    It makes me happy.   The ocean is my church.    Knowing when my next adventure is coming keeps me sane. I am blessed to have a husband who also feels the same. So I guess the message I want to share is, live your life in a way that feeds your passion, whatever it might be.   Feed your soul.   Go to “your church.”  Make what makes you feel whole a priority.    Your adventures are important.   Your happiness is important.
