    What?! Wow! I am not sure how to do that! I might have to sneak in yoga as part of the "refresh and regroup".
    I also must admit I have started looking for a half marathon to complete this summer. Can you believe it? Me...choosing to try it again. Oh my!

7 weeks to go - 2nd chances!

Meet Joey and his miniature horse friend.  They live at a boys Ranch in Michigan where they are working together to learn how to live a healthy and happy life.  Upon meeting Joey he took me immediately to the stall where, we'll call him Rocky, and his Dad lived.  Knowing that minature horses can have little man's sindrome and display less than pleasant behaviors I asked if they were nice.  Joey looked at me as though there was no other answer and said, "OH yes, and Rocky is mine."

Week 2 in the journey towards the Finish line!

I walked into a Starbucks awhile back and was greeted by an extremely friendly young man.  The usual, "How are you?" was said by him and the predictable, "Fine" by me was the initial exchange.  He told me that he was glad I was doing well to which I responded, "What would you do if I said I wasn't okay?"  His reply took me back, made me think, and has followed me since that day. With a huge smile he said, "Well, I would ask what I could do to make it better!"  What a concept!  Doing what one could to make a stranger's day better - I wanted to be that quick to think like that! It's fair to say that we all like to think of others and help where we can but our own desires get in the way.  The thought of being intentional in this came to mind the other day when I was wanting to eat foods I shouldn't.  The concept of combating such temptation with thinking of others needs over my wants turned a moment of temptation into a time of pra...

Week 3 of 24!

I hope you have had a GREAT week and are looking forward to moving ahead into week 3!  You will notice that the exercises look familiar, which is what I am hoping. There are more reps but moves that you should now be comfortable/familiar with.  If you are consistent in doing them you WILL see progress!!!!  I look forward to hearing how you are doing. We'll go through the carb cycle with this list of foods for 2 more weeks and then we'll move on to a more sustainable cycle/food program. Lean Protein:     Eggs     Tuna     Chicken breast     Halibut     Lean Turkey breast     Lean steaks     Lean Ground beef     Beans Complex Carbohydrates w/starch:     Brown Rice     Corn Tortilla     Baked potato     Yams/Sweet potato     Oatmeal Complex Carbohydrates w/out starch     Spinach     Kale     Ce...
