aug. 13

Aug. 13
         It's Saturday, and I'm enjoying the beautiful weather today! The last few weeks have been very stressful for me to say the least, but things are working out as they always do. (someone used to tell me that all the time).
    Things I've learned this week: nothing lasts forever, (I don't think there's such a word honestly), I've always told my children don't settle. I'm living those words this week myself. Going day to day, and not feeling important to the one person you care most about, is hurtful.
     Actions speak louder than words always. I'm moving on to other adventures is my motivation from now on. There's a whole world out there I haven't seen or experienced yet! So look out, Here I come!!! I've committed myself to the Fairport triathalon for 2012. This will help me keep motivated throughout the winter months, and give me more accountability next year. I still need that accountability, and probably always will!
   I'm still working out at Perry, and taking Zumba at Painesville Twp. Park on Wed. nights. The second session just started up again so there's 4 weeks left this time around!! It's 8-9pm if you're interested! It's lots of fun!
    Another positive note, I was able to wrap a bath towel around myself the other day. The reason why escapes me, and I had done it without thinking, but afterwards, I had looked down, and noticed not only did I have it wrapped around, but there was extra towel left!! I have not done that in 30 yrs!! At least not with a regular towel. I done it with beach towels, and extra long bath towels, and I remember justifying the experiences somehow I'm sure.
     I hope everyone continues their weight loss! Life changes this I know. For being such a spastic person, I've discovered, like so many, I don't like change.....It's here, and I know there's more to come starting next week, so wish me luck, and keep me in your prayers, I really  need to be at peace with what life is offering me right now....
God Bless,
