You ready for some quotes? Oh, I’ve got quotes… Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down. ~Mary Pickford As I read through several weigh in posts on Wednesday, [...]
One day last week, I really wasn’t feeling my work out at all. I kind of wanted to just skip it and forget about it. But I didn’t. I got my work out clothes on, filled up my water bottle, and popped a DVD in. Usually on these days, once I get the work out [...]
Lately, things for me have been one of those times that life has just happened. I’ve had this to do or that to do OR this has happened and that has happened. So, some things have had to give, which mainly means work outs. Truth is, with everything that has been going on, I just [...]
Can I be honest? Yes, you say? Why thank you…(kisses) I have been lacking motivation. There. Phew, I said it. It’s off my chest now. Do any of you need to get that off yours too? (please do and we will re-group together) I’ll spare the excuses (because I’m good at them). It is what [...]
I had a little bit of a mental breakdown the other day. I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed with life in general and I’ve been reading time management books and thinking about what I can do to change my life. I was walking around the house trying to figure out how to finish the sentence “I [...]
I’m fresh off my trip to Fitbloggin’ (which explains the lateness of this post, because HELLO, I haven’t slept in days and need to catch up!), and I am bursting at the seams with motivation. Let me share a some of my motivation with you! Motivation is finally meeting some of the amazing Sisters you’ve [...]
My own motivation has been a little lax lately. There’s no real reason…it just happens every once in a while. You’re coasting along and every thing is hunky dory. Suddenly, you realize that you are sitting like a bump on a log, you haven’t exercised in a week and yes you did eat a whole [...]
Most Sundays, my parents make the 1 1/2 hour drive south to our house to visit, maybe help us out with a house project, and have dinner. I love seeing them, even though I’m pretty sure the main draw for them is the grandkid. (Okay, not pretty sure, I’m positive. My mom flat out TELLS [...]
By show of hands (and I want them raised high because I can see you. Yes I can.), how many of you are afraid to fail? How many of you that are afraid to fail, then avoid things BECAUSE you are afraid you’ll fail? Or give yourself a hard time for failing? It really hurts [...]
Since I was a little kid, I’ve always been negative realistic. In some ways, it serves me well, but largely it sets me up for failure. After all, it’s a defense mechanism. Expect the worst, but hope for the best – and by anticipating bad things, I may not try as hard to meet my [...]
