Waves

That's what I find my blogging comes in....waves. It really isn't an indication of how I'm doing, it's an indication of how busy my life is....and my priorities. Sorry...the blog is pretty far down on the list right now. And it's also about how creative I'm feeling, and I'm really not feeling the writing thing. Odd, because I'm DEFINITELY a talker! ;)

I've finally hit my 30 lbs off mark. BUT....I'm working, day by day, to NOT get caught up with the NUMBER! It's just a NUMBER! A number does NOT define me. The smaller sizes help me indicate more of how I'm doing. The way I FEEL is how I can tell how I'm doing. I'm making a point to stay focused on my goals....each and EVERY day. This is COMPLETELY becoming a lifestyle change for me. A LIFE change. It isn't a contest for me anymore. I just needed The Greatest Thriver to give me a kick start and an accountability and a good long look at how I was living with my addiction to food. Yep! I said ADDICTION! And I'm kickin' that addiction to the curb! And like most addictions, I have to CHOOSE to make the right choices and sometimes I fall....but the difference at this time in my life is that I get RIGHT back on and move FORWARD...not back.

Be TRUE to yourself. By making excuses you aren't hurting anyone but yourself. CHOOSE to live a healthy, guilt-free lifestyle of eating.....I am, and it sure is paying off!

A New Fire!

I think a new fire has been lit under me! Do you have ANY idea what 22 people, an instructor with a mic on, and an incredible atmosphere can do for a gal in the middle of a spin class that she's never tried once in her life?? :) Let me tell you...it was a solid hour of nothin' but S.W.E.A.T! And it felt GOOOOOOD!! :)

I'm on vacation in Tennessee...visiting some wonderful friends, and it just so happens that only a short 3 minute drive from their house brings you to the most amazing fitness complex I've ever seen or experienced. It's called The Rush. Check out their website... http://www.therush247.com/ It truly is a RUSH of adrenaline, energy, excitement, etc.

I'm indulging a little bit once in a while, but still making very wise choices and trying to get in a lot of water....this week, the workouts aren't the issue! :) I'm praying to keep last weeks momentum up, as I lost 6 lbs in one week....I have a specific goal in mind for the week of Easter, and that's only a week and a half away! Staying away from the chocolate bunnies and Reeces eggs! LOL!

I'm off once again to work out...I pray each of you find your groove and know deep within your heart that you're SO worth every calorie you're counting and every drop of sweat you're sweating!

Blessings!
Kim
