I'm doing well! I think I need to schedule days off so I don't get burned out. I found a new sport that I love: indoor rowing. I think it will be a complimentary way to cross-train with the jump rope, as sometimes my shins get sore. Yesterday, I had a Kobe Steakhouse day! It was good, but so salty!!! Looking forward to fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato sandwich on Ezekiel bread for lunch today... going to hit the indoor row machine mid-day and then off to a Beachbody class tonight! I'm so excited because I haven't been able to do it for five months since my Monday nights were taken up with school.

Your post "I know its tough but if we keep it up now, just think how good we will look and feel this summer!!!" reminds me of the book I am reading.. in it there is a statement that reads:

"Any one thing you do is only a scene in a larger movie. To understand that action, you have to play it out all the way to the end of the movie. After viewing the entire film you can decide whether you really want a particular scene in the movie of your life. If it alters the plot or your story, or takes you to other scenes that you do not want to live out, or even causes the movie itself to have a different ending that you had plotted, then you do not want it. No matter how inviting the scene itself is, you do not want it.

Conversely, if it alters the plot of your story in a direction you would want to go; if it creates later scenes that you would want to live out, then you might indeed want to add that scene. No matter how hard the scene itself is, you might want to choose it.

Play now, pay later. Pay now, play later. We teach this to six-year-olds. How much better our adult lives would be if would always live it out ourselves."

I did not have a good week last week, many things going on in my life. But, I am determined to make this week a better one. I cannot change the past, I can only work on the present.

Thanks for checking in, it really does help
