Good morning everyone - it's the Doll here for another installment on the blog! I hope everyone is having an awesome week so far. This week, I can honestly say I'm starting to see some improvement in my energy. Not a huge amount, but every little bit is a welcomed blessing.
So, I've been thinking about my 'Ah ha' moment - when it came, what hit me, how did I feel and what not. I'd say my moment came along time ago - it was around October and I realized that the way I was living was a detriment to my health. I have a beautiful daughter, and I want to see her grow into a lovely woman. Plus, I want to have another baby in the future and I would hate to bring another life into this world and I'm not there for him or her...or...him and her...or...him and him...or...her and her or....you know what I mean, lol!!! That would be no bueno - so I started doing a little more each day for my health. I've had my faults, set backs, and obstacles - my fair share and a fair share for a few other people. But today, I can honestly say I'm all in. Nothing feels better than completing a workout and looking down at my sweaty shirt with pride. I have times in my workouts when I feel as though I may die and expire right on my den floor. When that happens, I take a little break and look in the mirror to tell myself 'stop being a baby and do this!!!!'. That's usually the kick in the butt I need to get back at it.
Last night was a testimate. I was faced with that 'ain't now way I'm getting this workout done!' 68 minutes of cardio leg blast with Cathe - yes...68 minutes! But, I did it - and you know what?!?!?! I was so glad I stuck through every hard moment because I felt amazing. And...I'm doing it all over again tonight (not legs, but another DVD).
So all-in-all, my 'ah ha' moment lies in the fact that I want to be forever young. I want to be able to run and play with my kid and my grand kids. When I retire, I want to travel the world to see things I've never seen, and do things I've never done. This chick won't be old and breaking down any time soon!
Smooches!!!
