Today is going much better then yesterday. I am really beginning to see the difference just in how my attitude can influence so much more and my entire day/life. That is a positive step for me.

Getting things done & exercising makes me feel so much better. It just makes me feel alive. I love this feeling.

Anyways today I was exercising and I started feeling like giving up. I tried thinking of the people on biggest loser because seeing them being bigger then me and working so much harder then me and pushing themselves usually motivates me to power through but I was having none of it today lol

Then all of a sudden I remembered the song Fighter by christina aguilera

"Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter "

But I couldn't remember any of the words to the song right then lmao.

But it stuck with me FIGHTER. I am a fighter. I am a strong powerful AMAZON Goddess! I pictured myself thin, firm, strong, clad in leather with a sword. Ready to do battle. Nothing in this world would dare stand in my way.

All of a sudden boom it wasn't too hard. I picked up my pace and powered through it.

And it really made me think, THIS is a battle. A battle for my life, my health, for everything I want and everything I am. I have to fight. Fight against all my self doubt, self hate, insecurities, demons, voices in my head, against laziness, and distractions. Agains the easy way out.

I am not 100% sure mantra is the right word lol But this image of me as the Amazon is burned into my head now. I am a fighter. I won't give up. Every step, every push will just make me stronger. I can do it. I can do anything!


On another totally unrelated note. I am getting a kitten today! Well in a few hours actually alittle calico girlly who we will call Klhoe to do along with our K names. Our cats- Kami (rip), Kisa, Keeba, Kye. We actually didn't start out trying to do all K names it just happened but the DH likes it and says it must be a K name now lol

So a co-worker of his had a stray mommy kitty give birth in her yard lol She has kindof been watching out for them and feeding them. She is going to take in the mom and was finding homes for all the kittens. My DH couldn't say no and once he told me I couldn't either lol. I love calico's I had one when I was alittle girl and my neighbors stole her! (Who steals a little girls kitten really??)

Anyways on the other side I know it is sooo stupid. We already have 3 cats. (& 2 parakeets) and live in an apartment.... I swore up and down no more cats and that in the future no more then 2. No we are back up to 4 (our lovely princess Kami passed away in September taking us down to 3)

We are insane lol

And the DH says I can't talk about the new kitten on facebook at all because he doesn't want his family to know because they will think we are crazy(crazier lmao)

Anyways I am getting pizza for dinner. eek. No it is good. The other week I had a binge on pizza and way way over ate. Today I am strong. I will be a good girl. I counted it in my calories.

Week 3- keep moving forward!

Exercise Today:
House Cleaning (Yes it counts lol more calories burned then if I were sitting on my butt! lol)
Wii My Fitness Coach~ 30 mins (141 calories burned)
Food Tracked Jan 17th-

Today was ok. I decided to do some super cleaning today (very early spring clean lol). Scrub scrub scrub. It took a bit and had me feeling pretty tired afterwards so it kindof pushed back my exercise plans for the day.

But I still worked out. Did My Fitness Coach as usual. I had to stop in the middle to try and stretch out. My calves are just killing me. Mostly my left one. And it just was too much to keep going without a break.

It isn't like omg rush to the doctor pain or anything. I am not injured! Just that soreness that you get after you like go for a long walk and then afterwards are sore all over.

My muscles are just used to be lazy and not getting any work. So it is to be expected. But I wasn't sure what I should do.

I asked on sparkpeople and got some great help.

So I am gonna just take a super cardio break tomorrow. I will do yoga and maybe try some of the wii boxing.

A Good Day

First I love that I decided at the start to mark my calender and have a spark streak # posted on my wall. Updating my number & seeing it posted there is just such beautiful motivation!

Up to an 11 day streak so far woohoo!!!

Today started off slow and sleepy. I keep staying up late with the DH and then I just am tired the next day. Must get to bed earlier grrrr.

But I knew i had stuff to do and pushed myself to get it done. I cleaned the house a bit, cleaned the birds cage. Then worked out.

I love MY Fitness Coach for the WII. I can't say that enough lol. It pushes me my hardest. Like they say if you have a hard time talking you know you are working hard lol and the whole time I am panting feeling like omg I can't go on. But somehow how the routine is set up you can get through it. and boom next thing you know it is over. and I LOVE how you end the workout.

I then watched the biggest loser and did the Wii Free step for 30 mins during it.

I am doing very good eating today. yay.

I am just feeling so good.
