Good Morning T-Friends ~ I am off to the gym to get a great workout in! Hope you all have a great day! Look for your time to yourself to find your peacefulness!! It is a major factor in Transforming your mind, body and spirit!! JUST DO IT! ...
Peaceful is such a great way to be!! I have been taking the time to have an hour of quiet time for myself each and every day. It is very hard to do with four kids, a hubby, a dog and a house that needs to be kept clean, who all need me! It is so important for us to have some quality time to ourselves to think, reflect, plan and just plain relax. I have been sitting outside (before it gets too cold and snowy) and ...
Hello T-family!! I have missed all of you! I have been super busy with the kids and their schedules!! I am having a hard time getting on here. There is always so much to do and not enough time. I need to tighten up my schedule. I miss getting on here and sharing my success and progress! I am doing really good, but want to be doing great. It is so hard with all of the running that I am doing, but I a...
I am learning so many new things about myself and what I am capable of through this challenge!! Each day a new ability is discovered and the creative juices are flowing!! Looking forward to what is to come! I plan on changing up my exercise routine this week. I have been doing the BFL style lifting and am changing it up just a little bit. Time to challenge those muscles!! I want to lean out, gain strength and to...

Looking forward to taking half way pics soon and comparing them to the first ones!! Wishing you all great, strong workouts daily!! I find that when I spread the happinesss and encouragement that I am feeling to those around me, it makes my workou...
WOW Clarissa is awesome with all of her ideas!! I loved my workout this morning!! I did 10 mins on 6 different machines. These would be ~ Arc trainer, recumbant bike, Cross trainer, Rowing machine, Stairmill and treadmill!! My girlfriend worked out with me and we had a great time! It definitely kicked my butt!! My legs are sore from yesterday's LBWO and today they are even more so from all of the different mach...
Ok, I am officially a workout junkie!! I just love the pumped up feeling after a great Upper or Lower Body workout!! Today was leg day, but I had missed my upperbody workout from Friday, so made that up today also. Great workouts today!! Had a few nice remarks from some people in the gym about my how my physique is changing!! It is always nice when people notice a change and make a remark!! I always try to comment on...
It is amazing how energizing and motivating Monday mornings can be!! After such a busy weekend, you would think that we would want to sleep in, well not me!! I was really energized and ready to get to the gym and eat clean! I had a great workout, it was time to change things up and WOW, I am sore today! I did well with me eating and my UBW was fantastic!! Today was HIIT and wow did I hit it!! I was sweating pretty da...
Our 2 day trip to Sandusky, Ohio was really fun!! The hubby and the older 2 boys (12,11) had a great time riding the rollercoasters!! They have the most rollercoasters of any of the theme parks. This one called the Top Thrill Dragster ~ Goes from o to 120 mph in 4 second and the ride lasts only 17 seconds total!! It is really something to see!! I don't do coasters, so I took the youngest boy (8) with me and we did so...
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.A nurse took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. She saw him looking at his watch and decided, since she was not busy with another patient, she would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was w...
WOW!! I just can't believe how anger, frustration, etc.............................. can make you have a much better workout. I work hard during my workouts, but last nights was above that!! I was tired and didn't think that it was going to be a very good workout, but WOW was I wrong! I am a bit down with myself this morning, because the alarm went off and I turned it off, was ready to get up and fell back to sleep!! ...
Today I felt like a taxi driver I was in and out all day today with the kids!! My daughter is doing Crew, and we have to be at the boat house by 6:00 am. I didn't feel good this morning and my right wrist was bothering me something awful. I took her, and then came home and went back to sleep until 8:00 am. I guess I really needed the sleep! I then picked her up and took her to her babysitting job, picked up my o...

MY TRANSFORMATION PURPOSE IS : To be the best "ME" that I can be each day that I am allowed to LIVE!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!! Ours was nice but quiet!! July is a sad month for me, I lost my loving mother in July of 2003. It really doesn't get easier! I do my best to keep upbeat and make sure that the kids have a great time on Independence Day! I took my free day today and it was great. I like to have a "controlled free day" just some treats. I don't do all out "free days" as ...
Today was a great day! Got my workout done and got good meals in!! Feeling really good and think that I have lost a few pounds. I am weighing myself once a week, so will update on Monday! Also, I am trying to learn from the "mistakes of the past", moving forward and really paying attention to my body and what it is telling me! Need to eat more or less, need to pump up the cardio, lift heavier, etc..............
I didn't so well with my planning for today, so my meals were a little bit off schedule! We went over to my dad's house (he is 84) to help him open the pool. It was a good workout actually! We had a fun time. My hubby, daughter and niece were really buzzing along. Dad is having a harder time with his legs and back and can't do what he used to be able to do, but still tries to do it all! I started my day with a snack,...
I am a litte bit late posting, but better late than never! Day 2 went pretty good, could have been better. I am getting better about making small changes that will soon become large changes!! Energy level is up! Woohoo! Overall today was a good day. I was on target most of the day! My SIL and I took the kids to a minor league baseball game at our stadium here. I did the best I could do with the choices that wer...
Today is day 1 of the "Be the Change" Challenge and I am really excited about this. I have done Bill's BFL program quite a few times and love it and had good results, but not great. I would do awesome for a good while and then self-sabatoge for reasons that I am looking deep to find the answers for. I WILL NOT self-sabatoge this time.This is gonna be the challenge that changes all of that and gives me the mind and body...
