"Prgress Not Perfection"
Day 8, still sick, on the down hill side now. I haven't worked out in 8 Days....I'm not freaking out. In the past, if I missed 8 days of working out and I was in a Challenge, I would be starting over by now. I would of quit. I'm improving. I want to thank everyone that stopped by my site and wished me a Happy Birthday, I really needed it. I was so sick that day and my thoughts were sooooooo negati...Assignment 14
A core belief that I held before.....When I was 11 years old I was molested by one of my Fathers workers, it went on for a year. Things were done to me that a couple might do to each other in a marriage. I have a childhood memory of sitting in church and the person on the stage read from the bible, "fornicators will not inherite God's kingdom" I asked my Mother, "what is a fornicator?" she said to me, "someone having sex ...Thought for the day
I wanted to share a conversation I had with my Mother this morning, first she was calling me because I turned 42 today, she leaves me a message that she counldn't belive she had me at the age of 33, that it's late in life and it's a miracle I turned out normal. I tell Paul this and he says, "No, that explains a lot of things, your Mom had you late in life" You have to imagine my Mother with a English accent. She's a character, love my m...We met up with Lepaca/Jody for our ride!
The Virginia girls showed us how to work out their style and we kicked some booty! 29 miles none stop. The leader of the pack was Maggie, she is a spin instructor, yeah! thanks Lepaca for that one. Lepaca has been training with this gal for her Triathalon. Paul and I did not know what we were getting ourselves into. We usually stop for coffee and enjoy ourselves, there was no stopping. She did let us stop ...Assignment 6
I'm starting my 12th week tomorrow and I was going back over notes I've taking along the way. I have a different system going on. Since I'm writting a book about my Adventure we are on, I have sticky notes everywhere and pamplets. We are going so fast past and learning so much along the way, I get a little cluttered with papers. So, looking over my notes I came across "Four basic shifts that recovering people need to make to put their lives ...What a great ride!
Went on the most amazing ride today, the Colonial Parkway in Virginia(26 miles) This ride went to #3 in my top 10 rides I've been on. It comes in behind Tahoe, CA and Yosemite National Park, all three places are breathtaking. Everyone have a safe weekend. Cheri ...Setting up for Success!
Yesterday I gathered up all my gear so I am ready at a moments notice to go on a ride, roller blade, snorkel or run. When we are driving around and checking out all these cool places, we say we are going to come back and do the bike trail or whatever it is and we never seem to make it back. So, I am ready to go. We rode around Yorktown, VA and covered a lot of ground on the bikes, it was great. Going back on Sat...What a day!
I finally got in that kickass bike ride that I've been wanting to do for weeks. 47 miles. My legs are feeling it and my Tender Tissues....LOL! What a great day. We had the perfect cloud coverage, it's so hot when that sun comes out with the humidity, it's not safe. Today was perfect. We rode down Hwy 12 to Hatteras Lighthouse, in North Carolina. Stopped at 23 miles and had breakfast, I pigged out! I...Assignment 5
I wasnt sure what my goals were when I started this Transformation. I just knew if I had one more fat lose goal I was going to scream, I've started so many Body-for-life 12 week programs, I can't count. I don't care what the scale says, I lift weights and so I am heavier by scale weight. Once upon a time I was obsessed with it. I had to let that one go about 10 years ago. My goal is to enter into a cycling race. ...From the "The Language of Letting Go"
I was doing my daily reading and this really hit home with me, I want to share.ACHIEVING HARMONY When a pianist learns a new piece of music, he or she does not sit down and instantly play it perfectly. A pianist often needs to practice each hand's work separately to learn the feel, to learn the sound. One hand picks out a part until there is a rhythm and ease in playing what is difficult. Then, the musician practices ...Assignment 12
Paying attention to my thinking the past two days, I realized that my thinking is effected by my energy levels. If I'm tired and didn't get a good night sleep, I'm not as patient and I let other peoples comments irritate me. I'm usually a very possitive person and in the past I've let other people influence my moods. I'm learning to go with the flow and relax. I'm learning that their baggage is theirs, not mine.&n...OMG!
Got up this morning and just about fell out of bed, my calves didn't want to work. The stadium stairs kicked my butt the other day. My bike ride was a little difficult, you need your legs to cycle...lol I still got thru it. This is some beautiful country here in North Carolina. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Cheri ...Before, back
Assignment #1 Completed. Better late than never. Have a great evening. Cheri...Finally posting my befor pixs
I was having problems transferring my before pixs 2 months ago, I forgot all about it. Here they are. Cheri...Happy Wednesday!
Another beautiful day. On the road again today, headed back to the coast. Very productive this morning, did my upperbody workout and worked my abs. Gave my little dog a haircut, if you want to call it that. She looks like she got into a cat fight and the cat won. I read daily out of "The Language of letting go", wonderful book. Todays reading is talking about Detachment. The example was given ab...Getting Creative!
We pulled in last night to Charlotte, NC right next to a Raceway, my first thoughts, look at the stadium stairs, that is tomorrows workout, looking for every opportunity. I just need to find a way to get in. I get ready this morning and walk over and find a worker, I asked if I could go in and use the stairs for my workout. He says, "No, it's a Liability" I told him I wasn't looking to sue him I just wanted to ge...Good Morning!
What a beautiful day and a new week. Starting week 10 and going strong. Had a great workout this morning, put on the Roller Blades and turned on my tunes and went for it, came back soaked. We are packed up and heading to North Carolina. What a great time here in Charleston, SC. Everyone have a great day. Cheri...The rest of the Story.....
To add to my earlier post, last night, I forgot about the bugs. I was so wrapped up in the beauty of this city and having such a great time looking around, I forgot about the bugs in the cemetary. This cemetary located at the Unitarian Church 1780/1854. The overgrown graveyard is a testament to the belief that nature should reassert itself. So, here I am, full on sweat, like I said 110 percent humidity and I'm getting attacked b...Had a great day!
It was a beautiful day! Even though it was 99 degrees and 110 percent humidity, it was awesome. I was walking the streets of Charleston, SC. This city is magnificent. The history here is amazing. We took a boat over to Fort Sumter, the first shots were fired on this fort that started the Civil War. This area at one time was the richest city in our Nation. So, there are a lot of beautiful home...Help!
How do you down load a slide show? I've tried to add to the video and it wont work. Any suggestions? Cheri...Travlngypsy
