A Virus....BLECK!

Well Justin and I woke up this morning still feeling crappy.  He and I headed to the doctor so we could be surrounded by 20 other sicker people.After strep tests and blood work it was determined we have a virus...a miserable virus.  Justin seems better this evening and I'm better to...thank God...we are heading into 2 full days of training and the last thing I want to be feeling is bad.

So of course I get weighed at the doctors office and I am not happy with the scale.  I'm sort of baffled with the number going up and down like they are.  I knew I wasn't great over the weekend and I have had my moments over the weekends but there should still be more progress especially at this point.

Seeing this has made my mind up and made me realize I need to attack this and stop this non sense.  I am going to give up processed foods and bad carbs completely for Lent.  I should be able to lose an easy 20 lbs. just by doing this.

I always feel like something gets in my way...like this week I wanted to start weight training at home; I can give you the 2 or 3 reasons why I did not but they are just damn excuses at this point.  I need to get that fight back into me...the fight I had a couple of years ago when I tackled whatever got in my way of eating well and working out.  Everything I need is either already embedded in me or at my fingertips.  Lent starts Wednesday...I'm going to mentally prepare myself for this and prove to myself that I can do this again.

I'm pretty excited about how things are going at work with our wellness program. Most participants are excited about what we are doing...others semed either concerned or nervous.  Of course there are always things that can be tweaked, but for the most part it is the most successful its ever been.  We had a couple of pretty excited participants this morning when we were playing with a new piece of equipment I picked up this weekend.  It just makes me smile to see how excited people get over some things.  It's pretty awesome.

Well I'm going to try to keep my blog daily once Lent begins; it's going to be tough times but I can do it!
