~~Magical Monday Morning~~

Good morning everyone!Ok, after dealing with dressing room mirrors and a zipper that didn't want to go up this weekend,I am ready to get it in gear.I sat down this morning and made a workout plan and wrote out ideas for healthy meals.Most definitely time to look at my diet.I'm thinking about the women on the board as I do it.Donna came to mind because of the awesome job she has done with her weight the past few months.I know she has made changes to her diet and seen great results.I keep thinking that she "just did it". She didn't just think about it or talk about it, she did it.I think about Shar and the changes she has made and the results she has seen.I think about Kat who works incredible hours and still gets her fitness in.I think about Deb who works her tail off to stay fit and how she has fun doing it.Lori is dealing with health issues and still finding ways to get a workout in.As are others.I think about those of you who do it before work, after work, whenever you can get it in.So I'm inspired by all of you to get with it.Maybe we can each take this week to look at our goals and motivate and support each other.Let's have some fun while we do it too.

So it's Monday, where do you want to be come Friday?With a week of good fitness behind you?A week of eating well and making small changes that pay off?Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with fitness.Maybe you have work goals you want to reach. Maybe you want to find time for yourself this week.Whatever your goal , set it and work towards it.On Friday we'll all celebrate our success.

Hope the weather is ok for eveyone, so many storms everywhere.Hot and streamy here.

Anyone have a 15 min project today?Anyone have a tough job they will be glad to get done?

Hope you each have something Magical happen today!!!!Enjoy your day!

Miss P

Exactly; a fresh week, a fresh start!!!!I'm terrible for saying "tomorrow" when it comes to eating better.Just think how great we feel on Friday when(not if) we stick with it this week.

Sybil is alive and well at my house.I'm cranky and snarly and can barely stand to be with myself!!!Then I have a major mood swing and end up in tears.I am determined not to let Evil Flo undo me this month.One of us is going down and I plan on it being her!!!

You got on the scales when Sybil is in town????What were you thinking???? :)Great job on getting that workout in.

Good for you for trying a new class! I think with the health issues you've faced you are doing an awesome job with your workouts.I think you don't give yourself nearly enough credit!!!!Food!!!!I'm like a dog chasing my tail with that issue.It seems like the harder I work to eat better the more tempted I am but what I shouldn't be having!!!Just tell me I can't have something and I want it all the more.

Just before Flo hits land I get so tired and that is when I blow off workouts.But sometimes you really do just need a break and taking it helps you come back stronger than ever.Any woman who flips a duster is pretty awesome in my book!!!Good luck with your workout tonight!!!!

Sorry to hear about the letter.I don't quite understand her suing you!!!It seems like you were much more at risk than her.Hope it all works out.

Being out in the garden sounds nice!

LOL Whatever his reason for doing the windows, it's great of him to do them.Can't say I blame him for not putting a 40 pound lions head on his shoulders!!!

I do well with workouts for awhile then typically I crash and burn.Hope to keep it going this summer.I was reading your post about food and wishing I could say that.Now that I really admire.

Hope you made it to the beach.

I am right there with you on the pimple issue.Some days between the clearisil and the concealer I feel like I'm playing connect the dots!!

Sounds like lots of fitness for you today.How is the foot feeling?
