The Race Is ON!
Ginger and I have been friends since 1985 so we have literally grown up together and so have our kids. After that much time as friends you could say we are more like family. So there are periods that go by when we don’t chat as much or that we just get too wrapped up in our own lives to see one another. It’s been since September that we last seen one another in person. Until I get an invite to her grandson’s first birthday party. When I got there and seen her I noticed that she had lost some weight. Not a lot but it was noticeable.
That’s all it took. Challenge accepted!
Yeah, I’m competitive. She will never know that she is in a race with me to lose weight. OK- it may be a little one sided but I know her well enough that she is doing the same thing. A quiet unspoken competition between the two of us. Just like in Christmas with the Krank’s when the two ladies are going after the last Mel’s Hickory Honey Ham. Yeah, exactly like that! Unspoken yet they know they both want the same thing. (Yet, in my ending the ham isn’t ran over by a truck). The one with the better toned and most weight lost wins.
Let the race…….BEGIN!!!!
Dog Question
Why do my dogs tear up their toys like it is something that they just killed and are about to devor?
How do I stop them?
My Theme Song
Everyone has a theme song. Everyone. You may not know it or have herd it but it is there. Somewhere waiting for you to hear it. Understand it. Live it.
The theme often changes. When I was younger it was always something that was heavy Rock n Roll. But just like the remote to my TV the buttons are there for a reason. I get bored with the same ole’, same ole’. Then it’s time to change the channel. So…. If I had to pick a song to be my theme it would be
Unwritten~ by Natasha Bedingfield. First because I am an aspiring writer and it is very relative to my writing process. Second because it spells out my weight loss journey and other things that I am finding on my trek down the mountain.
~ chorus ~
“ Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten “
WHAT’S YOUR THEME SONG?
Spring Has Arrived!
The grass is greening up. The temperatures have been amazing. I am motivated every day to get up, go outside, and play. Play in my flower beds. Play with my kids. Play with my dogs.
However, the lack of leaves on the trees reminds me that it is still March. This is not a typical end to winter. The wind is still chilly and bites at my exposed skin. Birds are still returning from their winter down south. There is still an air of hibernation all around.
I have been saying that I am in a “cocoon” or “on an island”. When the end of June rolls around I will post a picture of the changed me. As motivating as that is… I still have been like the nature around, in hibernation. Sure, I get up and exercise. Once a week. That doesn’t count does it? No, I didn’t think so.
Still, all of this is inspiring me to change as well. Like the sleepy trees sprouting their new buds, and the birds fresh from their winter away. I will be stepping up my routine or lack thereof. Taking my cue from nature and slowly getting back into the active lifestyle I use to have in my younger city life. Shaking off my winter blues and grays. Stepping into my bright greens and pinks.
Look out world, there is a new lady slowly emerging.
