Have a lean, powerful, energetic body that matches the woman inside it

I’m satisfied. This is not to say that I’m at my leanest, strongest or have six-pack abs! But you know what? That doesn’t matter to me now. I’m happy. I feel good. I’m healthy. I’m making healthy choices and I’m taking care of myself spiritually.

Iggy and I took a walk and it felt so good. With each step I really felt like I was doing something good for both of us. I felt stronger and healthier. I feel healthier in so many ways. My life feels more in perspective, my time is my own (for the most part), I’m moving forward. These changes aren’t just physical; I feel healthier spiritually. I’m finding balance. I’m making time for what’s important to me.

after taking Iggy for a walk and bringing him back home. It felt good. I ran much further than I had expected to be able to without needing to slow down or stop. Then I became aware and suddenly felt the need to walk. Had I not realized what was happening, would I have ran even further without difficulty? Hmmm…I wonder how to put this to the test?

My jeans fit better today than they did several days ago. :)

Iggy and I went for a short walk this morning.

Last night I worked in the yard, planting lettuce and cucumber (to accompany the already thriving tomatoes and herbs!). I also ate a good-sized healthy meal of chicken, corn, potatoes and salad, apple juice and water, leaving me feeling satisfied.

I love how it’s phrased!

I had been doing very well with my eating and exercising habits. However, the last several weeks to month I have been gradually slacking more and more. I really need to get back to where I was (and beyond).

Started this morning by getting my butt out of bed early and taking my dog on a mile walk. That was a great start. It’s time to focus as I’ve noticed a difference lately in how I feel (I feel better when I’m active and eating healthy). A few areas to focus on…

Healthy eating
Walking regularly
Hand-weight training
Crunches
Push-ups
Stretching
Bike riding
Good nights’ sleep
Lunges
