Today is a sad day... A good friend of mine passed away. He was such a sweet man. We worked together for a few years. I left that job a couple of years ago. We mainly stayed in touch on Face Book. I loved seeing the postings of his wife, kids and grand kids. He just lit up in the photo's of his grand kids. He was so proud.
It was beautiful to see how much he loved his wife. This was his second wife. They married a year of so ago... FINALLY..lol They had been together about 10 years. I'm so happy they did... it made him so happy.
He really embraced life. The expression lived out loud really applies to him. He lived with no apologies and always a smile. We always sent messages regarding getting together soon... you know the ones...Hey, lets have dinner next week sometime... Sure..Let me know when! And that week would go by... and so the cycle would repeat. But guess what? There are no more weeks.
R.I.P. Pops.... You were loved by many and you will be sorely missed. God has another angel today!
OK...I'll be the first to admit it, sometimes my follow through isn't the best. Yes I have great intentions... but I get in my head. I have a cheat day. Not because I necessarily plan the cheat day, but maybe I have a bad day at work. Or I get bad news about a friend or family member. I then do what all (or most) emotional eaters do... I eat. I find my go to comfort food. I'll get some fried chicken for dinner. Or maybe some fresh bread. Something like that... or I eat dinner at 8 or 9 o'clock.
I'll tell myself...I'll start my workouts tomorrow. And guess what??? Tomorrow ends up being a tough day...and then I'll tell myself..well maybe the next day...after all, I have all these groceries now. I can't work out and have all this bad food. I'll just eat this first. Yup..and before you know it, another week has passed. And while all that is happening, my body is getting old and larger... my health is being affected by these bad decisions and excuses.
So I am telling myself this...actually promising myself. I AM STARTING MY T25 WORKOUT ON MARCH 11, 2014. My plan is to complete 2 rounds and 1 round of The 21 Day Fix before my 48th birthday. I will be finishing the fix just before it. There is no reason I can't get this done... it's just 25 minutes a day. And what kind of coach would I be if I can't get myself in shape and honor my commitments. I want to be an inspiration to someone else...
I will be posting videos of my workouts...and my weekly meal plans. I will be checking in here every day or so about my work outs, food and shakeology.
