I was
busy at work and texted my niece to say I would be running 10-15 minutes
behind. I offered that if that was too late that we could reschedule – which we
did. I intended on going to the gym and doing some cardio, but then I logged in
to work from home. Oh how I love work and VPN access! However, I got carried
away and next thing I knew it was close to midnight.
I feel
like I should have worked out and I do miss it. I’m ok with missing it though
as it is ok to have a day off here and there. But I don’t want this to become a
habit. So tonight, I will hit the gym after work!
There
are two other things I am tremendously proud of. Lately, I have been telling
everyone how I am finally doing a new activity daily and it is making a HUGE
difference in my life. Every morning I wake up and choose my mood. It’s
something most, if not all, of us have heard at one time or another, but it
truly works! Every single day I wake up and decide that nobody will be able to
bring me down….and they don’t! I don’t get sucked in by someone else’s
negativity. That is the mood THEY chose. So I figured that if I could do that,
I could stick to others things. The two new things I have consistently done are:
1) drink enough water all through the day (this was a very difficult task for
me in the past and I have to make a conscious effort in order to get this
done). 2) I am now smoke free! A very
large number of you didn’t even know I was a smoker. After finding out I had
cancer, I became a smoker. Makes sense, right? HA! That was after the first
time I had cancer….then I’d quit….then I’d get cancer….then I’d start. Well, I
never really enjoyed it for the last while and after a little rough patch and
wanting to say “this is too hard, I’ll just have one”, I finally got over the
hump. I’m not having nicotine fits! I also have come to understand the reality
that I am not a person who can just have a social cigarette.
I don’t
know how my mind has changed…how everything has finally clicked, but I do know
that every ounce of me (and that’s a LOT of ounces) is on board with this! This
is my time to shine. I have made some incredibly positive changes in my life
and it is all coming together: an absolutely incredible working environment;
incredible Vinancial opportunities (get it? ViSalus + Financial….I just came up
with that); and a new healthy lifestyle.
Who
wants to join me on this journey? This is the best I have ever felt mentally,
emotionally, financially and health wise. Well…health wise is coming along….it’s
on the right track!
