I am pooped today! I am happy to say that I did my exercises! I will write my Love Pages later. I think I am going to look into the P90X Meal Planner. It seems like a lot of food... but I think they know more than I do... Surprise! Surprise!
I have worked out every day and plan to stick with it. Today is the first day I felt like I was going to throw up. I think I needed more protein than I had today. I'm also a bit tired from my big Vaca... I know, what's up with that!?!
Today, I did my BEST and forgot the REST! For those of you making shifts in your lives... YOU CAN DO IT!! Do Your BEST and FORGET the REST!!
Gotta go have my recovery drink! Later gator!!

Exercising on vacation!?!?? Who's doing that! I AM!!
HELLO WORLD!
Just so you know I am on vacation this week. We left on Sunday after exercising! Kenpo X was a blast on Sunday! I actually did the correct number of reps on almost all the moves. LOVE IT!! We exercised Monday and Tuesday mornings with lots of site seeing afterwords. This is my FIRST vacation to put exercising into my agenda! A new way of living is beginning to form in my world!! It makes me so happy and proud of myself. I am almost crying. For those of you who have the habit of exercise, this may not seem so big to you. It is HUGE for me! I feel my world and life transforming before my very eyes. It is such a blessing to be living in this moment! I know what I want and I'm going for it! Watch out world! Here I come!!
Today, we decided to wait until we arrived at our Timeshare which would be bigger for us to exercise. See, we have a friend we are turning on to P90X! She's been exercising with us but on the correct days...starting at Day 1. That's why we needed a bit more space.... Guess what I did today??? Yoga X! If you've read earlier blogs, you know that Yoga X kicked my butt the first time, especially, that I did it. Well, today was me kicking Yoga X!! I did almost all the planks and as many moves as I could! It felt great!! I was in the Zone! I felt centered and present with what I was doing. WOW!! What a change from Day 4! I'm getting stronger, leaner, more flexible, and DOING MY BEST AND FORGETTING THE REST! That's what it takes!! If I can do it, I know you can as well!
After I exercised, I wrote in my LOVE pages. It was a sweet time because I had just completed Yoga X, doing the best that I had ever done. I also read from my devotional. Something hit me from the day before about committing to a spiritual practice for 30 days. That's what I've been doing! It's exciting!! As I looked back at my devotional just now, I realized I had read next weeks' Wednesday... Oh well, God knows what we need, when we need it. :) I love the path that I am on. I encourage you to take a look at the path that you are on. Is it the one you truly want to be on? If not, figure out what it is you do want! What brings you JOY in life? What are your DREAMS? Write them down. Set a plan in motion. GO FOR IT!!
Love yourself where you are, as you are, who you are!!

Day 23 P90X and Love Pages
Hello world!
I am very proud of myself for following the P90X daily workout regimen! It has been amazing! I can tell I'm getting stronger and more flexible. My body is beginning to move again! It's very exciting! Today we exercised in the morning because we are picking up a friend for a week vacation in the mountains. We wanted to get our workout in for the day so we can spend time with our friend. I actually feel energized! :) It's a nice feeling!
I have to be honest with you about my Love Pages. I missed one day and almost yesterday. I could tell a big difference in my days. I wasn't focused. I doubted myself. I didn't have patience. 2 hard days. Last night I knew I wanted to at least write yesterday's Love pages before I fell asleep. I didn't want to miss another day. Writing in the Love pages was just what I needed to end my day on a positive note full of love and appreciation.
I realize that it is important to continue to write my Love pages and take the time I need for my spiritual transformation as well as taking the time for my physical transformation. So, here's to a new day with my Love Pages! 2 in a row now. I'll keep it up! One day at a time! One moment at a time!
DO MY BEST AND FORGET THE REST!!!

Day 21 ... I'm still "X-ing"!!
Hello again, hello!
It's been awhile. When I noticed that today is Day 21 I knew it was the right day to blog some more... 21 is 12 backwards... Hee Hee!
Let's get down to business! I'm still X-ing!! I love it! It feels good to look forward(for the most part) exercising. I will admit not every day is like Yippee, today is... But I have stuck with each day of exercise as well as each day of Love Pages. There have been a few days of exercising later than I intended due to family stuff. I made this commitment and I intend on sticking to it!
The really cool thing is that I see improvement! I can actually do some of the Ab-Ripper X that I couldn't do before. I got up to 5 of the "V" ones near the end of Ab-Ripper X. It's exciting even if I can only do 5. I actually feel muscles in my stomach that I'm sure have never been there before. I keep pressing play like Tony says! I do my best and forget the rest!! That's all I can do!
I also may have a calf muscle forming... SHOCKER!! I love it! I'm able to do lunges better and can feel my thighs hurt a bit the next day. That means something inside got some work... Right!?! :)
Today is a rest day or a stretch day. I have decided to rest from exercising... but I did vacuum my entire house. So, that is a type of small exercise... at least in my book. Tomorrow we begin Week 4 which is mostly toning and stretching. My body needs some recovery time. But I am loving my body changing.
One thing that wasn't so great was when I got on the scale this morning... the numbers weren't as low as I expected them to be... :( But! I know my body is changing. I feel like I am slimming down or re shifting... It's all good! I know I am moving better and eating better! It's a lifestyle shift that I'm doing! One day at a time!!
My LOVE pages have been very empowering! I am very thankful for them. I find new depths to the love I have for myself as well as new depths of love I have for others. Life Shifting again!!
Whatever you are into that will shift your life for the better... stick with it! One day, one moment at a time! Live for today!!
That's it for now!! Remember... It's all good!

Day 12 and still going!
Hello!
It's the end of Day 12 and I'm pretty wiped out to say the least! I'm not sure if my long days over the weekend are catching up with me... but today my body felt tired. I took my time getting out of bed today. I decided to be happy for a new day and thankful for all that was ahead of me.... Lunges!
My LOVE PAGES have been so astounding to me. At first I wrote about all the people who loved me and whom I love. Then, I started to feel this power build up within me by the love I began to feel for myself and for others. When I truly LOVE myself, I have the capacity to love others more, to love situations more, to love Lunges even! There is a power and healing in love that we can tap into if we allow LOVE into our lives more, experience LOVE for ourselves more, share LOVE with others! I didn't expect these LOVE pages to have this depth into my being that they are having. It is magical! It is powerful! It can be yours if you choose to allow LOVE into your life!! Needless to say, my morning started out on a deep spiritual awakening that overflowed into the rest of my day!
Lunges awaited me this afternoon... and earlier than usual because we went to the TV Studio to film The JoyStream TV and attend our Toastmaster meeting in Greensboro. It is harder when I have to leave the house after working out. Exhausting to say the least! I am very pleased to share with you that I definitely did more today than I did last week on the lunges! There were NO temper tantrums... only peace for me and lots of SWEAT! I made my intention early in the day to be present with the lunges, to do my very best on this workout! I am EXHAUSTED!! It's a good exhaustion because I truly know I gave my P90X workout my very best!
Now, I am asking my healthy cells to flow through my body and replenish and restore my cells that were extended today... my muscles, my joints, my ligaments, my tendons... am I missing anything!? I know that my Divine God is in me and can replenish me now and during the night. I say "Thank you" to my entire physical body and spiritual body for a wonderfully full day! Good night to everyone and here's to a great day!

Sticking with the Program!
Hello my friends!
Over the weekend I attended a class for 2 full days that changed my schedule a bit. I was able to write my LOVE pages in the morning before class and EXERCISE when I got home after 7pm. Needless to say this is not ideal... I stuck to my commitment for both days and I am very proud of myself!! I actually looked forward to coming home to P90X! That's exactly my plan. I want to look forward to exercising each day not only for my 90 days but for the rest of my life!
During the 2 days, I ate pretty well too. I stayed away from the chocolate except for a few homemade turtles! Speaking of food, I think I better close so I can make my turkey burger delight for lunch. :)
Today is Day 10! Yippee!! Today is YOGA... got my butt kicked last week. Bring it on! Later gator!

Day 8 and feeling GREAT.... for now!
Hello world!
I'm on Day 8 of my 90 Days. I've stuck to my plan of action for both areas, Spiritually and Physically. Yesterday, was a rest day for P90X. We did go for a walk to stretch our legs. I actually missed not working out. This is GREAT!! That's exactly what I want to happen. I want my body to desire the exercise each day. A daily workout routine will be a big change for me!
I did meditate and write my LOVE PAGES! The more I soak in LOVE for myself and for others, the stronger I feel spiritually and emotionally. I will try and find the words to express what I am feeling. A feeling wells up within me and it is very strong and powerful. I have an amazing sense of contentment and peace. My goals are set for my Health and Wealth! Thank you Sheila for introducing me to LOVE PAGES!
As I said, today is Day 8 of P90X. We did a little more rearranging. We bought an over the door resistant band contraption thingy to use instead of pull ups for now. Maybe at the end of the year or so I will attempt a pull up. The push ups are hard enough! I am doing my push ups using my kitchen counter top for now. It works and I got a pretty darn good work out today. Needless to say, my arms are much more tired than last week. This is a good thing I have to remember. The last time I felt like this was my freshman year in college after we lifted weights for basketball. I could barely brush my teeth for days. Forget about fixing my hair! Glad I'm a low maintenance kind of girl now! I don't even use a hairbrush. My hair will be fine. And, I'll brush my teeth, somehow!
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more!
