“I must break the routines and become a person who becomes productive every Monday. I must break the mindset of unhappiness and turn myself into a happy magnet for Mondays.” ~Leggy Saul

Monday, May 18th

Monday morning. Not just any Monday morning, though. This Monday morning was the first Monday of our summer vacation. I did not want to get out of bed at my normal time...which is early enough to get in my workout before having to get out the door.

But, I did.

Why? Why did I get up and moving at my normal time on the first day of summer break?

Because I needed to. For myself. For others.

Because a friend of mine checked in with me and held me accountable to taking care of myself.

Because rule #1 is that we never miss a Monday workout.

Today's gift for which I am grateful...my fit fam, friends both near and far, who offer inspiration and motivation to me every single day.

So, to you who inspire me and motivate me, know you are the best and I thank you!

"But God has surely listened and has heard my prayer." Psalm 66:19 As one who has struggled with weight all of my life, seeing the ups and downs in jean sizes became my reality. I would lose some pounds only to face a stressor in life and see them return and bring friends along for the ride. I spent years believing lies, yet secretly hoping for a better reality. Lies that I am not capable of overcoming my sweet tooth and that I am just not the workout type, topped the list. I have never really lacked self esteem or self confidence; I know who I am. However, I know from personal experience, others define me by what they first see. Having been a plus-size lady for years, I was treated differently, intentionally or not, when I dropped pounds. My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

3 in 30 Check In: Minor Technicalities

Having a great month...getting things accomplished and finding myself excited that the newness of 2011 hasn't worn off yet is so awesome. Closets are all cleaned out but mine...getting to the last one of six feels great and I cannot wait to rummage through it. As for making it to the Y three times...thanks to our ice and a minor back injury , that hasn't happened, but I have a chance tomorrow and Saturday to make it there at least twice this week. So looking forward to it, even if I walk a little funny getting there. And, there are plans in the making of a new endeavor for me to use a newly acquired skill to bless others. Baby steps of hope in the right direction. And, I've had a chance to think ahead to next month's goals...can't wait! Thank you, God, for a wonderful week!

Go. Be. Do.
