Day 1!

Okay, so today is the first full day of the new plan.

Last night - I made some fabulous choices......went out for dinner with the family after the volleyball quarter finals (sorry you didn't win, girls, but you played awesome - likely better than I've ever seen you play! Be proud!).

I had a fabulous salad (with dressing on the side, thank you very much) and half of my chicken/crab pasta. The rest was brought home, divided in two and put into the freezer for lunches in the next week(s).

Don't have a lot of time right now, but wanted to share that I got on the scale this morning and have lost 2.2 lbs since Monday! I know I've been careful this week, even if I did slide into that chocolate yesterday, but I'm feeling strong and in control!

Today, will be my first Shred workout in about 3 weeks......and then I have a date with my horse to muck out her stall. That should be good for another upper body workout!

Later!

WOW - can anyone say a lightbulb moment?

Okay, so you know my blog name is Sunshine.......heck I even have a hat that says "Hello Sunshine!" on it.......I've just met another incredible Sunshine - her name is Sunshine Mama! Her blog is such an inspiration! I'm going to start working on myself with 100% dedication and focus today!

No more excuses

No more deviations

No more delays

I am far too important not to be put first! If I'm in good shape physically, mentally, and spiritually, everyone around me will be in better company!

Thanks Sunshine - I'm reimplementing my original plan, with the help of using your idea for a food / inspiration journal and I'm going for the full 20 in 10 weeks too!

...oh, one last thing!

While I was in Florida, I walked 5km to see this guy! Then 5km back......

Back to Reality!

With a thud! No, actually I'm happy to be home (crazy, I know!).

In my life, I have two kinds of things:

1. lots of things that need to be finished - from putting myself first and taking care of myself to unfinished quilting projects (and the list is truly endless!)

2. lots of things I have always wanted to do, but never seem to put a high enough "important to me" flag on......

So, from now, until July 1st, I'm going to focus on:

1. Putting myself first - if I'm happy and healthy, I can be so much better for my family!

2. Spending a few minutes / hours each day / week doing something that is important just for me......the artistic side of my is screaming to get out!

So, first of all, my start back at the beginning weight....167.3 as of this morning and only going DOWN from here. I've had my two vacations, I've had the holidays with my family and I'm going for broke!

This weekend, I'll be working on the artistic side for a while!

......the above post might sound a bit whimsical and disjointed, but I promise you'll see a new dedication and new focus from me over the next weeks.......GRIN!

Oh, and photos from Florida to come later this week - promise!
