So on Saturday in my Warrior Boxing class we had to run in place. It was a lovely insturmental kick-ass song that we were running too, and running, and running. With the music and kinda dancing as we ran didn't even realize that the song lasted 6min. I ran for 6min!!!
Woooooo!!!! Who knew!!! I think the dancing helped!!

Life is Good!

So there we are lying sweaty and spent for our 30sec break before the ab work starts in our second 1hr boxing class for the night, and my hubby looks at me and says:

"Ok I now realize that you're truly trying to kill me. But remember you'll get more money if it looks like an accident, not a heart attack"

To which I reply:

"Smart Ass! Now don't force me to use my one exhausted arm to pick up my other exhausted arm to hit you with it!!"

The laughter of the woman next to us was quickly drowned out by the pulse of the music and the groan of my hubby as we had to start doing situps. Gotta love working-out with your spouse!!!

Well today is weigh in day. The day, that day, the dreaded day, the day that will determine how the rest of the week feels. Because we all know that this day is leading the way to where the grass is greener, where life is more fun, where we'll do more, where folks will like us more, where all the things we've ever wanted to do will be done and accomplished!! Okay, that is the plan; but is it a reality? We'll be we happier? Will the folks that don't like us now really like us with a smaller butt? Will we do more, and in that vein will we do "new" stuff? Or will the life that we have now just be so much better as it stands? I read and acticle today called "The Grass Isn't Greener", and even though it was pertaining to work environment I feel that the theme also pertains to life in general. It starts out:

"Often we think that the grass will be greener somewhere else. We believe we'll be happier and more successful anywhere by where we are. And so we pursue happiness. And chase success."

Isn't that how we feel loosing our extra coats will make us feel? Happier, successful, and living in a lawn of greener grass? Of course no matter what my life will be better when I finally shed this extra coat of a person I carry around. My body will feel better. I'll be able to do stairs better. I'll be able to get up without pushing off the table. I won't have to find special stores for clothes, and my feet my fit in to sexy girly shoes. But will it be a happier life? Sure, in small bits it is going to be grand!! For it to be awesome then the happiness of the life I have right now will have to be the base for it. So as I looked in the mirror at the changes going on with my body shape I said to myself: "It may not be a pretty body, but it has been a good body". It is a good body for what I've put it through all these years. It is only the past two years that it has complained back to me about the poor care I have given it. Now as I look at it a realization forms, life has been pretty good with this version of my body. I am happy with what it and I together have accomplished; and as we make this transformation our relationship will only make my life better. So this happiness is what I will expand on during this next adventure with my good body. (soon to be a pretty body too!)

The article I read today finished with this:

"Your job is not to run away from where you are in the hope of finding greener pastures. Your job is to plant yourself each day and be the best you can be and bring out the best in others."

With that thought I am going to stop feeling sorry for myself today, weigh in day, and reflect on how life has been great so far. I am also going to go and get some fertilizer; because after looking in the mirror I realized that I don't need a new greener lawn I just need to put time into the lawn I have. And maybe, just maybe, I can make it the greenest lawn on the block!!
