Positivity Everywhere!!!

Positive thoughts.

I got up and went for a jog with my dog this morning. Instead of laying in bed like I normally do when I sleep through gym alarms.

My pup needs a little more exercising he got super tired right away 😭 guess I know what else I need to work on...

We were however able to upgrade a 1/4 of a mile!! Next goal is to get him able to jog the whole time!!!

I did my job. I recovered as much as I could after being late yesterday...still behind but life happens.

I helped my mom get into our house...kinda 😂😂😂

I chugged my water like a boss cause it was hot today!!!

I made a commitment to workout with both my sisters tomorrow!

I am alive. I am healthy. I am unstoppable.

Reminder: Positivity is Key

Today's bright side.

I woke up before I had to leave and had enough time to eat breakfast before my workout.

I had a super sweaty two classes that made me feel good. Plus...did 100 sit ups straight(some breaks to catch my breath but right back into it!).

I was assisted by WSDOT and they changed my flat tire for me!!! FOR FREE!!!

I was able to get my tire replaced and my oil changed at the same time while I was getting ready for work.

I have understanding bosses that don't rip me a new one when I was an hour and a half late.

I have amazing coworkers that realized I wasn't my normal smiling self and checked on me(who said guys don't notice 😉😂)

I have a roof over my head, a bed under me, a car that takes me where I need to go and family/friends and furbabies that love me.

Though it may have been a rough day there is still so much to appreciate!!! 💜💜💜 I could have blown multiple tires, I could have run out of gas, I could have waited for road side assistance and them charge me a bunch of money. I could...go on and on. God has a plan and you just kinda have to embrace it. (If you want to know something even more amazing... We are teaching the Good Samaritan in Sunday school this weekend i'd say the WSDOT guy was that! He could have just passed me! He could have said 'roadsides coming great bye!' Or not shown me how to change my own tire!!!! What a blessing 💜💜💜 )

Reminding myself to stay positive. Day 2 of 100

Today was a tough one. I woke up 5 minutes before I had to leave. But I woke up! I made a promise to myself to not sleep through classes this week because it's my last week for awhile with the amazing "Strong Body Project" which I will suggest to any and everyone with a beating heart and a desire to get moving. Seriously it has opened up so much in my mind as well as growing in strength. I am so grateful for the opportunity that arose so that I could join them for a couple months 💜💜

ANYWAY!!! I got on the road and DID NOT get in an accident. I did learn why everyone seatbelts their Ladyboss Jugs in though 😂😂😂 I am grateful that I was safe to and from the gym and to work. I am grateful that my mommy has pretty much anything and that I was able to vacuum up the water spill 😂😂😂

I am grateful for an amazing day with killer workouts and amazing family and friends.

I may not be where I want to be in the end but I am closer than I was 11 months ago. I wouldn't be where I am withoug my fitness, church and actual family. I am grateful for the privileges I have received in my life.

100 Days to LadyBoss Live means participating in a 100 day challenge.

Fitness: to do the 3 day workout schedule (3 days at the gym 3 days of fah) I have a hard time sticking to something so my goal is to stick to a routine.

Nutrition: to drink two LadyBoss jugs of water a day! AND one serving of raw veggies a day.

Accountability: 100 days of selfies followed by something good/positive about the day. I have a hard time acknowledging the good...so...my goal is to remind myself of all the good that is around me. I hope this helps me begin journaling/blogging again.

😉 Together we can do anything!! 💜💜💜What are your goals?

Sparkle on LadyBoss Sisters(and fitness family)!! 💖💜💖💜

Day One(yesterday): I did kickboxing followed by psych ward. I was terrified because I didn't think I had the endurance to do both one right after the other but. I did. My endurance has continued to increase with my increase of working out. I can't wait to see how far I can go. Today was cardio. Cardio is not my friend. But I did it. I moved and kept going even when all I wanted to do was quit. I kept going! I can do this. I have a roof over my head, a job I dont hate, a car that can take me where I need to go and a fitness family that encourages me to keep pushing myself. I never thought I would be as lucky as I am to have those around me that push me to always strive for a better life 💜💜💜

This is technically day two so be prepared for a post later tonight!!
