Gluteous Goneous...Losing my Butt!

Good Evening...Another busy day in the books!!!  I must apologize in advance..this post may be partially incoherent as I am "brain tired"...For those of you that know me well...or that read this blog often...I am typically not at a loss for words.  I typically do not have any trouble finding something to say everyday! 

Today though...my brain is just zapped!  I attended a retirement party this evening for a co-worker after a very busy work day and that seems to have emptied my brain of any valuable thoughts...

So here is what I can tell you....I managed to pass up cake TWICE today!!!  Tres Leches cake no less!  I managed to eat a salad while surrounded by crawfish etouffee, chips and salsa, calamari...greasy bar food!!  I am making it through the cleanse...not quite as successfully as last time..but I am happy. 

I had another pretty tough workout last night and have become acquainted with a new (for me) evil machine called THE STEPPER!!! 

EVIL....THIS MACHINE IS THE DEBBIL!


According to the machine...I climbed the equivalent of 15 stories...BUT...I am pretty sure I climbed to the top of the Empire State Building....

After that...I did 20 minutes on the Evil Elliptical and did an arm/upper body workout...However, when I woke up this morning...I was still Fluffy...LOL!!!!

So...as I take this Journey....my whole world is changing...New experiences, New Opportunities, a closer relationship with God, stronger relationships, renewed health...etc...This below sums up my experience fairly well..

"My world is expanding as my butt is shrinking!"

Actually....if I am being really honest, it should read...My World is expanding as my butt is disappearing.  Because it IS!!!  Disappearing....I have developed Flat Buttitis, Buttocksous Disappearous, Gluteous Goneous...It is true....just be grateful that I am entirely too modest to share any pictorial evidence with you!  You can thank me later!!!

However...there are other "features"...fixtures you might say...that refuse to reduce in size!  I will not go any further...Again, you can thank me later!

So before I go....I am going to leave you with a few little inspiring thoughts...I found these today...

AND IMAGINE

Recall the things that have held you back. And imagine how you now
can get beyond them.

Think of the problems that have frustrated you so. And imagine how
you can now rise above them.

Look at how far you've come. And imagine how far you can now go.
Think of all that you've learned. And imagine what you can now do
with that knowledge.

Consider all you've done in the past year. And imagine what you'll
now be able to do.

You're now in a better position than ever to imagine the very best.
And what you can imagine will lead to what you can be.
