Weigh In #22-Welcome to the Love Fest

It is FRIDAY....Can't tell how happy that makes me.  It has been one busy week.  A good week...but a busy week.  My job is CRAZY....Now don't get me wrong..I am very happy to HAVE a job..and it is CRAZY! 

So...I am NOT working late tonight...When the work gets crazy...the crazy leaves the office!!! 

So today was Weigh In #22-I lost another 1.5lbs..I can live with that! 

My workout last night was tough.  One of the most difficult in a while. My legs felt like Jello...just really tired.  So I cut my cardio to 30 minutes...lifted some weights and called it a day!

You know, one of the challenges on this Journey for me is listening to my body!  Believe it or not, despite the condition I have let myself get in, I can overdue the workout. What I mean by that is that I can push so hard that I crater and am unable to stay on track.  So it is not that the workout is so tough...It is just that I don't regulate to my physical needs.. is just takes patience and time to build up stamina...especially after 20+ years of not regularly taking care of myself!  Ahhh...Patience.  Not one of my strong suits....Reminds me of Popeye..."I ain't no doctor, but I am losing me patience!" Gotta Love Popeye!  I have Selective Patience...I can be patient at times...certain situations or with certain people...However, I am not patient with myself...(or with other people in cars...LOL). 



This Journey requires a whole lot of patience!!!  That I am learning.  It also requires that I keep a good attitude about BEING patient!  Whatever...HAHAHA!!!  That is really the word that popped into my head as I was writing that sentence...so much for the Good Attitude!!

So much more to learn!

Of course...I am still on a LOVE Fest this week...I like LOVE....It is fun!  My heart continues to be FULL...
One of my co-workers ask my why I was so perky today...I said "What do you mean?" ( I was singing and dancing at the time)...I was hugging the youngsters...cracking jokes...Me...Perky...Say it ain't so!!!   So much for professional boundaries....I am feeling the LOVE!  I am completely surrounded by it!!!

My friend Donna recently informed me that she is NOT inspired by my Journey...at all!  Now she told me if I put that in my blog...I would have to explain...Her explanation is that she REFUSED to be inspired by my Journey...HOWEVER, she went to the Dr. (she has a cold) and they weighed her...as doctors will do....according to her...the scale DID inspire her...so She will starting her own Journey (privately).  I told her I loved her...I will support her anyway I can...and Welcome to the Love Fest!!!  I am sure she would appreciate a prayer or two!!!

 OK...so Kerri Walsh has the FLU!!!  She said she is feeling horrible.  I told her we would be saying some prayers for her...Bless her heart! 

ALSO, Please pray for my sweet cousin Brian and he goes on a mission  trip to El Salvador to do a job for God!!!  Did I mention I have an amazing family!!!

Week 23...Here comes The Fluff...I am ready to take on next week...Work out and Work it OFF!!!!
