yesterday and Today





yesterday ~ I thought about how I should start exercising and knock off eating all the Easter left overs...
Today ~ I walked two miles, did arm exercises, and 42 jumping jacks.

yesterday ~ I ate three servings of Special K for breakfast and two sugar cookies for lunch...
Today ~ I had one serving, yes even measured it to see what the heck one serving looked like and took the time to slice some fresh strawberries on top.


yesterday ~ I felt sluggish and tired and was in the "less I do the more tired I am" rut...
Today ~ I am filled with energy.

yesterday ~ I was too busy feeling tired to pray.
Today ~ I prayed the Rosary as I walked and am filled with hope.

yesterday ~ I got out my shorts and my favorite pair doesn't. quite. fit.
Today ~ I'm telling you that they will fit by Memorial Day. So that you can remind me. And demand a photo of me in. those. shorts. on Memorial Day. Demand it I tell you!



Are you in a rut? Get up, get out, get moving with me!! It feels great!

Perfect! I'm going for a walk today, even if it's on the treadmill after the kids go to bed. Thanks for the inspiration.

I know you can do it....I am right there with you. I know what it's like to need to lose a few pounds. For the last 12 years I was 100 pounds overweight. Two years ago I decided one day to do something about it. I joined Weightwatchers and after 54 weeks of sticking to the great plan. I changed my eating habits and lost 103 pounds. Now I feel great and love having more energy.
P.S. I love your fabrics and have bought lots of yards from you.
Have a great day,
laura
