Descision

Yesterday I made a descision, it is one I have made many times before. I have decised to fianlly get healthy. In the past my goal was to lose weight. I never saw beyond to how keeeping the weight off would benefit me.

I am the Queen of the Quitters, and I am about to embark on an adventure to abdicate my crown!

I have ordered the Shakeology system, contacted a personal trainer, purchased some recomended reading and set my goal! In the past I start off strong and then stop when it gets too hard, boring, or whatever other excuses I can come up with. Not. This. Time. I am done beign tired, obese, and unhappy. By this time next year I WILL be smaller, more flexible, have better hair and skin and hopefully more self confidense. The best part is Derrick will be joining me on this trip!

I have a blog on the Team Beachbody website that will go into more detail of my struggles and successes,  but I will keep you updated here too. After all this new life change will probably take up a huge amount of my time.

Paradox

It is interesting, if you were to ask me about my daughter one thing I would say is that she is a homebody. She loves being home.

Tonight we pick her up from the airport, she is returning from Peru where she has spent the last six weeks. So maybe she isn't a homebody. She has been on five of the seven continents, visited Australia, China, Tibet, South Africa and now Peru. All these trips have centered around learning and at times she was homesick yet she pushed on. I also know she has future plans to travel. Her career choice will most certainly call for travel.

So how can she be a homebody? There is the paradox. I don't think we need to be one thing or the other. What is important in my opinion is to be present wherever you are or whatever you are doing and whoever you are with.

So I am challenging myself to become a paradox and be present in every situation and not be one thing or the other.
