I Can And I Will

It's all about positive thinking,right? Let me explain...I try really hard to focus on all the good things I have been so blessed to experience: the love of my hubby, kids that amaze me daily and my friends and family that have a way of making me feel special in their eyes. I'd like to think of myself as caring and kind to others around me. And I truly see beauty in everyone God has placed in my path. The problem? It's my self talk. I really know that this is an area where I desire to trust God completely. I have been trying to get in shape for ...well, since my baby came with no such luck. So I have noticed that I have been saying "i can't do it, I just can't." Well, I am ready to say "I can and I will." I consider myself active and value exercise but now I am ready to step it up. So today, beyond my morning 2 mile power walk and decided after lunch to run. Yes, I ran. This is new and very exciting for me. I ran 1 and a quarter mile and didn't stop once. I was so pumped. I am going to do this. I am determined to lose this excess, get in shape and just celebrate this life with my health and a positive outlook even if it is small steps at a time.
On this note, I have made a plan with a dear friend. We are planning to celebrate our successes with a girls night out. And I am so looking forward to another reason to party especially when i'm lighter on my feet. Whoo hoo!
