Learning more about myself.

I listened to Sherry Turkle today on a TED Talk and she was just amazing.   It's true we are disconnecting with people because of technology that has poured on us within this new day in age. 

I am attaching her TALK because it's worth 10 minutes to hear what she has to say!  

Sherry Turkle

Please take time for true conversations again.  Build a true relationship with someone, not just a social media relationship. 

STARTING OVER.....

MEN Suck!!   PERIOD!!  I can see why women profile men because they are almost predictable.  Men don't like to deal with there own issues, suck ass at communicating and don't really care who they hurt as long as they get what they want.

Lesson learned.....again!  Just when you think you can trust one...they come out and become like all the rest.  Well a great friend of mine says what's in the past is in the past.  True that!  I have been blessed with a great support system with true friends and family that have always been there for me.  Some have even gone above and beyond to protect me from situations like this.   #Ihavelearnedmylesson #startingover

It's time for me to do things for ME again.  To learn to love life again I have to love myself first!  So many warnings came when I started this relationship but you never really want to believe what others say.   No no this will be different, he is different kind, understanding blah blah blah....

To all my friends out there that warned me...I AM SO SORRY I didn't listen!   I AM LISTENING NOW.  Thank you for being there for me....always.

I guess it was time to step back and take a look at my life and who is in it.  Time to clean out the closets and keep only the important people that support and help me grow in life.  To those remaining I love you and am always here for you as you have been for me!  

Turning the new leaf, time to concentrate and get back into shape.  Will keep you posted it starts the 5th....wish me luck.

Hoping 2016 has more to bring than 2015.

Well it's Thursday March 17th and I am so looking forward to heading to Vegas for Bowling sweeps tomorrow.  I just feel that I need to get out of the normal Orange County feel and get to some new scenery!   I am hoping that 2016 can bring more into my life than 2015 has.  I am currently confused on several issues in my life and hoping that a Light from the Sky will show me the way!    Yeah right!   Well one can dream can't they? 

My hope for 2016 is have a greater impact on people in my life and community!  As well as turn 2016 into an exercise and learn to eat healthy year!   These are two of my down falls.   I love FOOD!   Wine, Beer Pizza and I am a happy girl!   As noted by my weight!   LOL

Well wish me luck in Vegas!    Let's bring some of that money home!  $$$$$

Training Day 2

Ok Day 2 was tough.  Had a hard time keeping motivated through the soreness on the 30 minute Treadmill running workout, though I completed it it was not pretty!   However the 6 miles (30 minutes ) stationary bike workout was GREAT!  Keep the percentage around 88%, level 5 and went 6.32 miles in the 30 minutes.   I was very happy with that!   All in all feeling really good!  Welcome Day 3 REST day!  

IT'S TIME TO START TRAINING

Ok well it has been forever since I did my last blog so I figured with my training starting yesterday, my training logs printed that I should start keeping track of my progress!  I hit the gym last night and felt pretty good considering I haven't been in a gym in well a VERY long time.  So tried the Elliptical for about 20 minutes, then I did the stationary bike for about 30min. trying to keep about a 5 minute mile pace.  Which I was very surprised I did actually.  I did 6.2 miles in about 30 minutes. 

I had a good dinner with Chicken and Vegetables.  So I am feeling pretty good right now.  Sadly what started all this was that Monday March 30th I weighed myself.  Mind you I am 5'1" and medium framed and I weighed in at 179.5 lbs.  OMG!!!   Serious reality check.  I weighed only 178 lbs the day I gave birth to my daughter in 1994.  SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!   Well I just turned 46 and I guess I have gotten lazy.  I believe I am a very active person constantly on the go but my eating habit have gotten out of control.

IT'S NOW TIME TO START GETTING HEALTHIER!  I love to run little 5K events here and there.  I have even Juwagged (aka...walked , jogged ) a half marathon or two, but I have never been to serious about anything.  So that time has changed.  I have decided on a goal for 2016.  I will be running (yes you heard me right) running a full marathon in February 2016.  It's the Surf City Marathon on it's on February 7th Super Bowl Day!   Let the pain begin....
Surf City Marathon 2016

HERBALIFE has changed my life.

OMG...It's been 4 months since I started Herbalife and my life has changed!  I weighed in at 175 the first day and now I weigh 158.  I have only started!  My goal is to hit 130 so I still have a ways to go but I can certainly see the light at the end of the rainbow.  I find myself with the energy to workout.  The shakes actually takes great and don't take a lot to make them!  For someone like me who is always on the go that means a lot.  The snacks are right up my alley and they taste GREAT!  Yeah go figure a diet that has great tasting snacks.  I am sharing this because those things that you find in life that you think are too good to be true usually are, however this is not!  I want to SHARE this with everyone I can.  Best kept secret!

A Magical Day!

As you can tell from my title I am a Disney geek!  So when I say that when you finally meet someone that you can enjoy all the facets of your daily life with and enjoy spending time it can feel very Magical!  =)  That's what happens when a good friend and you finally break through that friendship barrier one day.   It wasn't planned and just seemed so right that it just happened!  It was great!  Ok I know I can go on and on....but I just wanted to do a shoot out to all my FRIENDS who have always been so supportive in Everything I do.  My fundraising, my 5K's, 10K's and even my first 1/2 Marathon you are a huge party of my motivation!  

A special Shoot out...to "JODI" you have always encouraged and cheered me alone all the journey's I have attempted over the last 10 years.  You are amazing and I am so proud to call you my Friend.  All my love girl....thank you!  

 A new chapter is beginning and there are new memories to be made every moment of every day!  I hope you all are here to enjoy it with me as always. 

Thank you for all your acceptance!   It's hard enough to start dating and being introduced to new people not knowing how accepting you will be, but I can honestly say without hesitation that I have the BEST group on people in my life circle ever!  There are people that will come and go in my life, but that worth keeping will stay during all the good and bad! 

It's great times to share my happy days with everyone!  So......Thank you......and I love you all! 

Ok enough of the mushy stuff.  Get back to work.....

XOXOXO
