My Favorite shoes...

I go through shoes like candy with my teaching schedule. I have tried to find "cheaper" shoes for Body Attack and I always regret it. I LOVE NIKE AIR MAX plus. They are the best shoes for my body. When you go to buy workout shoes make sure they give you plenty of support. Think of yourself as a sports car, would you put crappy cheap tires on it??? Of course not. The next time you want to reward yourself...go for a new pair of workout shoes. It will make your workout safer and a little more fun.

Gratitiude

I love getting emails that are inspiring. One of my LOVES is the Secret Scrolls

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne

Creator of The Secret and The Power From The Secret Daily Teachings

Today, be grateful. Be grateful for your favorite music, for movies that make you feel good, for your phone that connects you with people, for your computer, and for the electricity that lights up your life. Be grateful for air travel that flies you everywhere. Be grateful for the roads and traffic lights that keep the traffic in order. Be grateful to those who built our bridges. Be grateful for your pet, for your child, for your loved ones, for your eyes that enable you to read this. Be grateful for your imagination. Be grateful that you can think. Be grateful that you can speak. Be grateful that you can laugh and smile. Be grateful that you can breathe. Be grateful that you are alive! Be grateful that you are You!

Be grateful that there are two words that can change your life.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne

I love my fitness journal...

In honor of the month of February...LOVE MONTH! I am going to share the things I love. My favorite supplements, fitness apparel, workouts, website, recipes, shoes, you name it, and I will share it. I love reading about the things people are loving out there right now. So here is my FIRST LOVE.

MY FITNESS JOURNAL...

Some might think I am OCD, but it is important to me to right down my daily goals, what I did that day, what I am thankful for, what I ate, how I felt, etc. It is relaxing and rejuvenating to me. The oxygen journal I use has motivational quotes.

Here is one of my favorites right now

"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."- Og Mandino

Such a great a powerful quote. Each day is a gift and a new day. When I wake up in the morning before I get out of bed I think of what an awesome opportunity it is to start a BRAND NEW DAY. A chance to be a better mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter, teacher, and motivator. I am so grateful for having that opportunity.

Until my next love...make today great!!

Goals

Happy New Year!! I hope you are excited for an amazing year ahead of you!! 2012 IS THE YEAR FOR YOUR DREAMS TO COME ALIVE!! Whether you have set goals, stayed motivated, slipped up, or wondered why even bother with any New Years resolution. You can achieve anything you put your mind and heart too.

Greg Anderson says it perfectly "When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life."

So true!! For 2012 please put yourself first and ask "what will get me closer to my ultimate goal/dream?" If it is taking the stairs at work, saying no to the snacks in the break room, or taking a relaxing bubble bath at the end of the day....just do it!! Focus on the things you can do, and you will be amazed at what lies ahead!!

Stay tuned for..dinner make over with the help of a handsome 4 year old cheif :)
