Not quite ready to run a marathon but...
Thurs - 20 min
Fri - nothing
Sat - nothing AGAIN! Ugh!
Sun - 25 min
Mon - 30 min
Tues - 30 min
Wed - 30 min
Thurs - 40 min
That first day was torture and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack halfway through! Today I had planned to do 30 min but I felt so good I decided to go for 45. Too bad my foot cramped up at the 40 min mark! LOL! I should be up to 45 min tomorrow and through the weekend. Now I just need to come up with a plan for next week. Hopefully, there are some good classes that fit into my schedule. There is a great Pilates studio in my neighborhood and even though I don't have the money for it at the moment it's definitely something I hope to try in the near future.
My eating habits have been very good (they were pretty good before, just needed to resist the cheeseburger/ice cream urges), I'm drinking a TON of water every day, and I have more energy then I know what to do with. I go to the gym in the morning as soon as I wake up and for the rest of the day I'm in the best mood ever! Yay!
Hope everyone is well :)

Getting back on the Go-Getters wagon...
I'm not sure what's sparked my new found motivation for working out.
Could it be that The Go-Getters Getaway is rapidly approaching and I'd feel like a fraud if I didn't have some sort of Go-Getterish activity to report?!?
Could it be that I can't even fit into my Fat Jeans anymore?!?
Could it be that I just got back from a weekend in the Bahamas where I felt like the only appropriate beachwear for my current body was a black tankini with a skirt?!?
Probably all of the above.
It's been a long (looooooooooooooooong) time since I've been in the gym so I'm starting slowly. Just cardio for the first week or so and then I'll add in some weights and maybe a class or two. Eventually, skull crushers will make their triumphant return!!

THE GO-GETTERS GETAWAY - Tentative Itinerary

Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Back at the Y, Gardens and Sunshine!
Also, we've put in a garden again this year, but we expanded it to about 2 1/2 times the size last year, so I'm looking forward to lots of fresh veggies this summer and fall!
What else has everyone been doing or aspiring to do? Just putting it out there to keep us all in check!
Hope everyone is enjoying the precursor to summer! The sunshine and fresh air has been a big motivator.
Shock
51: Shock
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

General Meaning: One hears thunder unexpectedly! First comes fear, then a sharpening of one's vision. Recall a close brush with danger — a falling branch, an automobile accident barely avoided, an escape from a potentially violent confrontation. Such incidents arouse every nerve fiber in your body in a brief wave of terror, but soon, once the danger has passed, give way to a heightened awareness of the world. The same process also occurs with other types of shock — the loss of a job, the sudden departure of a loved one, business failure and so on.
The lasting impact of a major shock can either be stimulating or debilitating, depending upon one's strength of character. The critical factor is the ability to shake off fear, thereby transforming anxiety into a laser-sharp perception of the world around you.
When overtaken by crisis, the wise search their hearts for inner strengths in order to face their life with courage. This often means daring to take an unexpected path — to bounce back quickly and self-confidently after failures, to have faith in the eternal when confronted with death.
We tend to think of shock only in the context of unpleasant events. We can also be jarred, however, by the sudden release of tension that comes with unexpected joy or success. To keep your bearings in the aftershock of either trauma or victory, it is essential that your inner compass be aligned with 'true north', that magnetic force which guides you toward fulfillment of both your deepest desire, and your highest destiny.
