Monday, Week 11:

I reached in the back of my closet this morning and pulled out a blue jean tailored jacket that I have not worn in over a year.  It fit!  I giggled and laughed and wore it to work with a smile.  I love blue jeans!!

I had an excellent workout this morning with my Kettlebells and dumbbells.  I mixed it up, working first with the 5 lb. Kettlebell, then the 5 lb. dumbbells, then the 10 lb. Kettlebell, and ending with "the swing" using the 15 lb. Kettlebell.  My workout at present is 15 minutes.  If I could just get out of the bed a little earlier I could start doing 30 minutes.

I track all the food I eat everyday using "Livestrong.com" website.  I log my breakfast as soon as I get to work.  I log my lunch as soon as I get back in the office and I log after I have an afternoon snack.  I log my dinner either before I eat or after I eat depending on if I need to check on the calories.  Tracking or logging my food is huge.  It is so important to know exactly what I am eating in calories.  The only thing I do not log is lemon water with Splenda, basically no calories, and Celestial Seasonings hot tea with Splenda which is zero calories.  The Wild Berry Zinger is fabulous!

Inspirational Thought:

What Did Jesus Say About Love Matthew 5:43-48  “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?  You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
