I'm so Hungry

Wow, I'm cutting back on all those snack foods and meat. My body is craving mad for all that bad stuff. I've gotten back into full gear with my exercise so I can look great for the summer and for my vacation. If I could put it into words how I feel I would but at this time the only thing I can do is post a picture of what it feels like to be me today!

Discovery

I've found a number of new things I will be posting. One of the most important things I remember when I was healthy was a clear state of mind. I had plenty of patience and felt great. It was nothing for me to exercise for 2 hours. One of the most important things I learned while performing gymnastics was yoga. Gymnastics incorporates many forms of exercise in order to achieve many movements. At this time, I've begun a journye backwards into the world of yoga in order to get back into shape. Although you may lose weight, you have to strengthen your muscles and tone your body. This aspect is missing when many people opt to have surgery to solve their weight loss problem. I chose the more difficult task and that is to find inner peace and forward into a journey to help my mind and body achieve it's greatest potential.

Wow what a Weekend

I had a great weekend full of exercise and fitness. Friday night, I stayed home to chill because I knew my weekend was going to be busy. Saturday morning, I opted to work at least four hours. After that, I rested and later I went to play the most active game there is, Dodgeball. Wow, I had a great time throwing and catching the balls. I had some great throws too, my husband was not as active as I was and he was shocked I could catch his most difficult ball. That means I got him out a few times. The best attack they have against me is going for my feet since I can't jump as high but I will try to get down low to catch the ball.
Afterwards, we went home to rest and then went out later to go bowling. I couldn't bowl because it was during this time I realized my left leg was still injured and hurt really bad from pulling a muscle back in December. I couldn't believe all this time I had not felt pain in over 3 months. I guess that is because I don't bother stretch at night anymore. I know there are so many things I need to do for my body and yet I still continue to be lazy. So, that is one thing I intend on fixing and that is stretching before night and early in the morning.
Sunday was a busy day as well because I got up trying to clean the house and move around plus I had to get ready for Kickball. I knew it would be difficul becuase I was so sore on Sunday morning. My back was hurting, muscles in my legs were hurting, I was hurting all over. When I arrived at Kickball, I was shocked to see that all my team showed up for the game this week. They still put me out in the outfield and acted as though I was going to mess everything up when I kicked. They were shocked cause I made it to first base this week and I even ran to make it to second base by sliding in. I was a little hurt but I heard the other team yelling "Second Base" I was like, "oh hell no, I ain't going out like that" I ran and then I dove in to beat that ball. They were all shocked to see that move. Overall, my weekend was great and full of excitment, fun, and plenty of fitness.
