Must Be Doing Something Right

Anything so wonderful ever happened to you and you wonder what it was that you did to deserve it? That's how I feel about Vince everyday. That man is so good to me and there are times that I just have to stop and wonder what did I ever do to deserve this beautiful human being in my life. I'm not going to question it because I'm just glad to be with him. I must be doing something right. (Love this song! - I know it's the guy singing about a girl but same thing..)

Work Hard, Play Harder

It's the end of March but it feels like this year is almost half way through. This year (so far) has been extremely busy. Been crazy busy at work and I've been working my butt off sometimes even in the wee hours of the night but I'm a big believer of Work Hard, Play Harder and boy it sure been one hell of an adventure filled year so far. Birthdays, happy hours, snowboarding trip, impromptu trip to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, St Patty's Day Parade (you can't say if you've been drinking all day if you don't start in the morning! lol!), trip to El Paso for a Quince.. seems like there's something going on every weekend and we're always up for something to do! But these little trips/get together, no matter how "insignificant" they are, they're a great way to escape even just for a day or two or a long weekend. Gives you something to look forward to. To enjoy all your hard work. Sometimes we get so bogged down with all the "stuff" we have to do that we forget to enjoy ourselves. I say grab some friends, be adventurous, do something crazy (like decide to go to New Orleans 3 days before Mardi Gras and hope for a miracle that there will be a hotel room available and fit 8 people in it. Drive 9 hours all night, get there and party in the morning til god knows when, sleep and head back home the next day!)...you'll realize that the unplanned adventures are the most memorable ones. So I say go out there and enjoy the fruits of your labor with the people you love and enjoy!

Quitting Before Starting

With the new year comes new year's resolution and most of those are related to weight loss. I've been asked a lot by people to help with the workouts and meal planning and I was more than happy to help but sometimes I feel like it's a waste of my time and their time because once they see or hear what they have to do, they quit before they even start!

To some level I understand because it's totally out of your comfort zone but at the same time since your comfort zone didn't get you to the fitness/health level that you want to be, doesn't that mean changing your perception of your "comfort zone"?

I don't understand how can they say they can't do something if they haven't even tried it? I'm not telling them to try something ludracis such as jumping off a building or eating some unknown creature... It's investing some time and committing to something good for themselves. It's a very simple idea but most people especially busy people who's lives/schedules pretty much revolves around helping/taking care of others find it hard to say that it's okay to spend some ME time. What they don't seem to understand how important that time is. I say if you take care of yourself first you can better take care of the people around you. Right?

Well I think I've gone on and on about this...just frustrations that I needed to get out...even if it doesn't make any sense.. :)
