Changes!

So I have begun an adventure on self renewal! It all started about a month ago when a girl from work came in talking about this boot camp someone told her about. With out thinking I said "SIGN ME UP!!" We looked into in and after learning about the difficult workout and the outrageous hour of 530 in the Am's.....I couldn't back out. People, including my husband (who knows I didnt get up early for anything...including a fire) didn't believe that we could do it. But us being stubborn women we were going to prove them wrong. So 530 came on day one and we were there, ready to conquer the world...that only lasted throught the warm up! IT WAS HARD! However hard it was, just when I thought I couldnt do another sit up or leg lift it was over, and we would move onto something else. I felt amazing after...extreamily exhausted and sore but great. My insides were more alive then they had been in a while and it was good :) So I figured that I might as well work on all the other things that made me mad at my self....like give up drinking coffee!! Cold turkey! I worked on my eating habbits and now I am pretty pickey about what I eat. When I go of course and eat something....for example processed or with white sugar I feel like SHIT FOR 2 DAYS!!! not worth it... so I think before I eat! I feel great and now I am a month in and addicted! I have already committed to another three weeks of torture and four weeks after that...but it will be 5 days a week then. Something that has been happening is that I am more aware of my body. I feel things and take note of thing going on...I dont know if its because I am off my fat butt and moving or if its because I read a new earth by Eckhart Tolle but its been an adventure. I really have a lot more emotion, or I notice it more I dont know. For example...this morning after bootcamp I come home and have my ritual breakfast lots of green tea, fiber and fish oil (yum...not!) and watch the today show. They did this piece on these two men that in their 20's in London they found this lion cub for sale in some store, I think they said Harrods. They felt bad for it being in such a small cage so they purchased it. They raised it that year and grew very close. When he was big they released him back into the wild in Africa. Then a year or so later they decided to find him and visit him. Ok, I guess I should preface this...Its not that time of the month, and this story is touching but this is pathetic. Anyway, the lion see's them and runs, gives them hugs and kisses, cant stay off of them. So much love in the air. He introduces them to his wife lion....so cute. Well, I am watching this over my whole grain ceryal and CRYING like a Baby....Balling, like I just found out someone died!!!! How sad am I. I noticed the other day that there was a sweet commercial on TV that almost made me cry! UGH...this is rediculos. I have to hold back the damn at work sometimes because a client will tell me a sweet story and its all I can do not to cry! I DIDNT USED TO BE LIKE THIS!! Anyway, thats whats going on in my neck of my woods.....Still Crazy!

How to get out of a traffic ticket!

I had a client tell me a really funny story the other day and I thoght I would pass it on! She has a daughter, about 17 or 18. Her daughter was going down the freeway in the right hand land about 20 or so over the speed limit and a cop of course pulls her over. She get a brillant idea while waiting for the officer to approach her window and begins the squirm in her seat. "Do you know why I pulled you over mam?" he says. "Yes sir, I was speeding because I have to pee really bad. I am sorry but its incredibly painful and I have to go so bad!" she replies still wiggling. " I would really appreciate it if you could fallow me up to the gas station off this exit so I can use the little girls room and then we can continue with this??" Reluctantly the officer agreed and he went to his car. She pulled back into traffic for a bit then pulled back over just after exiting before the gas station. She had a bottle of water in the car which she proceeded to poar a bit on herself to apear that she had peed. The officer comes back up to the car slightly confused and she blurts out...."To late, lets just get this over with so I can run home and change." Somehow she also manages to squeeze out a tear and apear bright red with imbaresment. The officer takes her license and such and goes back to his car. Remember she was going at least 20 over and this would have been a significant ticket! The officer comes back and says, "I think you have gone through enough I am going to let you off with a warning but there is no excuse to speed and please use the restroom before you get into your car!!"
I was laughing so hard when my client was telling me this and I thought I would pass it on so someone else might use it.......Just keep a bottle of water handy and pray its not the same officer :)

day 2

ha ha....this is kinda weird....I feel as though I should start out with DEAR DIARY! I got up nice and early again today and accomplished quite a bit before I head off to work :) I dont know why I was ever a slug before and would stay in bed untill the last second....I missed so much of life! Oh well, I will "carpe diem " from now on....and I cant spell worth beans just so you know. I have one more chore before I head of to the adult world....Mowing the lawn...YIPEE! heres more cute pics:) they like to snuggle if you cant tell....and no these were not posed.....lucy is so patient!

day 1...

Ok....I did it! I broke down and started a blog. I guess I did only because every one else has one, and I figure if any one wants to know what I am up to this could be a good way to keep tabs. What to write about......I dont know yet, I guess I will do as I go! Today I got up at 5:30 in the AM's, to early for any sane activity, to go to boot camp. I am a little drained right now, but I should make it through my day! Boot camp has kicked my booty, but I am glad that I am doing it :) ok, more later....heres some cute pics of my furry daughters~
