Waking up with thoughts of how it all is going to work? My boys start wrestling today which means on the go again, becoming more organized than before. Trying to have nutritious snacks for after school and have some kind of dinner when they get home which is after 8. Then I worry about my daughter who needs to get active too. I have to find something that we can do while the boys do their thing. Thinking about the local college. Seeing if she will join with me so we can swim and run or walk tread mill. Sounds great in theory but I need to have a willing participant. Those preteens don't seem to want to have anything to do with that. I want her to get excited about something. Is that possible? I know for a fact that these are hard times. I know from experience that it is not fun being an over weight child. Or adult for that matter. How do I inspire without turning off. How do I say we need to move without hunting tender feelings? Leading by example is not working.
I know I was overweight and I didn't want anyone to tell me that. Oh it is such a touchy subject. It still is. I feel like I will always be under the glass even if it is me putting myself there. I have gained 5lbs since my weight loss and I am constantly thinking of it. You know how easy 5 can turn to 15! That is why I joined the runners club. I want to be surrounded by people who strive to be healthy, fit. I am constantly being inspired by Joe who runs on the treadmill and weight trains. I need that excitement and positive outlook pushing me. I too am hoping that leading by example does rub off on my children. I want them to get excited to work out. I want them to feel good about themselves. Not that I think they don't. I think they do. It is just that outside cruel world that continuously judges you one the size of your pants.
Then I think of what is important. Living life with positive influences. Knowing that your loved unconditionally. Being happy for who you are and what you can give. That is what matters. The basics- love one another. Oh if everyone would just live that way, no wait then we all would be in heaven. Too early to think about that.
Anyways thanks for the vent. It is hard to get anyone to talk to me at 4 in the morning. Even the ones that say they love me. It just usually starts after 7. Thank goodness for cats!

howdy, good morning to you too. coffee is hot, no sunlight yet, but it will come. Just like determination, dedication, personal conviction, self esteem, self driven, goal minded, recognition. Others may judge, but it is your own admission to your self to hear what they are saying, is it what you are afraid to admit to your self? Or wish not to give it a voice? It is self- will that determines what you allow to be acceptable or not. The power is in your hand, it is in your spirit to "be all you can be." Once you get the ball rolling, support is always there, just keep the ball rolling, at times it is uphill, but you must realize it will get easier when you get to the top of the summit, PRoud then, you will look for the next summit when the ball is rolling downhill fast. We all love a tailwind but we have to face the windfront first. that is life
