Hidden Gem......

Happy Wednesday!

My Daily Quote:

We all have battles, whether they are with co-workers, family, friends, whatever, we all have them.  My battle is exercising!  I battle with it all the time. I start ~ then I stop. Then I get a glimpse of myself in a mirror or in the reflection of a window at the mall...I get frustrated with myself, and I hate the way I look, then I realize that I need to start again. That is what I battle all the time. But....I'm on the up side of my battle right now.  I'm winning the battle, at least for now.

I found this amazing Hidden Gem in the neighborhood across from ours. I have been looking for a park to take My Princess Sophia to on the days that she is with me and I stumbled upon this. I could not believe that I never knew this was here. This lovely park is just a stones throw away from our house. As I was checking it out, I discovered this....a FITNESS AREA!! 

I thought to  myself...if I do this and I do my Physique 57 workouts, I may just win this battle after all.  So, on Sunday, Tiffy and I headed to Rimgate Park to check it out. Tiffy loved watching all the birds flying around and the kids running around - we took a little walk to check things out and snapped a few pics along the way...we even got a cute lil selfie.

I went back Sunday evening to walk, no more running for this girl my hips can't take it anymore, but I can manage a brisk walk with no problems...so, I put in my ear buds, turned up the volume, and took off walking around the path of this lovely park.  I must admit, I did a little singing out loud along the way.  I accomplished this...walking and stopping to do the machines....

Then I headed back last night, for just a brisk walk, no machines this time, and I accomplished this...

On the agenda for tonight was this....30 minutes with my BabyGirl.  I love this DVD. I love how I feel when I am doing Physique 57 workouts. Physique 57 is such an amazing program!  I love that my daughter is so much fun and so motivating ~ she makes working out fun. She is helping me win my battle. She encourages me and always tells me how proud she is of me even tho she probably really wants to say, come on Mom, kick it up a notch! But guess what...I felt the WOW in my arms tonight! I'm going to bed felling really good physically and feeling really good about myself.  I'm getting a pep back in my step!

Oh, and since I am in the middle of my battle, and I am so motivated, I am going to buy myself these...

So, as I look at the top of this post and re-read My Daily Quote, I am confident that I am on the right track with winning this battle.  Oh and I have a secret...I will share it soon, but for now.... keep good thoughts that my secret will play out like I want it to.  And yes...it's a good secret ;-)

So for now, like I always close out my post....

until next time my fellow Physiquesians.

Two for two...

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

My Daily Quote.

I'm winding down for the night - feeling pretty good about myself.  Day 2 of my Physique 57 workout - CHECK!  (How great is my HollyGirl). I woke up this morning feeling well rested, a little sore, but very rested.  I slept so good last night.  I have made a commitment to myself about working out and eating right.  I stepped on the scale today; I wasn't very happy with what I saw, but if I don't know where I am, I will never know how far I have come. My daily quote fits nicely into my new mind set.  The unexplored territory for me is fitness.

We had an exciting project done at our house today.   Because we now have this little precious bundle of baby love in our family, we have invested in her safety...and the safety of all the future babies that follow her.  We put our pool in when Holly and Jonathan were teenagers so the need for a pool fence wasn't as necessary as it is now. Now that we are in another stage of our lives, that of being Grandparents, we will do anything we can to keep our Princess Sophia, and all future Grandbabies, safe.  I'm very pleased with the work and how great our backyard looks. Now, let the summer fun begin.

Maybe I can get that new bathing suit this year......

Until next time my Fellow Physiquesians....

I'm back.....

Where does the time go?  I don't get it.  I love to blog but I haven't blogged in well over a year.  I'm busy, but not that busy.  Am I boring?  Do I think people aren't interested in lil ol' me?  Maybe, but that's ok.  I started this Blog for me....if I got a few followers along the way that was great.  So, why was I gone for so long??? That is the million $$ question.  I'm going to start again, and I know I'll be a bit rusty at first, but I will get my rhythm back, I know it. Tonight, well I'm just babbling.

So, a quick update to get me started on the blogging bandwagon once again. I'm a Grandma now...Grammie to be exact and I love love love it!  More about that blessed event later. 

I have been lazy for what seems like forever.  I know that I am the master of excuses and I even started believing those excuses.  But....guess what....look what I got....and guess what I did?

I did this tonight?  I did my new Physique 57 DVD.  I was tired, I'm out of shape, 30 minutes seemed like forever, but I did it.  I wasn't going to do it tonight because I was tired. But I didn't use one of my old excuses. I didn't give in.  I did it tonight because I wanted to do it. I want to be healthy. I want to get in shape.  I want to look good in what I am wearing. I want to be a fit Grammie...I want this for me.  

So, there you go. I've started to blog again. I've done my first night with my new Physique 57 DVD. I got to spend 30 minutes with my HollyGirl.  What more can lil ol' me ask for. I'll get there, I'm back and I'm happy and content tonight!

I will close like I always have....Until next time my fellow Physiquesians....

PS: Happy Father's Day to all those amazing Dads out there especially my hubby (who gave me my two greatest gifts), my dad (who made me who I am today), and my babyboy (who celebrated his very 1st Father's Day with his new babygirl).
