Today is Thursday and I have training again tonight, right now I'm dealing with second day soreness but it still feels good; every time I feel pain, I also feel stronger. I am looking forward to tonight so much, I find when I'm training I am automatically on point with my nutrition too. I am noticing that I am holding my abs in more, actually they are holding on their own, but I feel it all the way through the upper section too. She had me do something different because I can't twist my spine so it's harder to work the obliques. She had me lay on the mat, knees bent, feet flat and shoulder width apart and pretend like there was a rope I was holding and I had to do had over hand (3 times) to come up some and then slowly lower back down. The abs engaged OMG, 3 sets of 25 and holy crap everything is tight! I am both anxious and afraid of what she has planned for me tonight. LOL

My attitude/mood is alit lighter the past few days, probably since Monday night of last week, that's when I noticed or felt a shift happening. I'm so grateful because I was in such a funk of negativity it was affecting me physically, mentally and emotionally. I was miserable and getting depressed but then I had an AH HA moment and began to look at how the situation could be worse and how grateful I am that it isn't and that perspective changed everything. It was the turning point, don't get me wrong, I'm still dealing with stuff but I appreciate what I do have to deal with over what I could be dealing with.

Even at work I could be dealing with so much more but I found a way to exclude myself from the nonsense and waste of time that everyone involved in the "special projects" has to deal with because the person leading them (the partner's kid) can't make up his mind and keeps changing direction causing everyone to waste hours of time. Since then I have not had to sit through the entire 3 hour meetings, I am only pulled in when my perspective is requested. I'm ok with that.

So today is rainy and dreary but I am happy, yes happy, I have a full day scheduled of things to bang out at work, training with Elle tonight and then a little visit with two of my Grandpuppies while I drop stuff off and then home to shower and then relax while watching the biggest looser. Tomorrow is Friday and then Saturday I get my grandson so yes I have quite a bit to look forward too this week.

So have a good day and stay strong. Smile it looks good on you
