Feeling good

I have been feeling very positive lately( although things doesn't seem to go well at work).

Here is why:
1. Like mentioned earlier, I have been using all the free time from not watching TV( yes Im continuing it, because I got used to it now... !!) to cook fresh breakfasts and lunches. It also helped put dinner on the table before 7:30pm. I have been consistently eating very healthy and so does my family. I pack atleast 3 fruits a day, whole grain breakfasts/Lunches, toasted unsalted nuts and lots of cooked vegetables. I could see my family is very energetic and enthusiastic. I know for sure, its because of the healthy food.

2. Surprise, I lost 8lbs!! Not because I wanted to. But it just happened. Weight loss has been on my list for SO LONG maybe for past 8 yrs. So, even this small weight loss got me all motivated and the scaled hasn't budged since 8lb mark. So, I decided working out is the only way to go. I know, God acts in mysterious ways. And Intentions do manifest. :-) My partner came to know about a fitness study at a local fitness club and that it needed volunteers. We jumped at the opportunity. It goes on for 21 days with 9 sessions with personal trainers. So far, I have done 2 such sessions with a trainer. But Im free to use the Gym during this study. So, I started out very slow. Now, I have decided to do cardio 3 times a week for 30 min and weights twice a week for 15 min. My husband is doing it along with me so we can motivate each other.

4. I have been punctual lately. :-) I show up to my workouts ON TIME. Sometimes, even 5 min earlier. Reach office at 9:00am. Which is truly amazing. My partner is loving it!! My bad habit of this has been bugging him for years now.. I still have a long way to go to perfect it. But, I see a lot of changes in my schedules which is encouraging!

3. Now regarding my early rising: I still don't wake up at exaclty at 5:00am. But, I think Im getting there. I have been waking up at 5:30am consistently for quite some time now. I also bought a good alarm clock. I know, its not advisable to have cellphones around during sleep. Im going to use the alarm clock instead. So, hopefully tomorrow?

Overall, my mood has been Happy, Positive and Enthusiastic!! ( there is a always a thought in my head that I couldn't get it out: "Why haven't I tried this sooner?" I always find myself reply: "Atleast Im trying it now.... "

Its been a GREAT month so far....What a way to end April, 2009. Life is truly beautiful. Not perfect...! But Hopeful and Beautiful!
