Been A While...

It's been a very long time since I sat down and focused on myself.  This morning I decided to do just that.  I had the chance to do a very challenging workout at Crossfit called 31 Heros but time to myself for reflecting and recharging was much more important this morning.

My life has been upside down and absolutely crazy the last 60 days.  I'm working all kinds of crazy hours including working on the weekends at home.  My workouts have been fewer and fewer as each week goes by because I'm choosing to let it be that way.  My clean eating habits rarely exist as I make excuses why it's "ok" to eat the crap food!  Mentally and physically I'm worn out and needed to take this morning to spend time reflecting.

So what did I figure out?  Not only am I suffering by living/letting myself live this way it's also affecting those around me.  When I'm bitter and angry it flows out of me and into every aspect of my life.  I have so many positives in my life why in the world would I choose to be this way?  That's just it...IT'S A CHOICE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH ANGER AND BEING BITTER!

It's time to wake up and take back my life!  I have so many great things in my life and I've been ignoring all of them (family, friends, Mary Kay, Crossfit).  My Mary Kay business brings me absolute joy and happiness.  Just this last Tuesday I was my units first runner up in Queen's Court of Sharing!  Woohoo!  That's two years in a row of being recognized in my unit and I've only been in this business for two years!  It's not about getting rich for me because I absolutely love the women and products.  The girlfriends that I have made are friendships to carry for life and all because of Facebook and a spa afternoon!

Crossfit is another joy for me.  I feel amazing when I workout and I'm stronger every time I walk thru those garage doors!  I placed 2nd in a beginners competition in June and it's time to get my rear in gear to move out of the beginners category.  Can't do that though if you don't show up for your workouts!

Are you letting all the negative things run your life?  Are you doing what your truly love?  Are you spending time with only people who make you better?  If you aren't then stop and restart!  The only people who fail at something are those who never try again!  Life isn't perfect and never will be; we all have to keep trying!  We all deserve only the best that life has to offer!
