If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.

I think my little day by day titles are kinda boring so I decided to change it up. One that I would love to make my title but I know it would be too long is this one that I saw in my gym. I'm posting it here so that I can look back on it too because it really inspires me to do more...

I won't just reach my goals. I will crush them. I am here to work hard. To learn. To take back my life. Get a little help. Live a lot. I will not be content. I will push myself. And be pushed. I will build my body. And fill it with confidence. One on one. One day at a time. For one reason. ME!!!

So today, I had a pretty great day. I don't know why but I'm feeling really positive today, well since my workout anyway. This morning, I woke up thinking I hate the snow, I hate these dry cracked lips I have, I hate having to wear different pants to the gym and then change when I get there because it's too cold to wear capris. But then I went to David's spin class, I used to go to his class when he first started teaching there and I really didn't like him but now I really love it. I feel like I'm riding outside and he's a great motivator. I also did his 30 minute core class after that which was a killer (but still not as hard as p90x abs, ha). I did the p90x yoga yesterday which has lots of push ups in it and there were quite a few push ups in this core class today. I know you're saying that's not core but he did it more like yoga and planks. Anyway, I ended up burning 830 calories in that class today. I also went out and shoveled snow this morning too but I only burnt 93 calories and I'm not going to count that in my total for the week. Then Wes and I went to the mall to return a couple of things, I was proud of myself for not buying anything for myself but it's difficult to shop with a 2 year old! :) I did get a pretzel that I planned to share with Wes but he didn't like it so I ate that, bad me but sometimes you have to give in and I only eat those probably twice a year. So sometimes you give in but you have to let it roll off your back and keep on truckin'. :) Other than that, we went to a friends yesterday and I probably ate a little too much but it was all good because I worked out, today even eating the pretzel, I think I'm still probably way under my calories and not hungry. I'm also going to a special yoga event at the gym tonight which I don't normally like doing in the evening but I'm going to do it anyway because Tyler will be here and it will give him and Brad some time together and my friend Andrea is going who I haven't seen forever so she kinda talked me into it! That's why it's good to have friends that workout and keep you motivated!

  • My week last week 4200 calories burned.
  • So far this week 1550 burned
  • 5750 of my 21,000 calories burned challenge!
