Sometimes it just takes a good song!

After a very slow start to the week-feeling very fatigued, achy & of course having cramps from hell thanks to that TOM-today I'm feeling pretty up and fit again-quite enthusiastic and inspired really!

First reason is the knowledge that today makes 67 days of not touching alcohol. I have to admit, that I have had a few moments of missing it-mainly "red wine Friday"; but you know what? It passes! That's the key folks, when you get a craving, take heart in the knowledge that IT WILL PASS!

Other than that, John & I have still been working on a few issues as it is still very raw for him-but fortunately he knows he will get fully past it eventually so actually, we are doing really well; especially when you consider it has been less than 3 months, though it really does feel like an eternity ago.

As I said earlier, I was feeling quite fatigued early in the week. I skipped cardio Sunday afternoon-but grudgingly got on the treadmill Monday, Tuesday & yesterday. Yesterday afternoon one of the new songs I just downloaded to my IPOD came on and WOW-I just couldn't help but start thinking of a posing routine for comp! I played the song over several times-so my cardio session went longer-then I got off the treadmill and fooled around with a routine! It just amped me up! It's really amazing how the right music can alter your mood. So that is my tip for the day-get the right music on your IPOD for your cardio sessions...it really makes a humongous difference!
