Day 2 (and a little pep talk too!)

Today was day 2 od the insanity challenge. I hadn't done particular workout yet, but Bryan had. He told me it was scarily hard. I didn't believe him. The trainer on this DVD series tried to kill me today. He should be arrested for attempted murder. I sound like a giant baby, and I'm perfectly aware of that, thank you. I know that it's going to take a lot of work for me to get into the kind of shape that I want to be in, but I have mentioned the lazy, yes? But I'm going to put the lazy aside. I don't want jiggly bits anymore.

So that's what's going on today. However, for your reading pleasure, I'm going to add a post that I wrote a couple years ago. Enjoy!

The Tao of Kristen

Current mood:blessed

I pushed snooze one too many times. It was freezing outside. I had to scrape my windows (and of course I scraped Bryan’s too because he wasn’t up yet and I love him). I had to be at work an hour earlier than usual. Of course I was late. Spilled coffee all down my pants on the way into my office. When I got here, my computer monitor was dead. I didn’t get enough sleep last night. I didn’t get my homework done. It’s so quiet in my office that it sounds as though the clock is yelling the "tick tocks" at me. Caffeine is not helping.
This is my day so far. I sure hope it gets better.
But who has the most positive attitude in the world?? ME! :) Yesterday (Easter) was great...exhausting, but great. People love me. I’m not being egotistical, just making an observation. I think that’s how I keep myself so positive. I got about a million hugs yesterday. Sometimes I don’t realize how many people care...I am extremely blessed to have these people in my life. No matter what decisions I’ve made, no matter what path I’ve taken, they are always there.
So, no matter how many days like this I have...No matter how much coffee gets spilled on my pants, they can be washed (I JUST WASHED THEM YESTERDAY!!!). Life is full of snags...Full of bad hair days, or just bad days in general. That’s LIFE. The trick is to look past the little things. Look past the people who annoy you. Look past coffee spills and bad drivers. Look to what really matters: good health, a beautiful day, your family (yes, even their faults), your friends, the kindness of strangers. Life is what you make it. If you focus on the negative, that’s how everything will look. That’s how everything will be. I mean, let’s face it...there’s a lot of negative out there to focus on. But focus on the positive, however little you can find. Love and be kind, even though you don’t want to. It pays off...And that’s not just the Xanax talking!!
I know I sound like a dirty hippie, but I’m not, I swear!  :)
