Um...Let's be friends? Again?

Ok. So I am a procrastinator...Everyone knows that. I wait until company is on their way over before I start to clean my house. I wait until the snooze button has gone off 50 times and it is the final second before "I'm LATE"! to get out of bed. The list goes on and on.... (Please feel free to add your jabs) :) So, it's no surprise that I have waited a loooonnnggg time to: dum dum dum dum.....Post anything to my blog.

So here I am, with all kinds of new ideas and thoughts that I would like to share and hopefully start a new(old) habit of sharing my world with you.

1st things 1st. I did a competition back in May. I came in 5th. :( Yes, 5th is good, but I had my head pretty fluffed up and thought I deserved better. My jaw just about dropped when they called my name. (Side note: I had two judges tell me that I was meant for a higher placing - but I won't go into that now. I'm over it, really I am, no really I am.) I then had a show the next week. Since my pride took such a beating I have to confess that I kinda sorta lost heart. I ate way too much and then preceded to eat cheesecake right before I walked on stage. I just didn't care. That's when I had to reevaluate my priorities...

I have taken some time off. Literally. I am not training with coach, I have not been lifting as much as I would like and well the diet, what diet???

So, now here is the game plan. You always have to have goals right? I do plan on competing again, and I do want this to be a lifestyle. So my plan is to get under 20% body fat by January. I am still teaching Kickboxing two days a week and have also added teaching at the church to the staff. It is such a hoot! I LOVE those girls!!!

I will try to keep you posted on my progress, failures and complaints. Oh, and I want to leave you with some inspiration. ( I can find it in the funniest places, this one is on a bracelet at JC Penny's that I've been eyeballing)

"Dreams do come true; one choice at a time"

Wow! It speaks straight to me, like every time I want some of my kiddo's Halloween candy!!!

My "treat" for tonight: a spinach shake.
One hand full of baby spinach
One hand full of ice
4oz unsweetened almond milk
4oz water
Blend and enjoy!

What is your favorite healthy treat?

Blessings!!
