I DID IT!!!!!!

Woke up this morning and without hesitation I got up, got dressed, woke the dog up and off we went! It was a great walk for both Bailey and myself - we both needed it. She is back to bed however and I am going to get ready for work. Going to make this a great day!

Today Mikey would be 18 - WOW!!! RIP Mikey J. and Happy Birthday!

A New Path

So I had the opportunity to sleep in this morning but couldn't do it, not a shocker at all. I'm not a sleeper. As I was online seeing what everyone else is up too, I decide I should blog since it's been a while. Funny - it's been exactly a year since the last time! Oh what a year it's been too!

I am day 4 into a 90-day challenge. I was challenged to concur a fear, simple/moderate/complex. The first thought that popped into my mind was weight and exercise and I thought that's really stupid. People around me are talking about shooting guns, bunge jumping etc and I'm thinking weight. I put more thought into it and since it wouldn't leave my mind, I went with it. Then I went deeper as to why. Why is it not leaving and what do I have fear about? I hate to exercise and I won't walk the neighborhood alone - I'm going to concur that fear. 11 years ago my brother was murdered and that brought fear in me to a high level that I didn't really realize. I realize it now and it won't be this way forever! I haven't hit the neighborhood yet but that is my goal by Monday. However I have had 3 great days dealing with the food part of this. Oh I have to learn to like some foods - I'm even thinking I will try broccoli. That is the most disgusting food in my mind!! The weight fear is that I have always been a "bigger girl" and I think I'm hiding behind weight. I think I'm afraid of what lies beneath.

I will hold my head up and have confidence in myself that I WILL concur and not give up anytime in these next 90-days!
