Dashing Through My Day

"Are you okay?"  "You need to sit down and rest."  "I'm worried about you."  I am hearing these comments more and more.  Know why?  Because I am literally DASHING THROUGH MY DAY! Where is all this boundless energy coming from?  Well, I bet you can see where I'm going with this.

Let me tell you what a typical day used to be like for me.  Upon waking, I would continue to lie in bed like a big slug, unwilling (both physically & mentally) to face the day ahead.  Drag myself up, make coffee - instant - because I didn't have the will or the energy or the patience to set up the coffee maker and wait.  Put on my fuzzy robe, curl up in my fuzzy chair, blink my fuzzy eyes stupidly over my coffee, and pray that soon my fuzzy brain would wake up.  And it would take at least an hour for me to come the point that I could have a coherent thought.  Don't try to talk to me ...talk to the hand!  EVERY morning was so hard to face and it took SUCH a long time for me to be able to face it.  I LOVED Saturdays, not for the right reasons, though.  I loved Saturday because it was the one day where I could just lay there, sleep late, and not have to face it.

I have been doing some type of BB exercise program for the past seven months.  At 225.5 lbs, I began doing Power 90, then Power 90 Master Series, and now P90X.  I am now at 168 lbs. With P90X, I have also begun taking Activit, Shakeology, and Results & Recovery drink - I've been on them for one week.  In the past, I have taken so-called miracle supplements that NEVER lived up to their name.  Time wasted, money down the drain. By the end of this week, my mornings have UTTERLY changed.

Today, SATURDAY, no less ... I woke up before my alarm went off.  My brain already buzzing with great big Saturday plans. Coffee? Didn't need it. Put my robe on and walked the dog (my husband always walks the dog, 'cause I'm still in bed).  I am actually looking forward to attacking my P90x workout in just a few minutes.  I am quite literally ready to bound up and bring it! I find myself looking forward to this day with an incredible sense of anticipation. instead of wasting it in bed or in my fuzzy chair, I am sitting here mulling over this glorious thought ... "How much fun can I pack into this one day?" With all this incredible new energy ... the possibilities are mind-boggling!
