FitBit Flex

New in the box!
I'm thrilled to have my new FitBit on my wrist.  Finally an app focused on ways to improve my life!  I've found it to be easy to use, comfortable to wear and motivating to just keep going!

And I've grown to love the vibration and light display when I reach 10,000 steps for the day.  It's even better when that  happens before noon.  And yet, I'll take it anytime!

I'm hopeful that it helps keep me on track and continues to motivate me to reach new goals.  As my best competition is myself, it allows me to monitor and track not only steps, but food, water, workouts and more!  And stylish?  Doesn't get any better than this, right?

Perhaps I can even get my husband one to motivate him to take 10,000 steps a day!


Day One accomplishments!

Never Quit!

Sometimes that's hard.  Not to quit.  Not to give up.  On running, on eating right, on being a good friend, on keeping up with the dusting, on putting a smile on my face when I'm in tears on the inside. But somehow I manage. It may take me some time to get back on track, but I don't give up.  I sustain.  I believe my purpose is to do the best I'm able, and to take others along.  Help bring others up - show them the way, give them a smile and my other motto, 'Do a good deed." That may require that I dig deep.  Doesn't feel like that effort is within grasp.  Today is not one of those days.  Even after the Game 6 loss of the B's in the Stanley Cup Finals.  I believe I can do this ... and that's the mental battle needed to win when striving to 'never quit'. Really nice things that have happened in the last week days - - Received an incredibly thoughtful thank you card from my roommate in college - She's going through a tough tim

Day 25: A Love Letter

Perhaps this one is the most challenging blog of Blogember month … it's not about being clever or witty, being funny or entertaining.  This blog is a love letter to myself….. Dear Jude, In thinking of all the wonderful things I appreciate about you, what comes to mind immediately is your fierce devotion to your family and close friends.  I love that you find ways to comfort, surprise and endear them to you with thoughtful notes, conversations and the occasional, "I saw this and I thought of you," gifts. As you dedicate yourself to ensuring your family is well taken care of and always feels loved, you are an incredible mom.  You refer to yourself as an 'intentional' parent - with the way you help your daughter see the lessons in the good and the painful, remind her of her kind and caring heart from which to make decisions and the playful nature you allow to escape showing her how much fun life really is. Part of your nurturing nature has allowed you to

Goal Setting and Success!

Today was a winning day for me.  I am closer to my goals than ever before.  As you may recall I set three goals for myself involving weight loss, successful professional accreditation and promotion.  I have officially lost 4.5 pounds since April 1st, and today passed another part of the designation making be exactly halfway complete! This is a huge accomplishment for me!  I've sacrificed and put the time in to set myself up to succeed.  Each step is not always forward, but I do keep moving. My husband said to me tonight after work (and finding out I passed another part).  "I really admire your determination to keep going.  I would have quit long ago.  But not you.  You didn't let it get you down." That truly means the world, not that he sees me as successfully passing, but that success has not come easily.  And I refused to be defined by it.  I am driven, determined and downright stubborn when it comes to going after something I want. Tonight I cele
