It has been quite some time since I last wrote, however, I love writing and someone recently motivated me to start back up again. I absolutely love reading positive and inspirational quotes. I enjoy focusing on the good things going on and although there are some days where it can prove to be a big challenge to be so positive, there's always a fresh start waiting to try again. I hope to begin writing again to send positive vibes back out into the universe for anyone to pick up and use for themselves! :-)
A month ago, a friend of mine was in a terrible car accident. She spent two weeks in the hospital and two weeks in a rehabilitation center. I recently visited her before she was sent home, and although she still has a LONG road to recovery, I am so proud of her for the progress she has made thus far. She was zipping around in her wheelchair and the energy she put out was enlightening. When I first heard about her accident, I was determined to help her get through the worst of this SOMEHOW, even in the littlest way. I would send her positive text messages each day, and be there for her if she needed to cry or talk. Most people in her situation would let it get the best of them. NOT Ashley. Even when she was feeling her worst and in the beginning when she was in unbearable pain, she still fought through it all and would be able to turn her thoughts around the next day and focus on recovery. In turn, Ashley motivated me to get moving and really focus on the next step of my goal to get fit. I have been working out more, but finding it difficult to find the proper time of day to focus on workouts. I realized after what my friend had been through that I really don't have room for excuses. I have these legs that I can use and was not taking advantage of that. In the past week, I have begun waking up at 5:30-5:45 and going for a morning run. I am officially signed up for my first 5K which I will complete this Saturday, the 30th.
I am currently in my best shape since my wedding almost 4 years ago and am determined to hit my mid thirties in even BETTER shape! I plan to post workouts, quotes, food ideas, etc here moving forward, and I hope others will join me on my journey and I hope that if you are in need of some positive thoughts/vibes, you will be able to come here and walk away feeling a bit better.
Tonight I leave you with a quote I recently found and absolutely loved.... May you go to sleep tonight with sweet dreams and wake up tomorrow with a new positive outlook on the day ahead.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step" -Lao Tzu
