January 31st

In the spirit of change this past weekend was a good one in my opinion. We starting doing things differently and we plan on continuing with making positive changes in our lives. At some point I am sure it will be the norm to just do things more positively and in turn we will be happier.

Friday, we, JC (my hunny) and I had an appointment with a personal trainer at the gym. We do not plan on using personal trainers at this point. Our new gym membership including one free day so we took advantage of that. It was interesting getting some work out & nutritional ideas from a professional. They worked out with us for the day and boy did they kick our butts.

We have set a schedule. We will be going to the gym three days a week M-W-F. We will take the weekends off. JC usually works a lot on the weekend anyway so it works for us. We are still a little sore from Friday’s work out, which feels really good. It helps me to know that I am doing something good for myself.

Saturday I picked up my grandbabies and kept them overnight. It is always so much fun having the babies in the house. After I picked them up, we stopped at the store and picked up a few things to keep them occupied. I had them spend the weekend a few weeks ago and the little one cried a lot so this time I bought a baby bouncer which kept her quite content. Even the smallest of changes can make a huge difference.

Sunday after dropping the babies off with their Mom, JC and I ran a few errands. JC has been wanted this particular pair of sunglasses for almost a year now and well since I ordered my new phone I figured why not get him something he has been wanting for a long time too. He is making positive changes and besides that he deserved them. Doing something nice for others to make them happy is always a good thing.

JC and I went grocery shopping and I am proud to say we bought a lot of healthier foods for our family to eat. I am determined to start eating right. So, we bought specific foods to help with our plan to get healthier and in better shape. I have to admit, I am extremely happy, excited and anxious to get to where I want to be. With hard work and dedication, It won’t be long.

Positive ideas for change continue to form in my in my head, let’s see what actions I will take next…
