Snap * That Spark Back

Photobucket Finding the SPARK again is the plan for this week!
Not falling off the game plan but just not fired up at the moment, about anything.  Maybe it is this winter. Maybe that the house has been full of sickies that just do not seem to be able to get well.  What ever it is I need to find the spark to take things from just going through the paces and rev it up to that "what a day :-)! " kind of feeling.  Hoping just working at it will start the trend in the right direction.  Put a rubber band around my wrist and if things start to get negative or glazed dull it is time for a quick SNAP to be a reminder to snap out of it.  
This Sunday's weigh in had the yo yo was back at the lower end of the swing.  Today the scale is still holding there.  Going to try very hard to make this week the week the string breaks on that yo yo and the numbers keep going down.  
Off to the gym.

Back... 
track 15 min. (trying to speed walk), bosu core work (ouch), bike 20 min. (foot seems to get bugged around 15 - 20 min.), weight machines (whoa, muscles got weaker), treadmill 15 min. (walking w/3 incline), pool 30 min.  By the time I've gotten home things are already getting sore.  Better do some stretches tonight.
The message board at the end of the pool's lap lanes spoke again.  
Winners concentrate on winning,
Losers concentrate on just getting by.
No more just getting by, time to go for the gold.  
After the pool treated myself to the steam room.  Think it was the first time I've really felt warm in ages.  Oh it felt GOOD.

Good for you getting the ball rolling again! A house full of sickies will definately set you back.

Sounds like your trip to the gym was just what you needed!

That's quite the workout! Nice :) I need to kick my butt back into exercising - moving - anything! I'm getting there slowly...

Great working out! I love the quote and I've been a loser long enough, I want to be a winner! Thank you!
