Missed posting last week. Such a busy week w Thanksgivings & all. It was good. Working on new music & getting healthy. Only 2 weeks of school left.

For My Dad

You tried to live a simple life.
You tried to mind your business.
You made some hard decisions.
You made our lives good.

You always told us to dream.
Said we could do anything.
Now we're grown we see
Why you did some things you did

You worked 3 jobs at once.
You worked til your bones hurt.
Mom let us stay up til you got home.
I hope that made your day.

You live your simple life.
In your house with your first wife.
10 kids call you grandpa.
They adore you.

You'll always teach them to dream.
Tell them they can do anything.
And when they're grown they'll see
A man who left a legacy.

Holiday Haven

So looking forward to the Holidays! College Station for 5 full days! I can't wait to just sit in my old bed up in my old room & just be silent and still & know I have nothing to do for 5 whole days. Wow. Bliss.

Create

This word has been on my mind for weeks. It's all I think about. It flows from my lips. I think it means something. Back to the drawing board of life.

The World Around You

Lately "compassion" has been on my mind. And "love". Compassionate Love??? All the election talk & negativity that comes with debates has got me in a funk about humanity - aren't we more than arguments & opinions? My sis-in-law posted a picture on Facebook this morning & it described what I believe we should all live by: Do Not Judge. "You don't know what storm I've asked her to walk through."

Whether you have a faith you follow or not, it is still true that people are forced to walk through "storms" that affect them mentally, physically, spiritually... Shouldn't we be compassionate & unassuming when we have no idea what someone has experienced?

I'm going to practice compassion today.

Weekly blog posts

I've decided that since I now have a blogger app, I'm going to post to my blog weekly. Not sure what I'll talk about but seeing as my blog is titled Be Inspiring I plan on trying to keep my updates short, sweet, & inspiring. ;)

P90x Day 65 Update

Please compare & let me know what differences you see. I can't really see differences but I know I feel really good.

P90x Journey

48 days ago I began an amazing journey of getting into shape.

P90x has been quite an adventure & I can't believe I've stuck w it for nearly 50 days. I had no idea when I started that I would have made it this far & I now have no doubt that I can make it all the way! The message I'd like to convey is that if someone like myself can do this & stick w it, YOU can too! Something that has helped me on this journey are my girls at the facebook page Inspire Sweat & Motivate . Because of them, each day has felt even more rewarding. Getting to share the news that I've completed yet another day is so exciting & they seem to be just as excited as I am. Thanks, ladies!

Can't wait to share my after pictures. I'm cinching up my diet w the new Tone It Up Beach Babe DVD & Spring Into Bikini Season 2012 workout & diet plan! If you haven't already checked out those 2 awesome ladies you'd better get on over to their page & do it immediately. They are great motivators & trainers.

Have a wonderful week! 

P90x Progress Photos: 45 Days (half way)

So these are my midway pictures. I'm working hard but at the beginning I wasn't eating very healthy. I'm REALLY excited to see the end result as I step up my heathy food choices. ANYONE can get fit if I can. I hope this inpsires you to kick some butt & get healthy & strong. Good luck in all your endeavors.

CREATING A STRONG WOMAN

Once you commit to something, that's when the journey begins. Stick to it & you will see your life change. The biggest hurdle to jump over is the first one - committing.

Whatever it is that you are struggling to commit to today, just do it. You will be so proud.
