I just wanted to take this opportunity to through out a huge shot out (not something I normally do) to Nicole for getting up with me at 5am to go to the gym this week. It was her first week getting up, and well it takes some will to drag yourself out of your warm toasty bed that early and head out into freezing weather. So good job baby you rock!

You Dirty Filthy Pig
Well I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Weekend or Singles Awareness Weekend. Either way it was a time to spend some time with the one you love, for me that was Nicole and lots of empty calorie food. I ate like pig, I can't believe I let myself get this way? I guess old habits are easy to fall back into especially when it brings you enjoyment. I would consider having my mouth wired shut, but if you know me, you know I love to hear myself talk so that wouldn't work. I think the answer is more piratical than that and should be easy for me, but it's not.
So I am asking some folks out there for some help? What works for you? I am exercising but I am having a lot of trouble with the eating healthier part. Maybe I just need Gordon Ramsey call me every morning and tell what a filthy pig I am. My problem is Spring is fast approaching and I am not going to look right in cycling garb. I could be ticketed by the police for indecent exposure. I could just see the ticket now, "spandex does not really mean one size fits all" You laugh but I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about the idea of spandex and a cycling jersey...YIKES!

Struggle
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the
people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe
that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If
it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just
promised it would be worth it.
I was sent that in a email last week from Nicole. Your standard issue mass email that most people delete or worse, they hit the reply all button, those people bother me. Okay so this is one of those "make you feel good" emails normally sent with a picture of sleeping cats that make you say ahhhh. I think it might be worth looking at it a little more carefully.
It starts off with the idea of not having regrets. It sounds quit simple, but I have several regrets that haunt me everyday. I shoulda coulda woulda is something that will leave you in knots. Sometimes I blame my current place in life on my regrets. Its pretty easy to do if you think about it, but currently, just to let you know, the haunting regrets are not really moving me forward. I struggle with it and I will hope I can share my regrets to insure someone else doesn't make some of the stupid mistakes i have made.
The next line is something that could be done more and should be unconscionably. "Love the people who treat you right." What a simple suggestion, but still I struggle with this too. Why? How stupid. In my normal day to day I encounter so many idiots, especially at work. And yet I get so worked up over these people who treat me bad, when I should be concentrating on those love me unconditionally. Honestly people really need to think before they speak. How nice would that be?
As we get to the next line I have to admit for the longest time I always said there was no such thing. "And believe everything happens for a reason." I never really believed that existed. Well literally I guess everything does happen for a reason. My problem I didn't always agree with that reason, so I didn't really like to hear it from anyone. Mostly because the only time I did hear it was when I was faced with tragedy or heartbreak. I didn't find it that comforting at the time. But looking back some of my greatest blessings came as a result of something happening then something else and so forth. Although its hard to see that when your heart is broken and you can't think that far ahead.
As this little email inspiration comes to a close it leaves me encouraged. "If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it." Wow, now this is Sunday TV preacher inspiring. Myself I struggle with this too because I wonder sometimes have I taken enough chances? Have I put myself out there enough to let a chance change my life. I believe this is something I need to work on. I still have a feeling deep down that my best days are ahead me.
