Love is amazing and heals so much. The pain I've endured the last 6 months has been tempered by the amazing love I've been shown from an unlikely source. I am forever grateful to have this in my life.
Love really is everything.

Fatigued but staying Fierce!
I got a flu shot the other day and of course I feel awful now. It hasn't stopped me from working out though. As bad as I feel, I'd feel even worse if I missed too many workouts.
Thursday I did 44 minutes on the machine, 50 push ups, and 20 ab killer leg raises.
Today I ran with Reese, did 30 minutes on the machine, 30 push ups and 30 ab killers.
I haven't eaten much since I feel awful but I managed a bowl of chicken broth.
That's about it for today.

Change is good
All I can say is, the best laid plans...
Everything I thought I knew in my life seems to have been turned on it's ear. My marriage fell apart, my boss retired and my position was eliminated - ending on November 15th, I moved out of my beautiful house that I loved so much, away from my darling friends and neighbors that I also love so much, and lost some friends along the way who decided to pick sides. I now live in the South Sound, in a very pretty condo with Reese. No one has been to visit me yet, but I'm doing okay. Some really great things have happened recently and for that I am grateful and feel truly blessed. I got a job offer from the company I really wanted to work for and I'm super excited about that. My divorce will be final at the end of the month and that's also another chapter closing and a new one opening. So many changes, so many things happening at once. It's like I was tossed into the ocean and came out safely on the beach. It was a wild, scary ride but I feel like I'm going to be okay. I've been sticking paleo, with just a few slips. I have been making gluten bread with a friend's bread machine and really love being able to eat sandwiches again. I haven't been working out the way I should but I'm getting back on that train too. The dust is settling and my life is finally reaching a point where I feel secure again. This means I am going to recommit myself to my health. For the next two months I am going to do the following:
1. Workout everyday without fail - run/elliptical/JM/Total Gym
2. Eliminate alcohol during the week!
3. Forgo cheese, again. This is so hard but it must be done.
4. Get enough sleep!
5. Stick to my paleo nutrition plan
It's a lot to commit to but I think the results will definitely be worth it. I know I can do it. I have a friend that's going to join me in this little adventure so together we should be able to support each other. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
I would like to be fitter, happier and healthier by the new year.
I hope to be posting more regularly.
Have a great primal day!
