Well, Monday morning at 915 I had my wisdom teeth removed. I have to admit I wasn't worried about the 'surgery' but rather the anesthesia........... NO PROBLEMS, though, it was noooo biggie!!! :) I don't remember a thing, plus it didn't make me sick or nauseous or ANYTHING! :)
So, the last few days I've been home healing. I feel great. A little sore, not puffy at all, and on to just ibuprofen. Saweet. I'm looking forward to mashed taters tmrw!!!!!! :)
I wish you all a super happy & filling Thanksgiving. I promise this will become a fitness blog here again, REAL SOON!!!!!!! I have some fun exciting challenging news! :) yipee!!!!
Love you all~
XOXO~

CATCH YOURSELF
MUST CHECK EVERYDAY!!!!!!!
I swear, I feel like half the time this website is posting directly at me! :) Seriously! This last few days I've been off on diet. Not crazy off, just VERY inconsistent, waiting loooong periods before I eat, then eating too much.......I think I have this screwed up mentallity since I have my teeth out on Monday. Like, "I won't be able to eat this next week....blah blah blah" So yeah, I'm keeping it clean this weekend. That's it! I did HEAVY hamstring work yesterday and I anticipate not being able to get out of bed tomorrow morning. SWEEEET!!!!! :)
Love ya'll, check out todays post from "great day".
The moment you feel yourself slipping, take action right away to get back on track. If you catch yourself quickly, you won't fall very far.
It's great when you can stay disciplined and focused for long periods of time. At some point though, you'll get distracted and stray a little bit off course.
That's not the end of the world. Don't beat yourself up just because you've momentarily lost your focus.
Instead, give genuine thanks for how far you've already come. And then step right back on to the path you've set for yourself.
Being disciplined doesn't mean being perfect. Remember that what really matters is what you choose to do right now.
Even if you slip back one step for every two steps you take forward, you'll still be moving steadily ahead. Catch yourself, get back up, keep going and you'll get there.

Blogging Side Track
Gosh, guys, I've been awful at keeping this thing updated!!!!!!!!!! I'm staying super busy, but I check everyone elses' blog and run out of time for my own update!
Oh, here's a quick question for you: Is blogging bad for your fitness?? Do you find yourself checkin other blogs when you should be doing your workouts?? :)
Alright, sooooooo, next Monday i'm having all four wisdom teeth removed......YIKES. Not super thrilled. At. All. But, such is life, and it must be done. It's in the morning, and from the sounds of it, after a few days of rest, I should be well on my way. I'm doing it the week of Thanksgiving because that's typically a slower, relaxed week. So, wish me luck!!!!!! :)
I've been running more recently. Just on my treadmill. Although I know I can get a fantastic workout by doing incline fast walk, sometimes it just feels great to do a nice paced RUN!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by! Here are some pix from Kansas (I can't believe we go home AGAIN in 2 weeks! YAY!) Look for a vlog this weekend...........
LOVE~

Simple Truths
Just when you think they've produced some great work, Mac Anderson & Simple Truths come out with ANOTHER amazing book:
Dear Em,
In a perfect world, we hear something once, record it in our brain and never have to hear it again.
Well, I don't know where you're living, but my world is far from perfect. I occasionally have doubts, fears and disappointments in my life. During those times, I need “shots of inspiration” to reinforce, to encourage, and to motivate.
That's what my new book Charging the Human Battery is all about...
50 ways to motivate yourself! I think that one of the great challenges in life is to get inside our own heads, and truly understand what makes us tick. It's not easy, but this little book was written with that in mind.
Just remember...people are like sticks of dynamite; the power's on the inside but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.
It is my hope that as you read there will be many “a-ha moments” to light your fuse, and keep it lit, through good times and bad.
But here's the key...keep it close and read it often. Because as my friend Zig Ziglar said, “People often tell me that motivation doesn't last, and I tell them bathing doesn't either, that's why I recommend it daily!”
As I mentioned, there are 50 short chapters, and each one shares an idea that has the potential to turn your switch from “off” to “on.”
Live with Passion,
Mac Anderson

Good Idea.
www.greatday.com one of my favorites!!
Give your goal a feature that will vastly improve its chances of being fulfilled. Give your goal a deadline.
A deadline provides a firm boundary for your efforts, yet it does not limit or constrain those efforts. On the contrary, a deadline will focus your efforts toward a single point, giving them more power and practical effectiveness.
Without a deadline you can exhaust yourself and still not arrive at any meaningful accomplishment. A deadline compels you to prioritize and to expend your best efforts in the most meaningful direction.
With a deadline, you are constantly reminded of how valuable and precious your time is. You're able to see resources and opportunities that would otherwise remain hidden.
A deadline encourages you to do the best you can with what you have. And that's a skill that reliably leads to great accomplishment again and again.
Give yourself a deadline. And get the job done sooner rather than never.
