I'm on a serious mission to succeed! I'm not only talking about by Dec 10, 2009; I'm referring to the rest of my life. I'm trying to lay out the blueprint for building my life the way I want it. As this year is quickly coming to an end, I want to be ready and as prepared as I can to continue strong as of Dec 11, 2009. I want to aim high, try things I've never tried before; commit myself to completing certain things as I did with the 5K run. Just getting out of my comfort zone. As LesBrown says, "shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars". So I'm currently in the research and planning stages....researching things that I am interested in or want to try (for example rock climbing, a mini-triathalon -"Try a Tri", joining a recreational sports team - soccer or baseball, taking tennis lessons) AND SO MUCH MORE and just planning out what I need to do to get there!!
I feel like I am so close to really breaking through and continuing on with my life - living the best life I can live! I feel there's just so much more to come and I want to live and enjoy all of it! I know it won't always be all good but right now it just feels like it will and I don't want to lose that. There's so much I want to do! I'm rambling...sorry...
Anyway, I had a good workout this morning but had to stay home with my son as he's under the weather and I think I may be coming down with it as well...cold symptoms. Hoping I can fight it off! I still have to make some time to meet with my trainer so that I could get my new program to propel me to that finish line! A lot of challenges have surfaced throuhgout this journey; from my travelling, exteme cravings and just overall busy life working fulltime and family. One of my biggest challenges have been and still remains, TIME!!! Making the time to workout, to prepare meals, to meet my trainer, to get to the gym, time for myself!!
I just started a new job a couple of weeks ago and just starting to get into it right now; I have a few deadlines this week that I MUST meet and quite a bit of work to do - so that's filling up the schedule right now. My husband is really busy with work so less available to pick up my slack with our son and at home. I said it so many times before, I could not have gone through this journey without my husband and his never ending support (in so many ways). All this to say that the next few weeks will be crazy busy for me. I'm hoping that I could meet up with Rob on the weekend, even if it's for 1/2 an hour to get the new program and instructions and be on my way..time is of the essence and I don't want to waste a minute.
So I'm going to check on my son (who should be sleeping - but probably isn't) and get myself off to bed. I've received a few requests to write my daily schedules down every now and then so I will try to that. Here are my plans for tomorrow ( which is the same on Thursday) I will do Monday and Wednesday's tomorrow)...
5:45am Wake up (have a cup of water)
Start my cardio (a 45 minute walk/run on treadmill - too cold outside in the am now)
6:30am Make breakfast (4 egg white/spinach omlette) and either eggs and toast or cereal
(for my son and hubby)
7:00am Wake up the boys, shower get ready as they eat
7:30 - 7:45am Get my son ready as hubby cleans up downstairs andgets ready (a joint effort - we make a good team)
8:00 - 8:15am Leave the house, drop son to daycare, head to work (both hubby and I)
9:ooam - Start work
10:30am Have morning snack (apple and 5-8 almonds, water)
11:45 -12:45 Jiu-jitsu class (drink water)
1:15pm Back to work....eat lunch at my desk while working (steamed broccoli and chicken breast, water)
3:00-3:30pm Afternoon Snack (boiled egg, cucumber slices, water)
5:00pm Leave work for home (hubby would have picked up son from daycare)
5:45pm Make dinner
7:00 -8:00 Playtime
8:00-8:30 Get my son ready for bed
9:00 - 10:00pm Weight Training
10:00-11:oopm Shower, Blog and BED!!!!
I only do cardio on Jiu-jitsu days.....on kickboxing days (Monday, Wednesday) - no cardio!! :)
As you can see the days are quite long and full; not much time to spare, hence the reason why my weekends are my time for family. We try to pack a lot of things in for the weekend - just making sure to spend some quality time making memories. Crazy life but fun, nonetheless.
Anyway, that's it for now...
Until next time...

oh my gosh joania...you do like three workouts.
And of course no 'cardio' on kickboxing days, those classes will kick your *ss. I am impressed and feel lazy.
lol.
I like how you are trying to get through or get outside of your comfort zone. That's what I am trying to do as well.
I really admire you.
have a great week.
Eating eggs at your desk. Your colleagues must love you. Haha! Makes me think of a couple of episodes of The Office.
I'm so glad you are enjoying your new job as that can be a stressful transition depending on the situation. Sounds like you are really doing great on your eating and exercise! You go girl!
reading all you do in day clearly shows i am wasting my life sleeping! I am in bed by 9pm and up at the same time as you and you still fit in so much exercise. I clearly need to get off my lazy ass and start taking care of this temple. WOW you do alot in a day.
My blog address has changed:

...here I thought my day was packed!
As they say: "Success is a choice" and you sure are making all the right choices!
Cheers to you!
You have a very busy schedule. Good luck with your goals. I am very goal orient, have been most of my life. I have found setting goals gives me purpose and a direction. Achieving goals gives more self confidence and self esteem in the process. At http://determined2.com Promotes successful pursuit of life goals.
That is a busy schedule, but I always believe that busier people are usually happier people. By the way, Les Brown rocks!
