A day in the life...

I'm a routine kind of chick...my day may differ slightly, but usually I try to keep an organized day. My two pups, Rusty and Dunkel, are my little ones so my day usually starts with waking them up to go potty and have breakfast. I'll grab a piece of fruit, boiled egg or yogurt before going to the park for my run. I don't want to eat heavy before hand and even if I wanted to the lapband prevents it. Along with me on my run is my water jug because I will get thirsty. Because running is strenuous, I also mix in my blending bottle my BB E&E to drink along the run. I use the Nike app for running and I'm just now getting back into the kick of things since coming down with the flu... I'm running a 5k in March so I have little time to waste. I should be back up to speed in a few days and I cannot wait. It's important to stretch and I also monitor my heart rate! Once I return home I jump right into the shower and follow up with my Moriche cream, applying it to my fanny... I'm wanting more bounce and since losing 113 lbs I lost all my bounce :( After my cream ritual lol! I usually jump into my "play clothes" and head downstairs to make a quick breakfast. Something easy like oatmeal, toast and egg, or fruit and yogurt. I always have my breakfast with my Moriche Palm and milk.

Now the rest of my day varies a LOT but I'm studying most of the time since I'm in school, but sometimes I have errands to run or fit clubs I'm running during the week and on the weekends my fitclub always hikes. The bare bones about it is I eat a maximum of five times a day. Three meals and two snacks and don't let too much time go between. I use a meal replacement shake once daily only because it's easier on me with my busy day. I exercise twice a day. Once in the morning which is usually my run or hike and at night which is my cardio. You have to find a routine that fits you no matter what tools you use. I've chosen tools I happen to believe in and know that works. Had I known about Moriche the first time around I would still have my great ass lol! but no worries cos I'm getting it back! xo Desi

Do It Scared If You Have To!

Desi-ism of the day: Success won't bite you if you don't bite it! You can sit all day and dream about your goals and aspirations or you can put action where your mouth is and make them happen. The power of life and death are in the tongue, stop speaking defeat over your life! This note comes out of part frustration and part passion. Frustration over seeing people I care about miss the boat because they're scared to leap for it. Passion for people to make the most out of their gifts and stop hoarding them away.
If God has given you a gift don't bury it and do SHARE it! You don't know who's life you may be able to touch. Life can be scary, I know this but some things you just have to do scared! Put on your big girl panties and move forward. Trust in the Lord, he said He'd never leave you! Most important, is do all things with prayer FIRST! I'm not saying go into anything blindly, but if you have prayed for something don't expect God to slap you in the face with it in order for you to see it! Geesh!
You may feel slapped in the face when you don't recieve the blessing you've been expecting... you may even feel envy when you see others who have recieved the blessing you were desiring.... Are your eyes open? The thing about blessings is we can tend to be blind to them when they sit less than an inch from our noses. It's all up to you on what you do with this random note I'm presenting. I hope it lights a fire within the depths of your soul to act on those gifts God has adorned you with and to share with others and not be a stingy person. Okay that's all I got to say for now...
