"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

Cheers

So many things have changed. Let me begin with the first on my mind. ME!

I took the summer off of school and I have to say that it was a very well rested semester. Even though I do wish I took at least 1 class, I stand by my decision and I'm making it count. So for whatever I have left of the summer before fall comes, I will enjoy every minute of it as best I can.

Now, when I say many things have changed I'm speaking in a mental state. My mind is very focused and satisfied with the changes I've made.

1. Fitness. I know that I have always just wanted to be fit but then I would always lose focus on that goal and really just wouldn't care. Until about a month or two ago. I have literally committed to a healthy living. Exercise and eating healthy have become a priority. I wake up every morning and right on my mind is "What am I gonna do today to improve my health?" Seriously. I may not be fully fit now, but I will be. I will succeed this time because I have found a place in my heart that has made it fully meaningful. Now, all of this couldn't have just come out of the blue right? Well, let me explain where this began.

My sisters kids come over every now and then when they have church meetings and what not. I've noticed their life styles and eating habits and I'd have to say it's not on the healthier side of the pyramid. And then I'd watch my kids and see that theirs is going down that same path. Now, my sisters kids are let's say, getting fat. It's honest. And I would think that kids of young age and their eating habits are very much credited to the example of their parents. I do not want unhealthy kids. So, for the past about two months I have been very good about making sure my kids are eating healthy and are getting in all the vitamins they need to be well nourished.

I am proud to be living a healthy life and want my kids to learn that example from me.

I hope you all can find healthy living something that is very important in life too. =) xoxo

I felt, I need, I hope

It's been a while Blogger.

Things are changing. I first want to point out how focused I am on a fit life. I've made changes to my workout routine and also my eating habits. Two important factors to living healthy. There have been many times before that I have tried to commit to a healthy living, but nothing like the commitment I have made recently. The past few weeks have been very dead for me. I felt like I couldn't do anything I really wanted to. I felt like my self esteem was at an all time low. I felt like I was never gonna be good enough. I just really felt low. Very low.

I am a stay at home mom. I hate staying home. I need to do something that will make me feel like my life isn't just passing me by. I need purpose. So, after thinking over my circumstances. I have now found a greater feeling for a fit life. I take out all my negative nancy on living healthy. And find it very very appealing. I like to do it. I like to make change. And since I will be home with the kids till they are practically in school, unless circumstance change, then I will be living fit! Promoting healthy living and helping those I love live a healthy life too.

So this summer I hope to find my summer bliss through these changes I have committed to. I hope to enhance my inner strong Via. I hope to become better. And as the summer goes by, I WILL MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT!

Happy Summer!
