Day 4: Smile until your cheeks hurt

Today is day four of a 21 day challenge that I am taking part of with GPF. I have decided that as part of this challenge I am going to blog about my goals and how my day turned out.

Day 4: Todays goal was to get a mile walk in at lunch. This morning I looked at a few houses before heading into work. I've definitely figured out what I like and what I don't like. I wont be making any purchases today- since the one in which I liked the layout isn't an option.
Meetings ran my day {I got some REALLY good encouragement and feedback from my boss} and I didn't even get to take a lunch break. I was feeling discouraged and was determined to get in a walk before class. But sometimes things don't go as planed and by the time I got out of work for the day it was time to get over to class. Before class, I needed to try on my bridesmaid dress (thank you Marg for getting it for me). STRESSED doesn't even start to explain how I felt about it. Nearly everyone has had issues with them, including me- the first one wouldn't unzip- yes unzip. I couldn't get it to unzip to try it on. This one unzipped, fir and I even have a little room. I'm not complaining.

Class time. Bokwa. AHHH! I don't think I could of smiled anymore! Everyone rocked it and I had so much fun. Then... Burpees... Blah. 30... but we did it in 3:30 so I was happy. Tomorrow is 35 and it is going to be hard. Then it was Zumba 30/30 time. It was great and I was defiantly feeling the week of workouts (this was the 8th class I taught, but 10 class total done since Monday). I'm not a quitter so after class- it was out to walk my mile to reach my goal. Thank you Jenn and Carla for joining me- and Jenn for the jacket to wear. I need to keep a sweat shirt in my car- it is getting colder!

I came home to see my cousin and his family hear. Little Carter man was asleep. I made some dinner and came back in the living room. He opened his eyes as he was adjusting in my mothers arms, saw me and was wide awake. I spent the next hour snuggling and playing with me. {OMG I LOVE HIM} He even helped me write some of this post. {See photos below!} Which made me smile ear to ear. Something about a baby and unconditional love <3.

Tomorrow is a day off.. and guess what I will be doing... =D  Yeah I will be at class(es). {I do promise to write about taking classes} I work out, because I can. When I get tired, or I am short on time, have meeting after meeting, paperwork up to my eyeballs, or I want to quit... I think about how lucky I am to be healthy enough to workout daily. I am grateful for my health and my ability to become stronger. I know it's not going to all come off in one day. I may look in the mirror and not always like what I see.  HEALTHY is BEAUTIFUL!
