Monday Manjoyment!

I'm NOT gonna lie. I'm still very much down with Rico Suave. I would so not have issues with him wearing this outfit on a date with me. I'm just sayin #CALLME.

For those of you that are not as old as me- meaning, you don't remember when MTV actually played MUSIC VIDEOS, here is something to consider. (WARNING: what you are about to see may alarm you as many of the early 90's fashions were high on Lycra, low on style, but we're talking Spring Break in South Padre ok?)

Yummy. 

Ok, so how is your Monday so far? Are you making progress or excuses?? 

I've been hearing a lot of feedback from you kids here, on FB, via Twitter and email on a more sane approach to eating healthy and getting fit. Below is part two on my "ENOUGH" philosophy. I'm working on this every day. It's a work in progress, and one that I know I'll be working on forever. Seriously! I love food. I love to cook, entertain and eat. Training our minds to not view food as "Good" or "Bad" but as something to be enjoyed in moderation......it takes time, especially if you've been dieting like an obsessed fool for years, as so many of us have. 

Just remember, the overall theme to getting fit is very simple- EAT LESS, MOVE MORE. You have to figure out an approach that will work for you to do BOTH- and be able to live and enjoy life while you are doing it!! For me, ESE has changed everything in that respect and I am so grateful to Jackie @girlwithnoname for bringing it to my attention. 

This part of "Enough" is about NOT settling for "Good enough". My trainer Mr. Jay has a tattoo on his forearm that says, "NEVER BE SATISFIED" and I say Amen to that. I don't WANT to be one of those people that might, in my place say, "Well, I'm 41, I look pretty good for my age, and I'm FINE WITH THAT...." No, I'm not "FINE" with anything until I can say, "Holy cow, I have reached my personal best! Now I can truly say I am in a maintenance mode, which is just as much effort but a bit less pressure."

Until then, I am NOT SATISFIED and I will keep pressing on to make each week better than the last, to keep reaching higher and challenging my body and my mind.
