The Comfort Zone

definitely OUT of the comfort zone this morning.

JUST finished a good, hearty 5.  check!!  It's a good feeling to know that it's 8:18 and I've already made this choice for myself.  something really clicked last night when we were watching the Biggest Loser.  Everyone talks about how they now realize that they deserve this for themselves; that they finally want to get healthy for themselves.  It's very emotional, and a powerful experience for them.

And I thought, by NOT doing my 5 daily, what am I telling MYSELF about how i value my own health and well-being?  it's a strong message, i realized.  so without planning it, i popped out of bed this morning and just wanted to send myself a strong message that i CARE!

so it's raining.  and cold.  and i ran in the rain and got wet.  and i'm not going to lie; i DID feel slightly like a triumphant, although perhaps slightly less Italian and muscular, Rocky.  but it was only 5 minutes and guess what?  it wasn't bad!!  it was actually GREAT.

what message are YOU giving yourself today??

much love-

Mall Walker

hello lovelies.

well there has been much buzz about how no one is "doing their five".  here i am to say i have BROKEN that cycle; for all of us.  why not??

i am now a mall walker.  was running into the mall to do a little work (brought my laptop) in between appointments and thought, "I can take an few extra minutes and  do my five walking fast!"  So i did.  and you know what?  i LOVED it. only stopped once at Steve Madden to look at boots.  but you know, you need boots to walk, so it all kinda works together, right?

walking is one of the answers.  no special shoes or outfit required, and everyone already does it every day! i think it's just about capturing 5 minutes JUST for you; stepping it up to kick up your heartbeat for your five, and breathing deeply and thinking about how you are DOING it.  so empowering!!

much love to all...
